A nice tune to carry.

With it's ticklish entry, and ascant backround beats, even Nyghs first two tracks make you go hmmm... Suddenly trumpets blare through your head and you're at a completely different place. The music skips along and by the fourth track you realize that each and every song is going to be different than what you expect. Without warning, my feet begin to move of their own violation and I can't really sort out which beat I'm following. Then some 60's detective tv show's voice over drones in, eventually droning back out and into the voice of Nygh. Some awesome rythm's follow, along with some interesting back and forth action with my speakers. From then I spiral on, every now and then bumping into some random inturlude that might have a deeper meaning that I can't unravel, until I slam face first into some ruefulish lyrics by Ben Stiller. Atfer walloping through some political hurdles, I plungle through my last few seconds before the end of the CD, landing squarly in the middle of some kind of chant, probably to tie it all up or something.
Overall I rate Nygh's album, Circling Vulures, abso-extrinsic. Buy one, buy two; they make great gifts.

There isn't much more to say about this CD than to say it is pure dopeness. From beginning to end my head was noddin' and shakin', noddin' at the beats and rhymes, and shakin' at the naysayers who think Hip-Hop is dead. According to Nygh's Circling Vultures, Hip-Hop is alive and well. Good job homie

instrumental hiphop that demands focus.

Cricling Vultures is that mess. it's one of the few instrumental hip-hop records that is difficult to ignore. you know hpw you do with fat jon, or bonobo or blockhead, shit, or even my stuff. press play, call a brizzle, spark some'm, open a text, etc.
generally, at best, instrumental hip-hop is gorgeous background noise. nygh's record is not for your corners, it's on some upfront, finger pushing in your neck shit. midnight in a perfect world has nothing to do with dude's record, and that's a good thing, oddly enough.
the sequencing is solid as hell, the movement is good money, top to bottom. also, the shit BANGS. the mix is profuckingfessional.
most importantly though, these are songs. not beats, songs. the difference between two slices of french bread and a hoagie that could save your life on the right day in the wrong summer.
if you dig music that's a little more angry than it is confident, with some stifflegged drum progging, this shit is for you.
favorite tracks: A Love Gone Wrong, When I Met You, Improvise.
great job homie.
