I first heard of these guys when I was browsing some guys blog and he posted a video of their "new" single.
The song is like a breath of fresh air for Hip Hop. There are so many people complaining that Hip Hop is dead but then they're just letting the talented artists go unheard whilst they're supporting Lil' Wayne... What the f*ck is up with that?
In August, these guys released the "Stranger EP". Although it only had 5 songs on it, after the first listen I was in awe. The production is fantastic. It's like a fusion of Jazz, Funk and Hip Hop - think of The Roots with more focus on the Jazz side of the music. Something very different from all this generic Hip Hop music. And to top all that off, Newsense and Logic rip the mics up. The EP is available on the iTunes music store for £3.95(GBP). It is also available on Amazon.com.
Then in April of this year, they released their first full length album. Unfortunately, the LP included all of the songs that were already released on the EP. But either way, the album was another amazing release. This can also be found on different websites that sell underground releases.
So check them out now. You can easily find them on myspace and youtube.
