One Self, on the other hand, offers a truly prescient -- and playful -- vision of the shape of hip-hop to come. Composed of Russian underground guru DJ Vadim, Swiss-born vocalist Yarah Bravo, and Blu Rum 13 (Kid Koala's go-to MC), One Self rings in with a tightly woven, intercontinental ménage à trois.Vadim keeps things minimal, the space between beats yielding an undeniable funkiness. Sinuous, syncopated guitar and a bucketful of bells and whistles (the common thread between One Self and PPP? Cowbell!) thumps up against slinky, digital daydreams while Blu Rum's scruffy baritone tangoes with Bravo's stoned-out, sing-song flow. Their abstract musings on life, love, and hip-hop -- and accepting the realities of each -- arrest the ear with both content and delivery. Weird and headnotic, One Self is the sound of tomorrow's underground today.
