Seeking: Booking, Label

Style: Funky Pop

Rami 411 describes his sound as “funky pop,” which make sense—there’s a Maroon 5-esque vibe to the swinging groove of a song like “Dream.” Perhaps more impressive still is the way he has been able to reinterpret KISS’ driving, heavy-riffing, hard rock beast that is “Detroit Rock City” as a smooth, pop-funk gem. It’s a testament, first of all, to the quality of the song.

But also, it proves that Rami 411 is capable of thinking outside of the box. On “Gettin’ Loose,” the artist does exactly that, playing with rapped verses. It’s fun to spread those wings a little.
