“Another act that could come under the broad “alternative hip-hop” umbrella is Awol One & Factor, the emcee/producer duo (respectively) who impressed many with 2007’s underground hit Only Death Can Kill You and who in a few weeks will release the follow up, Owl Hours on Fake Four Inc.

It’s a really diverse album that sometimes strays from straight up hip-hop — it will appeal to you if you don’t mind your hip-hop taking off into other territories. The eleven track album features several guests, including Aesop Rock, Myka 9, Xzibit, and Tash and Eswift of Tha Alkaholiks. Awol One & Factor will be playing together in Los Angeles at The Knitting Factory on July 19th.”
