the music presented here is more irreverent and intentionally local than the posts preceding, but celebratory and gripping nonetheless. the raytown hustlas hail from my hometown high school, and their cd lay dormant in some basement flip folder until i resucitated it a few years back, finding bounce & ballin'ness. trill-a-g is better than federline certainly, but imminently more self aware. if art can be post-post-modern, music can be faux-faux-gangsta, which is, perhaps, the most proper genre assessment for the hustlas.

electropeasant will continue with gems from further afield in its next installment. i just want to rep something that i heard about but hasn't been in the news at all.. an ohio farm share coopreative, the manna storehouse, was raided without reason by fully armed swat team members, their assets, equipment and food raided, and still no reason was given. more here.
