SOLOMON & SOCALLED
Hiphopkhasene
(Piranha/ Fusion III)

Local polymath Socalled has been perfecting his strange combination of hip hop and klezmer for several years now, and in this, a collaboration with U.K. DJ and violinist Solomon, it's reached a pretty amazing culmination of a khasene, an East European wedding, the two disassemble and reconstruct Jewish music by means both audacious and hilarious.  Featuring appearances by all-stars David Krakauer Michael Alpert (on the mic!), and Frank London, this is an oddly brilliant mutation of Jewish music.
