Ever since 8 years ago, Mush has been a major springboard for (avant-) hip-hop artists looking to gain recognition. While having allowed Dose-One, Aesop Rock, Busdriver and even Radioinactive meet a larger audience, they also nursed a whole congregation of beatsmiths: Boom Bip, Jel, Odd Nosdam, Fat Jon, Thavius Beck, The Opus, etc. Adding up now is the San Francisco producing duo of Kingston & Young God; the former being somewhat noticed for contributions to MCs Jus' Allah/Virtuoso albums... Together they drop a double-LP to keep everyone happy: one vocal and one instrumental; each surprisingly consistent on its own, although different in concept. While the instrumentals should satisfy anyone *cough* slightly let down by Shadow's latest, the other's rather sparse and straightforward, to fit the MCs styles and delivery. Thing is, they're both very well done - so well that you keep waiting for something to completely fuck 'em up. In short: download, listen, discover, buy if necessary (two discs for the price of one can be quite a bargain, after all), and keep an eye on these guys. Oh, and on Mush too...
