MH-248 K-The-I??? - Broken Love Letter  With a booming voice, an indestructible wall of beats, and a lifetime of girl problems, K-The-I??? brings forth a cure for the jaded hip-hop head in the form of his Mush debut, Broken Love Letter. The album's sonic discord, which is reminiscent of the heavy production hand of NMS, the dark industrial blend of Dalek, and the Blade Runner inspired work of El-P, seeks out uninhabited inches in your brain until there's no vacancy left. K-The-I??? unmercifully dissects his interaction with women with every conceivable emotion; anger, sadness, envy, lust, longing, and confusion all make an appearance. His stern command of the mic and effortless flow coupled with the dense instrumentals and backing tracks make for a fresh sound that personifies a progression of the form and marks another success in the career of K-The-I???. |

| Highly enjoyable - Aiding & Abetting / A solid swig of hip-hop on the fringes - Insomniac / Creative, individual and worth your attention - Music-versity / Much hungrier than his peers and manages to eat up the competition – Color / Think: Bomb Squad producing cLOUDDEAD - XLR8R |

| One of the strangest hip-hop records ever. Broken Love Letter isn't an album so much as traumatized by relationship problems. k-the-i???'s creepily obsessive digs at the fairer sex are spit in a manic-panic state, his pained urgency negating any sense of familiar flow. His literally off-beat style is distinctive, but it's an acquired taste. Much better is the music, which juxtaposes subliminal snippets of easy listening with the sort of chaotically teeming, cacophonous funk that makes El-P's joints sound like P.M. Dawn. Think: Bomb Squad producing cLOUDDEAD, with a romantic loser on the mic. - XLR8R |
