THE MYSTERIOUS & EXTREMELY CLEVER RIG 1 HAVE STARTED TO COME OUT OF THE SHADOWS




Most Definitely One Of My Favorite Albums Of The Year Belongs To RIG 1 Who Released "Above The Tree Line West Of The Periodic" In October Are Out On The Road Right Now Opening For
CONOR OBERST AND THE MYSTIC VALLEY BAND Who Also Released One Of The TOP 4 Albums Of The Year - Most Of The History Surrounding RIG 1 Is Still Being Kept In The Darkest Parts Of The Ocean, But There Are A Few Pictures Of The Band That Were Just Posted On The RIG 1 Myspace Site.

The Debut Album Which Came Out On
TEAM LOVE RECORDS Puts A Whole New
Spin On Hip-Hop / Indie-Hop / ETC.

It Is Definitely Experimental, But In The Best Way Possible & The Music Covers Every Spectrum One Could Imagine On A Debut Album.. The Most Important Thing For A Hip-Hop Production Is Obviously The MC And The Words..

The Brains Of RIG 1 Is A Brilliant Lyricist, Poet & Is Full Of Knowledge On Many Subjects Including Geomotria, Cell Biology, Timothy Leary & Other Clever Takes On Science, The Past, Present & Future.

The Album Starts With The Devastating Opening Track"Dawn Of The Tinman" & The Narrator Wastes No Time Spitting A Fire That Is All His Own.. It Will Always Be Tough For White Rappers To Get Away From The Eminem Comparison, But My Girl Heard Me Listen To The Album At Least 10 Times Over Before She Questioned The Voice She Had Started Singing Along With, Ultimately Asking, "He Isn't White, Is He??!" I Wouldn't Call Her A Hip Hop Aficionado, But She Was Able To Pick Out A Banjo From The Beautiful & Complex Chorus Constructed By One The Best Producers In Music..
