KuzTunes pick 5: Typical Cats

What's up guys? This week I'm coming to you with a new flavor: some nice underground hip-hop. Now, most people who know me know that I usually don't like hip-hop and rap, mostly because of the shitty lyrics in today's popular music. But every once in a while, I can find some that I can dig, and every once in a blue moon, I can find a hip-hop group that I cant stop listening to. This past week, my friends, the moon was blue.

The only thing I can really find out about them is that they're from Chicago. And I guess thats really all you need to know.

Don't ask me how I found them, I actually don't even really remember myself. Probably just my endless youtube-ing late at night...

Combining a fantastic flow and even more fantastic beats, these guys know what they're doing. When you listen closer, you can see how incredibly simple the beats are, yet as soon as you turn it on, you cant help but start to bob your head. Try not to, I dare you.

Each beat usually is just some simple but tight, in the pocket drum beat with some nice jazzy leads over it. The song I'm going to show you has an awesome jazzy guitar providing a great canvas for some truly intelligent lyrics.

So, guys here you go, this is "Typical Cats" with the song "Cliche."
