Hip-hop takes me out of my comfort zone. As an unabashed rock fan, only the occasional hip-hop album will demand my attention. Even fewer inspire me to write about them. Archetype does. The beats and arrangements are full of life; not needlessly busy, yet not stark or cold. Paired with a vocal flow that would make your favorite MC jealous, Tonedeff’s missive is virtually flawless from front to back. Not as avant as the backpackers nor as elementary as Billboard’s Hot 100, Archetype is a fitting title.
