Street Sweeper Social Scene

If Barack Obama rapped (assuming he can rap, and no, not just because he is black)for Rage Against the Machine, you would be listening to something very similar to Street Sweeper Social Scene. The group, who writes self-proclaimed "revolutionary party tunes," is comprised of Rage Against the Machine Guitarist Tom Morello, and the Coup's rapper Boots Riley. The two combine to write some genuinely funky and politically aware jams that are very easy to groove too. No, there are no ground breaking hooks, or life altering creations in sound. But it is refreshingly original for some reason. If you're looking for some new music to check out they are worth a listen.

Check em out below.



Just in case I even NEED to say this. They are NOWHERE near as good as Rage against the Machine. I reiterate. Just something new and fun to listen to.
