Archetype

Label: None
Genre: Rap

If you listen to the critics (and who doesn't?), this is Kanye West's year. If Archetype have it their way, all eyes will be on their native Lawrence, Kansas, not Chicago's South Side, in 2005. They're starting their takeover by offering better than half of their music for download, so take advantage while the getting's good. Nezbeat's refreshingly ecclectic mix of samples (from opera to gospel) and tempos (from old school breaks to drum 'n' bass) along with I.D.'s unflinching flow won't keep them on the fringe for long. Note: This isn't the metal band of the same name that you'll see if you search on Amazon or Insound (so, just this once, ignore those links and go to the artists' site for purchase information).
