Sheffield's hip-hop family probably didn't know what had hit when Jamaica born Franz Von turned up but it's good news as he's just announced his debut solo album is going to be release this year, 'Take What You Want' with the single, 'We Live' released today!
The single, 'We Live' features another Sheffield resident, singer/songwriter wolf peaches (yes, she of 'Rotten Fingers' with the Kerrier Collective - see review HERE) and combines elements of post-dancehall-dub-poetry jazz fusion (Von also MCs for TC & The Groove Family) and Afro-fusion K.O.G (see HERE).
As he's also collaborated with Onipa, corto.alto (so good at last year's We Out Here Festival), Wiyaala and Afro-beat legend Tony Allen so who knows what the album is going to be like?
