Just bought all the tracks from the Battlestar America album I found during that on-a-whim iTunes search yesterday. It's country hip-hop! How can you not love this? (Some of the political statements in the 30-second samples make me wince, but still predicting I'll find the music more bouncable than not.)

I think I'll enjoy it even beyond the novelty factor. Even though hip-hop is one of the few musical genres that I flat-out state I don't like, I actually do like a lot of its technical stylings. What I can't stand is the lyrical attitude of popular hip-hop: song after song of aggressively paranoid, egomaniacal ranting. Completely insane and utterly disgusting, to me. So, I happily seek out & reward those who take the techniques in new directions.
