Sean Price — Boom Bye Yeah Video
This has been out for awhile but D.L. Chanlder dug me out of
hip-hop ignorance the other day and everyone else I know
seems to have already become hip to Sean Price’s style.
Boom Bye Yeah is about 1/3 electro production with a slinking
synth setting the whole thing alfame before Sean spews
sentences so memorable you don’t need his name as the Chorus
to remember this one.
Nuevo, Kronos Quartet
Matt sent me this one last night.
Truly amazing takes on traditional Latin American
melodies including El Llorar. Kronos brings them to
life by giving each piece an urgency similar to Michael Nyman’s work
only with a Latin flair. Perhaps the most enjoyable album
I’ve heard so far this year.
