In the new album Romano Hip Hop (first regular CD of Gipsy.cz project) you can find rapper's resentfulness, Romany musicality and knowledge of finesse of pop skill. Thus the new album brings the energetic synthesis of everything, which the talented musician with his co-players experienced and went through on their way through music and life. Gipsy gradually find their own soapbox, new sound and space, which they remelt into the souped-up album.

"We want to set the sound! But I know that there are several people abroad, who make something similar. But we are original in leaving more space for the real traditional music and at the same time we are still in hip-hop..." - says Gipsy about the new sound of his project and at the same time he answers, how the Romanies react to that - "Old Romanies welcome the new album, since it contains the verses, which are not already used. The whole album brushes up something, which most young Romanies today even do not know. We play traditionally, although in modern manner. These are the procedures we set. And here we have the advantage of "traditionality."

Title song Romano Hip Hop was chosen as a "Song of the year" by readers of Czech music magazine Filter. The introductory composition of the CD Romano Hip Hop has been in the first song of the official Czech radio chart IFPI in April 2007 and also appeared in the sales chart IFPI (8th position). – absolutely best postions ever reached by world music singer or band in Czech Republic.
