About this artist

Enoch Kwadwo Boachie-Ansah (born December 28) , known professionally as Guillotine Bars is a Rapper, Songwriter & Record Producer. Influenced by 90s Hip-hop/Boombap he started writing when he was 10 years old. His style of production is considered dark and gritty. His style is reminiscent of East Coast hip-hop of the 20th century, bringing back boom-bap of golden age hip-hop and old school hip-hop. He frequently uses sampling in his hip-hop instrumentals. His music is also influenced by jazz, however he's made many records with jazzy loops. Hip hop is simultaneously a new and old phenomenon; the importance of sampling tracks, beats, and basslines from old records to the art form means that much of the culture has revolved around the idea of updating classic recordings, attitudes, and experiences for the modern audience. Sampling older culture and reusing it in a new context or a new format is called "flipping" in hip hop culture. Hip hop music follows in the footsteps of earlier African-American rooted and Latino musical genres such as blues, jazz, rag-time, funk, salsa and disco to become one of the most practiced genres worldwide.
