A New White:Subtle

Title: A New White

Label: Lex

Genre: underground hip-hop/post-rock

Rating: 6.4 of 7

As hip-hop dives farther into the depths of the underground, sometimes accessibility will take a back seat for creativity and originality. There are very few acts that can suffice both categories. So how does Subtle, and underground hip-hop supergroup, beat the system? They take a proven underground mc and back him with an array of talented musicians that are obsessed with using completely original sounds to produce uncanny post-rock; now you have something original. Along with Doseone (cLOUDEAD, themselves), Jel, Dax and a slew of other like minded musicians make up the group. Doseone’s unclassifiable vocals are backed at anyone time with a combination of live and electronic drums, electric cello, 3 keyboards, 3 samplers and a guitar. The result is an original sound that fits cozily on Lex’s diverse roster, and is worth your attention.
