a similar trick was performed by Burzum, who has been in the hut since the 90's. he got out of jail last year and came out with one of the best, weirdest and most authentic black metal albums of 2010. speaking of prison, Gucci Mane released about ten million mixtapes this year plus an album. good on ya mate. the final Afrirampo album is probably their best, a grand finale in every sense. much less experimental than their previous work and much more rock-oriented. they're going out on the top of their game.
i'll be posting a mixtape or two highlighting some of this music soon.
