Indigo Child (album)
''Indigo Child'' is the debut mixtape by American singer Raury. It was released for free on August 25, 2014, by Columbia Records. Critical reception Scott Simpson of ''Exclaim!'' commented about Raury's musicianship throughout the mixtape, "His ideas may be undercooked, and his lyrics youthful if not outright immature, but he has a masterful command of his sound, even if it can't be defined just yet", concluding that an executive producer should be able to direct his raw artistry in the right direction. ''Pitchfork'' writer Corbin Goble called it "a perfect introduction to Raury's style-sampling aesthetic, as well as the blizzard of sometimes-undercooked ideas he brings on the table", concluding that "Overall, ''Indigo Child'' is an intriguing blueprint for Raury's talent, and watching Raury continue to put it all together going forward will definitely prove fascinating."

Alternative Hip Hop
Alternative hip hop (also known as alternative rap) is a subgenre of hip hop music that encompasses a wide range of styles that are not typically identified as mainstream. AllMusic defines it as comprising " hip hop groups that refuse to conform to any of the traditional stereotypes of rap, such as gangsta, bass, hardcore, and party rap. Instead, they blur genres drawing equally from funk and pop/rock, as well as jazz, soul, reggae, and even folk." Alternative hip hop developed in the late 1980s and experienced a degree of mainstream recognition during the early-to-mid 1990s. While some groups such as Arrested Development and The Fugees managed to achieve commercial success before breaking up, many alternative rap acts tend to be embraced by alternative rock listeners other than hip-hop or pop audiences. The commercial and cultural momentum was impeded by the then -also emerging, significantly harder-edged West Coast gangsta rap. A resurgence came about in the late 19 ...
