简介: Fresh off the stage at Coachella, Lafa Taylor has returned with the release of Not One Thing. After an eight-year hiatus, the producer/MC is more polished, hilarious, and irreverent than ever. Lafa is a truly talented DIY artist who produces, sings and raps his all-original tracks. This album is a seamless and masterful integration of elements from hip-hop, RnB, and electronic bass music.
A genre-blending creative force whose sound is rooted in positive hip-hop and gritty rap, Lafa has molded a soundscape to create an album that details his growth and evolution as an artist. He employs creative rhythms, witty humor, and uplifting content. Lafa is no stranger to the heavy lifting it takes to craft a hit record, having co-produced and been featured on an album for reggae group DEF TECH that later went platinum in Japan.
As a result, the producer/MC was offered a deal with Universal Japan, which he turned down, in order to hone his craft and skills. Taking time off afforded the Lafa the opportunity to explore and expand his comfort zone. Not One Thing is essentially that; a bass heavy experiment with intricate lyrics that can’t be easily described as simply one style.
Not One Thing, is the project that amalgamates the sounds and diverse lyricism Lafa is known for. He maintains the glitchy, dance-floor pounding sound known to keep heads rocking throughout the album while staying true to traditional hip-hop and classic RnB vocal elements. Lafa Taylor is the new-era sound master of creating hip-hop with unbelievable nuance and detail to lyricism and progressive beats.
While many artists develop a sound that sticks with them, Lafa is determined to step outside of his typical ability. His rap skills have been refined to reflect his love and tenacity for life and hip-hop music, while producing his own tracks allows for creative freedom. The vigor put into this project parallels the incredible raw energy and style that he takes to the stage. Boasting tracks like the dance heavy “Click Tick Drop,” the hometown anthem “Eugene”, or Lafa's personal favorite, a collaboration with Russ Liquid, "Now Is All We Have", Not One Thing has something for everyone.

Lafa Taylor is a singer, songwriter and producer from Eugune, Oregon who currently resides in Oakland, California. His style is best described as unique and futuristic with tinges of the bass-heavy hip-hop you love. A detailed oriented artist, each track on “Not One Thing” is hand-polished with Lafa’s signature feel-good vibrations. Some tracks were born from his love of house music, others from life’s experiences.
