“As a genre this record is obviously difficult to classify. Certainly hip hop plays a big role – the lyricism and stylistic technique is present, as are the cultural references and the swagger – but other influences are nearly as dominant. Disco and soul play huge parts, and so does late-sixties-era electric jazz of Davis and Hancock. The ambient electronic music of Kraftwerk and Brian Eno can also be heard. Just as evident as the influences is the certainty that this is something entirely knew and unheard of, something that might even not have a name yet. So I’ll call it like I see it: this is evolution. Check it and be amazed.”
