Looks like there's a yet another new(ish) cat on the scene scrambling to take J Dilla's place... and this one might actually have a chance. With his moody, ambient hip-hop beats, LA-based
Flying Lotus has definitely caught my ear... and also that of the good folks over at
Adult Swim; you might recognize some of Lotus' beats from their commercials. Pop in his latest CD
Los Angeles (his debut album,
1983, is also worth a spin) for a chill evening spent thinking about the past, with an eye toward the future.
