Album Review: A Tribe Called Red - We Are The Halluci Nation

On their latest release, A Tribe Called Red project their dance-beats-with-traditional-instrumentation routine in a more global direction, presumably to elucidate the universality of music, if not the extent of their friends list.

Colombian singer Lido Pimienta shines on The Light. He almost makes you want to try learning Spanish. OKA check-in on behalf of Australia on Maima Koopa. Finally, Yasiin Bey (aka Mos Def) sounds ageless as he spits fire on R.E.D. The beats can be a bit too annoyingly trendy sometimes, and the album would've benefited from more tracks with rapping on them. Nevertheless this is definitely a step in the right direction for the Canadians.
