Taco Hemingway Essentials

Taco Hemingway makes hip-hop as adventurous as his stage name suggests. Like the revered American novelist he homages, the MC (real name Filip Szcześniak) tells stories informed by his travels around the world: born in Cairo, he’s since lived in China, the UK and Warsaw, soaking up the musical cultures of each place for his own melting pot experiments. Tracks like “Dele” find him scatter-gunning captivating rhymes over sleek electronic melodies, while “Chodź” shows his darker side: over window-rattling bass, the intensity rises as Hemingway brings a fast flow dripping in swagger.
