The synth-saturated melodies of '80s new wave are the unlikely but fruitful template for this hip-hop duo's clever tracks. Perhaps even more surprising--and welcome--is that the pair doesn't count on that jig to hold our interest; these raps are as red-blooded and visceral as they are cerebral.
With the release of the uncompromising "Niggaz
and White Girlz," labelmates Kirby Dominant and Chris
Sinister unleash their thugged-out interpretation of
'80s and new wave music featuring DJ Icewater. Kirb
and Chris turn tracks from groups like The Cure, The
Smiths, Depeche Mode, B-52s, U2, and Gary Numan into a
non-stop soundtrack for New Wave Thuggin'.
