British rapper/producer/artist Tricky


Ph. Joseph Cultice

If you haven't heard of him (you're missing out!), his music is an interesting mix of hip-hop, electronica, whatever you want to call it... if you like Portishead, Massive Attack, etc. you'll probably like his stuff. He has collaborated with the likes of Grace Jones, Björk, PJ Harvey, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Alison Goldfrapp. He's been going strong since the '90s and released a new album called, "Knowle West Boy".

my favorite tricky song is overcome from maxinquaye

youtube

i just love the moody, almost creepy, shadowy vibe it has...

[Gincat]

One of my top five favorites forever. Karma for starting the thread!

I actually haven't heard a lot from him, but love Evolution Revolution Love and the ft. Portishead Hell is around the corner. Truly great, he has a good voice.

I keep listening to "Past Mistake" off Knowle West Boy over and over. It's a great song.

He's also in that movie "Clean" with Maggie Cheung, playing himself though I don't recall that he sings in it. It's a good movie in general; I highly recommend it.
