Speed Dial 7 is Tom De Geeter’s one-man band. You may know De Geeter as one half of Zucchini Drive, one third of Cavemen Speak, one fourth of Nuccini!and one fifth of Gunporn. He is also one of the people responsible behind the label Marathon of Dope. Last year he released his first solo album Short Rich Apocalypse, and now he's already returned with the follow up 11. I'm the first to admit that I didn't listen too much to the debut album when it came, but when it comes to 11 it's a different story. Here we get Speed Dial 7 doing his thing with collaborators such as Pip Skid, Elissa P, Nomad, Marcus Graap and Skratch Bastid. And I really like it. Both the productions and the vocalists hold their own on every track, and even though the beats are varied it feels like a focused album, and it all comes together very nicely in an album to be proud of. The official release for this album is April 19. Until then I think you should check out his earlier material and gives this Belgian artist the credit he deserves. You can also expect an interview with him here in the future.
