FROM CMJ ISSUE #887

PETE MISER
Camouflage Is Relative (Coup De Grace)

It's rare for rappers to combine a talent for jazzy, laidback production (à la Native Tongues), a sense of humor and rants about Williamsburg's gentrification. But Oregon-born/Brooklyn-based Pete Miser successfully cuts his own funky path between old-school grooves and new-school concepts without sounding lost in the past? or preachy, pedantic and pretentious. Like a hip-hop Dalai Lama, Pete always finds the middle path between moving heads and moving feet, managing to get them both boppin' in the process.

ATTN: Daisy-agers, instinctive travelers on the paths of rhythm, leaders of the new... oh, you get it

KEY TRACKS: "So Sensitive," "Final," "About Time," "It Rains In New York Too"

OF NOTE: Pete Miser is the tour DJ for everyone's favorite Slim Shady sample source, Dido
