Suave Debonair is a documentarian of the doldrums. He observes the ordinary and regurgitates it with an energetic burp of witticism and insight that makes other rapper sour. Whether waxing lyrical on the IT guy from your office, or preaching the sacrament of the scratch card, Suave hits the mark with a deft lyrical flourish and a killer chorus. The laconic ying to Suave’s yabbermouth yang is producer ‘Naïve’. As a producer, ‘Naïve’ has been crafting a breathtaking spectrum of beats for his compadre and partner, Suave. From firecracker tangos to piano-punctuated head bangers, ‘Naïve’ has created incredible beats that provide the foundation for Suave’s vibrant verses. With a head for heights and a stomach for hangovers, Suave Debonair is striding toward the limelight. A born performer and a talented MC with something to say.
