Felt - Early Mornin' Tony

Is a video by two of the most popular underground hip hop artists of the time. Murs from the group Living Legends, and Slug from the group atmosphere have joined forces to put out an album, that can break down the color barriers of hip hop music. The video is edited to show the two protagonists going through a typical day in a comic book cartoon like story. Together they make the audience believers in their lyrics and musical integrity.

It seems like mainstream hip hop is dead or, at least, turning into a parody of itself. Still, there are artists like Sage Francis, Mos Def, and Talib Kweli (and the blog example) around to give hope to the genre.

The best example of an artist that gives hope to people is J-Dilla. He had a mini studio set up in the hospital room the last few weeks of his life. To have that kind of passion, is what I call giving hope to the genre.
