Culturama mastermind Peter Agoston turns his attentions toward the world of hip-hop to offer a forward looking glimpse at some of the most cutting edge acts in the underground hip-hop scene. In the past they've exposed such acclaimed artists as MF Doom, 2Mex, and Madlib, and now AWOL One is back on the scene to showcase such white-hot up and coming acts as The Shape Shifters, Busdriver, Kutmasta Kurt, Radioinactive, and Fat Hed Feat. Hip-hop fans certainly won't be able to find these edgy artists on the radio, and once they've taken a listen to an AWOL One collection there truly is no turning back.
