Hermit And The Recluse - Orpheus vs. The Sirens

Score: 8.0 

Hermit and the Recluse is a collaborative project between producer Animoss and retired underground rap legend Ka, and it surely stands on its own in the plethora of contemporary hip hop. The ten short tracks that build it are based on Greek mythology euphemisms and metaphors, all sleepily retold by the rapper's amazing sense of flow and narrative and carved up with relentlessly lo-fi and low-key beats, arrangements and samples. Orpheus vs. The Sirens is an admirable rap construction, as well as a hidden gem in today's music.
