Live on Radio K feat. songs What Up Man/Black Mags & Check Me Out. Laid back but nimble rhymesayas. Is "fresh" overused? These cats legit.

The Cool Kids tracks, "Mikey Rocks" and "88". Retro experimental beats and nice rhymes. The new, black Beastie Boys...

Here's a talented multi-instrumentalist and song smith, subdued vocals with well crafted lyrics, and a professional whistler ta boot. Comfort music. A wealth of links here: The WNYC solo performance kicks ass.

Wilco (Live)

brilliant band - talented, laden with originality and verve, laid back in their alt-country tradition - recorded at Washington, D.C.'s 9:30 Club Feb, 27th, 2008

Hollywood Holt

Hollywood Holt's video for "Put a Kit On It" has been blowing up on YouTube. If you dig the Cool Kids, then you should definitely check out Hollywood Holt. Also from Chicago, Holt collides the retro-minimalist beats (a la the Cool Kids) with more contemporary anthems, creating some of the most interesting party bangers and thick beats around.

CopperShot

With a smooth flow and innovative, often politically laced, lyrics, CopperShot delivers tight hip hop over jazz and retro style samples. Never Stand Still w/ psalm one is a stand out track.

Typical Cats

dexterd — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 16:47:32 -0600

Underground Hip Hop genre bender: smooth vocal delivery, creative lyrically. They're not afraid to deviate from traditional rap lyrical topics without completely eschewing them.
