Streetlight Manifesto.
Everyone has been listening to these guys lately. Are they that good?
If you like any kind of punk then give them a shot. They are technically part of the dying ska-punk genre, but they really are so much more than that. They are really a combination of ska, punk, hardcore, jazz, and reggae. If you want to get into them, look at their latest album, Somewhere in the Between. Here's a link to get the first song from the album, We Will Fall Together:

The name of the mixtape and its subject matter makes me so uncomfortable, especially being a white guy that is listening to this. I suppose that Nas intended to make people uncomfortable with this effort. Hopefully he has some kind of impact and makes people think about the N word and what it has become. Regardless, AWESOME mixtape, and I'll probably buy it if it ever hits CD form.
