Kristoff Krane

Add Date: February 15 

Artist: Kristoff Krane 

Album: Picking Flowers Next to Roadkill 

Label: Self-released 

Genre: Hip hop 

Comments: Old-school hip hop from Twin Cities MC Kristoff Krane, formerly of Abzorbr and Face Candy. Picking Flowers Next to Roadkill features guestwork from the likes of P.O.S., Eyedea and Atmosphere's Slug, but that doesn't hide the terrific rapping of Krane and the jazzy, funky, '90s-style production of Strange Matter.

For fans of A Tribe Called Quest, Digable Planets and Things Fall Apart-era Roots. Daytime DJs, check out "Dream"; late-night folks, try "Don't Mean a Thing" (featuring P.O.S.) and "Work" (with Slug).
