Beat Assailant

Beat Assailant (born Adam Turner, Atlanta, 1977) is an American musical artist known for fusing hip-hop with jazz, funk, and other musical genres, which Celeste Rhoads of Allmusic writes "push the boundaries of hip-hop".[1] Rain or Shine, a song off his 2012 album B, is featured in a commercial for the 2013 Nissan Juke.[2]

Biography

Originally from Atlanta, Turner moved to Paris, where he recorded Hard Twelve, produced by Dany Wild ("Max"). Afterward he began experimenting with a big band format. He spent much of 2007 and 2008 on the road with a nine-piece band, with which he recorded Imperial Pressure. Discordance said the album was of great class, and mixed hip-hop, jazz, rock, and electronic music in an intelligent manner.[3] His third album, Rhyme Space Continuum, was praised for its "vocal acrobatics".[4]
