Today's essential music: Manafest, a little white boy from Toronto, whose new CD, My Own Thing, is one of the better hiphop records I've heard this year, Christian or not, Canadian or not. Some very hot beats, guest shots and tight, tight lyricism. This guy is only twenty-two? Please. Mixing part of KJ-52 with part of Thousand Foot Krutch's Trevor McNevan's old flow, this kid is one to watch.
Two new releases from Pluto Records are forthcoming: an EP from Thirty Called Arson tentatively titled Anatomy of Electric, as well as a full-length from Beauty to Ashes called The Robotic Conversations. Expect these in the spring. Wheeee! [hxc]
Check out The Procussions, so no one can say you slept on Colorado's up-and-comers. You've been warned.
