Beans - Down by Law

← Previous : Dub Guerilla - The Curse ||| Next : Rocky Marsiano

(from 2004’s down by law EP)

well look at this man, how can you resist him now? He’s one of the elitest MCs and the talk of the town nowadays. Original lyricist (personified fresh?!) somewhere along the lines of Sage or Saul Williams but with less political commentary, he is one of the icons of the non-mtv electronic hiphop scene. (He’s originally from the Antipop Consortium if you didn’t know). Rugged, bass-heavy hiphop, and damn , this song is soooo catchy as well !!
