UK repress - "On his debut solo album, Hi-Teknology, Cincinnati producer Hi-Tek brings together some of hip-hop's most innovative lyricists to complete his multilayered musical collages. Hi-Tek made his name producing for [Black Star](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ts/artist-glance/183510/$%7B0%7D) and [Reflection Eternal](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004XQXB/$%7B0%7D), creating impressive tracks that were always as complex as the rhymes that [Mos Def](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ts/artist-glance/65896/$%7B0%7D) and [Talib Kweli](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ts/artist-glance/181654/$%7B0%7D) rhymed over them. On Hi-Teknology, however, he's not limited to the range of just two MCs, and each track is fashioned to custom fit the artists featured. "The Sun God," featuring [Common](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ts/artist-glance/82456/$%7B0%7D) and Vinia Mojica, is a musical composition that is nothing short of perfect. Common is at his poetic best, telling a moving story over Hi-Tek's soulful production, which blends unidentifiable sounds to create an atmosphere that has a mysterious story of its own. "Breakin' Bread" is an archetypal hip-hop track with a hazy flute sample that gives the song a jazzy feel. And the funky production on the risqué "L.T.A.H.," featuring [Slum Village](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ts/artist-glance/208391/$%7B0%7D), will transport listeners to the '70s. With Hi-Teknology, Hi-Tek secures his place among the great producers by bringing serious musicianship to hip-hop production and creating a truly satisfying album."
