One of Detroit's finest lyricists and in the rap game itself goes by the unconventional MC name of Elzhi. A beast on the mic, El slays the competition with a non-stop verbal barrage of metaphors, tricky wordplay and visual storytelling. If you're new to my dude, you can get a taste for free via the man himself. Releasing tomorrow for free download, The Leftovers Unmixedtape will hold you over 'til his 2010 project. His group, Slum Village is also dropping something. Their digital EP, Villa Manifesto releases next Tuesday, 12-15-09, but is streaming in its entirety on their myspace now. Make sure you check it out, and if you don't have The Preface (2008), check that too. Support hip hop NOT hip pop! UPDATE! Just dropped the news via his twitter.
