In my Feedback column in today’s C-VILLE, I spoke with Linz Prog and Hypothesis, the two dirt-biking, Robo-rhyme-dropping emcees behind local hip-hop act Reliable Narrators.
I enjoyed a short set by the Narrators earlier this year during the "Virginia Got Talent?" competition at the Albemarle County Office Building, which featured the songs "Dirt Bike" (listen below) and "Wildn Out." Hypothesis was kind enough to get in touch with me recently and point me in the direction of the Narrators’ free mixtape, The Best of Robot Musick. You can download the mixtape in its entirety, large and free of charge, here.
The pair is currently putting the finishing touches on a LP titled Tales From Space; this mixtape is your best introduction to the pair until the album drops. Leave your thoughts below.

Sidenote: For those of you who don’t watch the X Games on ESPN, "Dirt Bike" suggests Reliable Narrators are real authorities of that particular sport; they reference everything from the Metal Militia bike crew to moves like the Superman and switch-footed can-cans.
