about

Archetype is known to many as one of the frontmen from cult classic Granville Sessions, plus a founding Moose Funk Squad member. Now, after 5 years in the making his debut album, The Zip Folder LP is ready for release.

Archetype called upon Granville Sessions MPC don Giuseppe 'Zippo' Falcone for a selection of samples. After some deliberation and delay these were then fully recreated with live instrumentation, played largely by Ed Koral (another Granville alumnus and multi-instrumentalist); plus the help of Berlin-based sax and trumpet players Christoph and Yannick.

Together, Archetype and Ed have managed to pull off the herculean task of creating nearly every instrumental from scratch, using Zippo's beats as a guide to replicate as faithfully as possible.

The result is an LP like no other, and a unique offering to the current Hip Hop landscape. It’s a project filled with heartfelt honest songwriting, bars in abundance and true vocal prowess throughout. The Broke Records stalwart has finally broke his silence with a future classic, cementing years of experience as both a writer and performer.
