      I
      flipped
      my
      wig
      after
      hearing
      this
     
     
      CD.
      Really,
      its
      true.
      For
      all
      you
     
     
      unbelievers,
      Josh
      is
      a
      hip-hop
     
     
      hippy,
      and
      he
      was
      recently
      signed
     
     
      to
      the
      prestigious
      label
      Anticon
     
     
      Records.
      “Big
      Mouths,”
     
     
      “Outlook,”
      and
      “La
      Rambla”
      are
     
     
      three
      of
      the
      neatest
      tunes
      preserved
     
     
      on
      a
      slab
      of
      plastic.
      The
      Hali
     
     
      Hundred
      is
      a
      limited
      release,

      you’re
      not
      going

      it
      in

      anywhere
      around
