Much in the same vein as The Grey Album or even Jaydiohead, comes something born of a land far away, that I'm pretty amped to dose you with this morning. Similarly, we've still got Jay-Z in tow, but the backing beats and bellows come courtesy of something a little less expected.


Inspired by Indian cinema of the 70's and Jay-Z's critically acclaimed concept album, American Gangster, Music Without Borders brings us the passionate tale of a Mumbai hustler's sordid lifestyle on the extremely impressive and immediately repeated listening-worthy, Hindustani Gangster.

Through the culmination of Jay's great story, and sounds that range from Bollywood to Bhangra, via heavy emotive melodies and basslines, MWB has crafted a piece that is intended for true music connoisseurs. And yeah, I got this late last week, but I was so super selfish with it all weekend, with the intent of placing big ol' grins on your Monday morning mugs.
