What's The Science? and DJ K.O. on CNET!! Download "Higher" and "Someday" Feat. Talib Kweli


What happens when a world-renowned jazz visionary teams up with a passionate, thought-provoking emcee with a love for true hip-hop?

The answer is another question…What's The Science?

Lil Sci (John Robinson) and Carlos Nino’s hip-hop/ jazz-fusion also channels elements of soul and electronica to create a truly unique and eclectic sound. "WTS is a direct tribute to the early 90's Elektra records," says Lil Sci. "At that time, Elektra Records was signing acts like Pete Rock and CL Smooth, Brand Nubian, and launched the whole era of, conscious, thought-provoking music that made it cool to be an intellectual. It was the emergence of hip hop as a culture that young people could embrace and relate to."

With plans to reignite the passion and positivity that seems to have eluded hip-hop in recent years, What's The Science? is set to release their full-length album, Elevation on September 23.

The New Jersey native known as DJ KO (Keenan Ornsby) has teamed up with Shaman Work Recordings to release the best hip-hop compilation to come out in years.

Picture This matches a seemingly endless roster of hip-hop's hottest MC's with an equally impressive group of producers. The result is a tribute to hip-hop's past, present, and future.

Veterans like Diamond D, OC, Masta Ace, and Ed OG bring back the past, while lyricists like Talib Kweli, Elzhi (Slum Village), Phonte (Little Brother) and Royce da 5'9 represent today's hottest performers, and newbies like Skyzoo, Kaze, Superstition, Silent Knight and Tiffany Paige set the bar for what's to come. Featuring tracks produced by Black Milk, Buckwild, Analogic, 9th Wonder and M-Phazes (to name a few) the album definitely has something for everyone.
