Came across this immensely talented group in YouTube. I think they are called the Yogi B and Natchatiras.
Personally I am no big fan of Rap/Hip-hop music, though I'm compelled to listen to it (a lot of it) in my friend's car stereo. I know Eminem from The Black Eyed Peas. That is as much as my initiation goes. I particularly dislike the generous dosage of profanities (most times, those are the only words I can make out).
Still, the Natchatiras impress me with their sheer innovation(for Tamil music); a new sound. The blending of 1980's Ilaiyaraaja's Madai Thiranthu with hip-hop rhythms has been executed well.
A must-see... a must-buy (I wonder if I can get my hands on their album, here in Australia. Anyone with info here??? )
Time whizzes by and I, I write of glimpses I steal

Hey. Stumbled upon your blog. These guys are making us Malaysian so proud. Couldn't help myself promoting them a lil' bit more. =) Visit www.vallavan.com.my. Also, read more about them. This article was featured in a Malaysian newspaper.

I am not a fan of hiphop, but this album got me hooked ever since I listened to Madai Thirunthe. The songs are being played to death everyday on our indian airways and the album is getting a very good recognition among the Malaysian Indians.
these guys are crazy...i actually ran into them in malaysia while i was there on vacation.....these guys are very talented and have potential.....they are in a group named fat&black....i hope you guys go big one day!!!:D:D
