Today is a happy day. Why? Today marks the release of Epik High’s sixth album. Named [e].
[e] consists of 30 tracks split between 2 cd’s on an album that comes with a book also. I have already pre-ordered my copy and am extremely exited to be receiving it! (Hopefully sooner than later)!
Epik High’s album will be consistent of what they’ve been producing but the tracks are fresh, tranquil, catchy, and oozing with creativity and experimentation. This music I find truly inspirational.
If you have been a long running fan of Epik High you will probably be anticipating this album as much as I am.
For those new to Epik High (tsk tsk!) they are an underground hip hop group known for their excellent skills in rapping and producing music that is not the kind of black gangsta wannabe rap that revolves around “hoes & hookers & homies & cash”. Their music although containing rap is often lyrically deep and thoughtful, the words are motivational and the voices are comfortable to the ear. Not only are the beats catchy, Epik High’s music also likes the use of keyboard-Piano, Guitar & Violin. A mixture of instruments, this music is never old, never cliche, never the same and never boring.
For brand new listeners I recommend some of Epik High’s more mainstream music for starters; we’ll start easy and if you like them you’ll find exploring their music an extremely rewarding experience.
