montana mountain

   I recently came across an artist on one of  these internet self promote music sites. You know the ones, which promise you fame and freedom as long as you use their press kits and widgets.
   Yeah, anyways. So this guy's name is Pablo Montana (don't know if it's real or a stage name) and the music that he creates is refreshingly enjoyable. He's listed as a blues musician, but it's more like blues-rap. Infusions of wu-tang clan and pink floyd run rampant all throughout his tracks, and as far as "rap" goes, his lyrics are fairly clean (though he says the "n" word again and again).
   One of his songs has the ditty title of "the assassination of Michael Jackson" rips the beat from "beat it" and let's face it, who hasn't? I must say that Montana's version works. It's crisply mixed with just a little bit of Michael-quincy style magic.
   There's also a cover of a system of a down song which sounds like it was done completely a'Capella.
And my favorite is a song called "mommy" which is the closest thing to real jazz, it's a sad tale told through the instrument of the mind of Montana.
  Nowadays, when the subject matter of most rap that you hear on the radio makes you question how hip-hop has survived so long on a steady diet of crap, Pablo Montana is a refreshing look at what urban music can and should be, peace.
