Theophilus London is a hip hop artist (though his music transverses several genres and sounds not limited to hip hop) that I came across a while ago while looking through some Kid Cudi and had him cited a similar sound and at first just by hearing his voice you'd think he was a "carbon copy" as some described him but the more I listened to his various mixtapes and albums the more I saw the differences between the two and where Theophilus dare I say it, surpassed Cudi in some musical aspects and diversity.The first of his songs that I heard "I Stand Alone" caught me off guard from the way the song started off was composed in a way that completely shook my initial suspicion of just another rap song right away as I continued to listen to the lyrics and actual depth. While he is completely capable of creating straight rap (which he does from time to time) his variety is also what further deepened my interest as some songs wouldn't even feature a a distinct hip hop beat and instead featured a tropical-latin sound featuring various guitars and tropical style vocals. Theophilus could be described as a jack of all trades that
was master of all.
Here's a few songs:
