Old school aerosol artist, graffiti master, experimental hip hop visionary, Req has been tagged by others almost as many times as he's tagged himself. Attempts to pigeonhole either his art or his music, however, are consistently confounded by his innate ability to go off at a tangent. Even as a fledgling graffiti artist he was considered rather avant garde by his peers and this independent attitude is equally evident in his music. Reqs latest album is Car Paint Scheme, a collection of outstanding warm, dubby Req gems. After releasing two albums for Skint, One (1997) and Frequency Jams (1998) Car Paint Scheme is Req's second album for Warp, following Sketchbook in 2002.
