Starship Utopia

Cyne


BET, MTV, they kill the music, radio, and wannbe thugs, who kill the music, Rap City, TRL, y'all kill music, pipe dreams, kids on the block, they kill the music.... Wait... hold up, it's not dead.
This is the chorus to the first song on this short disk from Florida's Cyne (Cultivate Your New Experience), and it summarizes quite well their outlook on the state of hip-hop. It's definitely not dead, and it's through the work of artists like these that hip-hop is as interesting and vibrant as it ever has been.

Cyne has unique beats, and a unique voice. This is a collection of songs recorded over a three year period, and served as a nice warm-up to their newest album - 'Pretty Dark Things', which just replaced this in my car on the week-end.
