Sam Sure and Giacomo are a hip hop group from Kent in the south east of England. They realised a 8 track e.p called 'The Fresh Air e.p' in 2003. Record label description- 'Adopting an honest back to basics approach, Sam Sure and Giacomo have produced a debut that reminds us all of what’s great about hip-hop. Stripping away the pretensions that are so evident in today’s scene, the main aim, right from the start, was not to release another moody, egotistical hip-hop record. Forming a natural partnership based on melodic composition, coupled with the art of storytelling, the instantly recognisable sound of Giacomo’s beats blends perfectly with Sam’s lyrics, which reflect his life in England. Staying true and breaking away from the increasing number of artists that feel the world owes them a living, Sam Sure keeps his rhymes balanced between metaphoric and straight up narrative, while Giacomo’s classic tight production takes us back to the golden years of floor filling American hip-hop.' Currently the duo are playing a more musically eclectic set with live drummer and guitar/vocalist. Their new work, or though heavily hip hop influenced, has a wider and more cross genre sound. Taking influence from folk, jazz and electronic music.
