Trust Me Music (http://www.trustmemusic.com/issues/6/)
Styles collide with precision on this aesthetically innovative collaboration between Mos Def protoge Stalley and live production outfit Wax Machine. Stalley's delivery flows and weaves atop beats inspired by genres as disparate as funk and hard rock. Not the traditional made for radio pop/rock mashup, this collaboration has the potential to expand the musical mindsets of backpackers and those who are resigned to the theory that hip hop is dead outside of the Okayplayer sphere. Wax Machine beats sometimes carry the load, shining with a soulful and funky intensity, but the creativity and collaborative energy as a whole is always maintained. | | Type of Label | Major |
