Idris Elba Acts, Sings & Raps Oh My

On February 8th Idris Elba’s will release his newest project High Class Problems under his alterego Driis. Elba, who has been recording as Driis for a while now, worked with producers 9th Wonder behind the boards of his new album. From Listening to two of the tracks that were leaked "Rise Up" and "Private Garden" I was pleasantly surprised. He's no Robin Thicke but his sound make me think of Sean Paul (rugged yet sexy lyrics) Meets Floetry (London Accent & singing & rapping), that type of vibe. It's not hip hop, It's not Reggae, It's not Rap its a combination of different musical influences from his life and that's what I like most about it.
