A Classier Version of Poppy Hip Hop...
...does exist and is embodied by the unique style of Kheaven Brereton, aka K-OS (pronounced chaos). This album is catchy enough to rock out to, yet sophisticated to the point where you don't feel covered in MTV's splooge after taking your headphones off.
K-OS features musical styling as diverse as his own upbringing. Raised by Jehovah's Witnesses and growing up between Toronto and Trinidad (in Africa?), his songs have an old-school feel which include reggae and electronic beats. His first album Exit went on to win the 2003 International Album of the Year at the Source Awards. Atlantis - Hymns for Disco is K-OS's third album and while it may not be new (2006), its probably new to you.
Either way, this album makes me think of drinking on the beach. Always a good way to get through Easter weekend. Enjoy!
