Right now I am rocking out to the awesomely talented Josh Garrels. We went to the "Spirit of Christmas" at TWU and he was playing a live set in the Atrium and he definitely outclassed the Western Fiddlers who played before him. In fact he pretty much not only destroyed them, but he also blew minds, mine included. The man is a mix of folk music and folk rap, which is awesome. Last year when I got my first K-os album I became fascinated by the concept of melodic rap and especially folk rap (artists like Matt Kearney), but then that kind of faded out of view until the other night when I heard Josh Garrels and the man is pretty much the embodiment of the folk-rap genre. go check him out and prepare to have your mind blown. Also check out the folk-rap genre because although it is madly underrepresented, it is one of the hardcore sweetest genres out there. because folk music rocks, and melodic rap rocks, and together they rock madly.
