Views on hip-hop are quite steeply polarised. Either you happily embrace and stroll with a moderate-to-excessive swagger, or you bemoan the “gangsta sh*t” and cower at youths rocking hoodies. Listen/detest.
I don’t disagree with either, though arguably one side of the story may be more fundamentally flawed more than the other. I won’t go into that now, but I’m not hinting at the detesters.
Anyhow, since almost every hiphop artist in existence sold out to the mainstream and spoilt our music channels, there hasn’t been too much considered content, or quality, or booming from the ghettoblasters.
However.. I can’t express in how high regard I hold CYNE. Ask my last.fm.

Four members; two producer and two emcees, their music is a modern, personal and ultimately original take on the real essence of the genre. Glorious to my soundwave.
Talented poets and musicians, hiphop is just a medium.
Without further ado, ladies and gentleman, please welcome to the stage…
