El Nova Hustle by P.I.C
hip-hop fused with swing, soul, jazz, Latin, etc.
read the review // buy the album on CDBaby, iTunes, Amazon, Napster, etc.
In case you're not aware, Matthew Pryor is probably one of my favorite rockstars so far. Reese Roper, Buddy Holly, and Bono also grace that list and possibly Rivers Cuomo. Such a lucrative title is not won on the merits of music alone, but how awesome I bet it would be to have a conversation with them someday.
But in terms of musical merits, might I direct you to his acoustic cover of "Hey Ya?" And while I'm talking about "Hey Ya," OutKast is the group that came to my brother's mind when I tried to describe to him P.I.C., whose album El Nova Hustle recently blew me away. For the record, they've got much more cool, early-twentieth swing and jazz carrying their brand of hip hop than OutKast does, but it's a bit difficult describing an amalgam you've never heard before. After losing them all to Matt and Isom, I think I created and recovered more than enough words to describe P.I.C. But maybe I should quit with the verbage. Just press play and let your feet (hips?) do the talking.
