Many of you may recognize the name Cut Chemist from the superb hip hop group Jurassic 5. He’s also worked with Ozomatli and ska band Less Than Jake. He recently came out with his first full-length album entitled The Audience’s Listening. The album is an amazing blend of samples and scratching taking you on a trip through some music you probably haven’t heard before. I really enjoy this album, and this song The Garden has some great samples in it. This isn’t rap, it is hip hop. For those who don’t know the difference, turn on the radio and listen to what’s being played. That is rap. This is hip hop, or at least one aspect of it. So give it a listen and check out this amazing album.
