Eminem Inspires Peace Amid Grammy Awards 'Best Rap Album' Win: Harry Koisser Hypes 'More Rhyming' After New Album 'Happy People' Release
Detroit emcee Eminem now has a total of 15 Grammy Awards - the infamous "Rap God" snagged "Best Rap Album" (again) during Sunday evening's ceremony (February 8) for the success of his critically-acclaimed eighth studio release, MMLP2. Shady's next step - inspiring Peace.
Well, sort of...
Harry Koisser, frontman of the English indie rock band Peace, hopes to emulate the hard-hitting "Berzerk" rapper in the near future. In a recent interview with NME, the singer explains:
"The next album needs more Eminem on it, where the rhyming is just on form... The punctuation, the pattern and just lyrically it's be like Eminem. I've never gone there before, but I think I could do it."
Oh, and also add a little legendary dose of Led Zeppelin:
"I want to write something like 'Stairway To Heaven' - not too much but just really mind-blowing. It's not too much of an odyssey, just really on point lyrically and musically."
But if anything, a viral hit single would work just fine:
"Not a song to define a generation but a song to define a species. Something mind-blowing that's just like 'shit, that's so hot.' Actually, no! The next 'Uptown Funk'! Too hot. "
For now, the Worcester natives remain focused on the recent release of their follow-up album, Happy People. New music just hit airwaves on Monday (February 9). The band's debut record In Love rocked the underground scene back in 2013. Some fans found their sound a bit too retro at-the-time:
"We were being compared to all these bands I'd never heard of," Koisser reveals. "But I also spend so much of my time thinking about what was better. Does it even matter? It's actually in the past. Why do we care so much?"
Let's see what happens this time around. Peace is currently touring the UK - get more info here.
