Shur-I-Kan third full-length “The Humble Bees Project” is a hip-hop/beats side project. Apparently he’s produced an album for UK rapper Hkb Finn (who MCs on a few of the songs alongside Ty) last year, but it’s still a pleasant surprise to hear him change styles with success. It is very much in tune with classic jazzy hip-hop a la Guru or last weeks Jazz Liberatorz. So if you like your beats jazzy, go for it. It’s a solid album with a few good headnodders, it’s not trying to redefine hip-hop like the nuschool LA people, but it’s standing against further degeneration by keeping the tradition alive
