RJD2
b. Ramble John Krohn, 27 May 1976, Eugene, Oregon, USA. Adopting a Star Wars-derived bastardisation of his own name, originally given to him in childhood and which he admits to hating, hip-hop artist RjD2 deftly bends, pitches and manipulates samples appropriated from grunge-rock, mid-60s psych-pop, rare groove, funk horn and even avant garde contemporary classical music into soulful, predominantly instrumental, hip-hop. Although Krohn is a proficient, battle-winning DJ, he describes his "playing out" as simply research for further studio-based experimentation.
