The Outsider

DJ Shadow

A restless collision of Bay Area hyphy, distorted blues, and indie rock. This is the sound of a pioneer intentionally dismantling his own legacy.

January 1, 2006 · Island Records

Find on Amazon

A confrontational and eclectic mix of high-energy street rap and somber, introspective guitar-driven soundscapes.
