Hip To Be Square

A recent email I received reminded that there is a guy out there doing what only Gnarls Barkley and Andre 3000 wish they could produce. Andre 3000 has been looking for a way to change the rap sound. Don't get me wrong, I think Andre is in his own right doing his part to create a new and improved pop rap sound, but Straiht Wikid Crew from Muscatine, Iowa is in a whole new ball park. He mixes some of the weirdest sounds around and some how he comes away with a great tune. The young Hare Krishna (you heard me correctly) has his first album, Kali Yuga Demolition Vol. 1, available for purchase, here.

Here are a couple of tracks to wet your whistle (Dirty Dancin recommended):

Dirty Dancin
Columbo
Get on Down to the Beat


I think it's put perfectly on www.kaliyugademolition.com - "You will not enjoy the "Kali Yuga Demolition Vol. 1" CD if you're content with what is currently being played on the top 40 charts, if you want to get wicked crunk in 'da club' , or if you're expecting to hear harsh lyrics like Eminem's degradation of women.

If you're open minded to a new hip hop music style then you'll be happy with the "Kali Yuga Demolition Vol 1" CD."

And, if you havent picked up Phoneix's new album, It's Never Been Like That, you best get your self over to your local record shop and get that bad boy. Great album, epsecially for the summer. Great songs, each one. The album in general is a bit different then their previous albums. But it's still Phoenix with just a little less 80's.

I've got only one song for you below. I must be honest, when I first downloaded a few tracks from this album a little while back, they didn't stand to well on their own. But when put together on this album, it really comes alive. But if there is any track that will catch your ear, it's Rally.
