Artist Spotlight: The Triads

On tap for today's edition of Artist Spotlight, we head down to Greensboro, North Carolina and uncover the hip-hop infused sounds of The Triads. The trio is mainly comprised of Deen Garba, James Black, and Shaheen Lashani. The trio has an electronic, alternative hip-hop based frame of mind that echoes the influences of Kid Cudi and B.o.B. with an pure, eclectic sound that represents the band's musical mission clearly and cohesively without drowning out the lyricism too much with the electro arrangements providing a nice backdrop. Now, while I don't listen to hip-hop a great deal, there is something to be desired from the trio's ability to weave inane and catchy hooks that are infused within the instrumental backdrops that create a weave of rhythm and echo that runs rampant through a particularly fast span of time, and within that time frame, you'll have developed an impression of the band and how they can make an impact on your life. A great upstart act that I would love to see gain more attention in the months to come. Some tracks for you to have a listen at include: "We Got It Wrong" (f/ St. Lucia) and "Insomniac".
