Upcoming Artist: Are And Be - Up So High (2011)


Today I bring you a hip-hop duo Are And Be. I found them patrolling the many up-and-coming rap acts on Last.FM (which btw, you should all have by now. I owe almost 90% of my library to Last.FM). Based out of Los Angeles, Abe Thelonious and Lucky Benjamin compose this talented group. In all seriousness, these guys are pretty good, a real good find. Their lyrics are really consistent, and on some tracks they go completely off. Big upside.

This sounds very similar to what you would expect out of the new West Coast artists nowadays, but also contains a little throwback feel to it. The beats on this are pretty hot, showing a wide range from piano samples, vocalists, and everything in between. Hope to see a lot more material out of these cats in the future.

Check below for a FREE album link, provided by the artists' themselves. Check out the streams on their bandcamp page if you ain't convinced (even though you should be).
