The other half of DPBD is Da Poet who is one of the most successful and productive MCs in Turkey. He is a producer, beatmaker and a rapper. After releasing multiple albums and collaborations he and Barış Demirel got together and started the DPBD project which flows between rap, hip hop, funk, lo-fi and dub. This unique collaboration between a rapper and a trumpet player is one tasteful musical event!

A gypsy violin, saxophone and clarinet converse with the melody accompanied by a tight, upbeat bass and drum section. Together they generate a sense of updated- global-urbanism and accurate synergy by diversity, a natural crossover of swing, funk, trippy psychedelic dub, classical music with flashes of the Mediterranean and African, Eastern European traditions as well as bebop, odd-rhythm and free-jazz.
