After a decade of underground recognition, New York-based producer/lyricist has emerged since 1998 as the hip-hop scene's prime genius. Put him on the map, the all-star album put him over, and is the articulation of a musical vision. Whether it will pan out in the real future is another matter, but at least it stands a chance. Is a blender of sounds and styles and epitomizes the search that is leading cutting-edge hip-hop further into avant-garde and non-Western musical traditions.

'Airwave Hysteria' has a sweet Bollywood sample with a tight chorus broken up by some hypnotic scratching. The ring mod and time-stretched vocals on 'Planet 10' are reminiscent of a album. There's a number of good tracks, but a few stand out, particularly '5000 Miles,' where gets to display his lyrical skills ('I'm 5000 miles west/Of my future/Where's my floating car/My utopia') against fuzzed bass and organ figures. He gets props for entering the sci-fi realm without sounding like another carbon, although you might argue that it's simply more futurist than sci-fi per se. The most out track is 'I Feel Like 100 Dollars'; it would be difficult to create more chaos at a slower tempo, for sure. There's some nice Air-esque jamming on 'To the Moon's Contractor,' and the title track features a crunked funk dissection of contemporary ills via Nova Express.

Not so successful is the cut 'No. 1 St.,' which falls into all the pitfalls of trying too hard, with self-important rhyming. It's not often that album reviews name check Ezra Pound,, and, so buy this album. If hip-hop should have a tradition, then this is it -- experimentation.
