"Adrian Thaws (born January 27, 1968), better known as Tricky, is an English rapper and musician who is important in the trip-hop scene (despite loathing the tag) and remains influential on the british scene more generally.
He is noted for an asthmatic whispering lyrical style that is half-rapped, half-sung. As a producer and a musician he is known for having an aversion to perfection preferring to build up a dark, rich and layered sound. Culturally, Tricky bridges white and black Britain particularly in his fusion of rock and hip-hop, high art and pop culture. He drew his influences from rap (Public Enemy) to post-punk (he covered a Siouxsie and the Banshees’s song Tattoo)."

One of my favorite trip-hop records. Dark, but upbeat and consistent.
