It's Dutch hip hop, but not in Dutch. In other respects too Mindstate, the surprising debut of this duo, sticks rather closely to its American examples. Their influences are Blackalicious, Talib Kweli and Common; all acts who are more interested in experiments than in bling bling. In Pete Philly & Perquisite these experiments result hip hop mixed with soul, jazz, classical music, psychedelica and broken beat, and Perquisite plays the cello.
