Reworking the classic Carpenters song 'Only Just Begun'
into a hip hop hook isn't the easiest task, but duo
Example & Rusher have managed to continue their blueprint
of feel good songs with the infectious single, 'So Many
Road'. Featuring a big poptastic chorus isn't exactly
something we've come to expect with rap û especially UK
rap. But then Example wouldn't want to fit in with
stereotypes.
"I'm a pop artist. I'm not underground hip hop and I don't
want to be. I wanna be the act that, when people turn
round and ask you who you like, you say, "I like The
Killers, Arctic Monkeys, The Streets, Jay-Zà and that guy
Example. The one on the end who you think you shouldn't
like because I'm UK hip hop. The one on the end of the
list that you can't stop yourself liking".
Example's an anthemic live favourite - it was only a
matter of time before 'So Many Roads' was released. The
demo version of the track was pressed on limited vinyl
(1000 copies only). When it sold out almost instantly - an
unsigned Example, and a savvy Mike Skinner who later
signed the young rapper to his label, The Beats û knew
they were onto a good thing.The single will be released
ahead of debut album 'What We Made', in September and
looks set to certify that Example is definitely not
someone you should or even could ignore.
