The group I'll be talking about is one I've known for a while and first got my attention by its mixing of genres and incorporating techniques uncharacteristic to their core genre, Cyne is a hip hop group who's songs and lyrics are marked with activism and interrogation of society and its present state, addressing present issues as well as music for music's sake, for the joy of making music and appreciating it instead of using it to achieve fame and fortune. I always enjoy music that addresses some type of situation in society or carries some kind of message other than their bank accounts, yet the first time you hear one of their songs it's not the lyrics you directly divert your attention to, it's the music itself; the very first song I heard started with a the use of a guitar that was reminiscent of some old guitar style that brought you in and held you until the beat came in and intrigued you until some strong vocals came in and took you away to listen to the rest where you would find deeper lyrical meaning and confirm that it was indeed a hip hop song that just hit all levels of a good song from meaning to technique.  I personally enjoyed the incorporation of instruments such as guitar into a genre that normally doesn't use many other instruments and achieving a balance between the two melodies that is guitar and vocalist without sounding as if they're competing for the lead but instead sharing it.
