After spending a little time playing in the genre field of vaporwave, I wanted to come back to more familiar territory, even if still niche AF. Sci-Fi Hip Hop is a broader church than you may imagine, generally stemming from the same logic as the original space alien, Sun Ra. "How can I explain what it's like to be treated so differently by society?"

Anys, Sun Ra and his followers get plenty of time on this compilation, along with other old school heroes like Kool Keith of the Ultramagnetic MCs & Dr Octagon fame, Outkast, DJ Krush, Wu Tang, DJ Vadim, Beastie Boys, MC Solaar, DJ Shadow, Quannum, Anti-Pop Consortium, Roots Manuva, Latyrx, Shabazz Palaces, Warsawpack, The Isolationist, Nightmares of Wax, Wax Tailor, David Bowie, Tom Waits and Queen... whaaa?

Well, it is sci-fi....
