Da HipHop Raskalz are the freshest crew on th' block, composed of East Harlem grade-school students, ages 5 - 10. The kids write the lyrics and sing and rap, play all the instruments and program the drums. They be spittin' flows about dealin with the harsh realities of learning fractions [mp3], playing with dinosaurs [mp3], and above all, gettin' that candy! [mp3] They've been featured on NPR and reviewed by the Montreal Mirror. Their first album drops on the 19th.

These are great, thanks - much odder than I thought they'd be. Love the dada simplicity of the lyrics, and that fractions song reminds me of a Burroughs/Gysin cut-up collage.

sorry some are incomplete: the sessions can be pretty chaotic
