Allen Mask

Since the age of MySpace, compound subgenres are run of the mill, rarely jumping off a webpage. Emo/Novelty/Slide Guitar? Ok. Punk/Classical/Pop? Sure. But more often than not, any sort of self-labeling is either far off base or meant purely for entertainment purposes. When Allen Mask, describes his own sound as electro organic hip-hop, however, he is quite right. On his debut solo album, Pilot Season, Mask flawlessly blends hip-hop with a perfect touch of jazz and alternative rock.
