This 63-piece orchestra from Los Angeles answers the age-old question: What would the songs of Gang Starr and the Roots sound like with strings, woodwinds and French horns?
reepus in a-minor -- what an amazing live show -- the two tracks here give you nearly an hour's worth and the momentum doesn't flag for a moment. wish i was there, you know?
As cliche as it sounds, Dakah takes hip-hop to a whole new level. All acoustic instruments playing styles from hip-hop to soul to jazz to drum and bass to afro-cuban and a great many badass turntable solo features on top of fat beats and a rich orchestral texture not to mention the superb emcees rhyming on here. If nothing else, spare a song for the 41 minute "Reepus in A Minor - Movement 2"...greatest single track download on eMusic.
