  …l Natives with electronic pop. They swoosh down with synthesizers, then rise with bubbling, bright harmonic layers, concocting a fresh twist on an over-indulged (indie pop) style these days.

  …MP3 skipping? Oh wait, it’s just that crafty intro from Immortal Technique’s “Mistake.” Immortal spits a giant loogie on this track,making sure y’all hear him clearly, “When I was young / I got signed to a record label / The deal looked so good when it was on the table / it paid for my cable, cribs, cars, and jewelry / studios and women there ain’t nothing they wouldn’t do for me / except stop screwing me for publishing a…

  …” and made a fantastic hip hop song. This song is just another alternative of what GOOD POP hip hop can sound like. Indie meeting hip hop, is this the future? I hope so. The whole album is pretty fresh, and def. worth a listen. I mean, I’ll listen to any hip hop that starts “Kids idolize us / Mothers all despise us.” Yeah Mom, what?Fanfarlo: “Finish Line” Fanfarlo’s album, Reservior, is a promising debut…

  …ample is chopped and used in a fashion similar to Madlib. Driven by a simple drum pattern, the sample anchors the song. For a man with strong political expression, “It’s the” is void of lyrics, but not of hip hop soul. After listening to Charles Tree’s Myspace page, this track emphasizes a jazzy hip hop, whereas some of his other tracks experiment with electronic and scratching, sounding more like Prince Paul. Take a listen, try to rap over the …

• [SOTD] Paper Diamond’s “From Now Till…”
