Simply the best at what they do.
 
Not since the arrival of OutKast has a group been so skilled at creating original, musical hip-hop that still holds down street credibility without trying to go with the trends.  Blestenation, made up of rappers Werdplay and Various, and producer/DJ FAFU, is  a hip-hop group that combines dark sarcasm, outrageous humor and jeep-bumping beats to create an original vision of where hip-hop needs to be going to grow as a movement.
 
Created in New York City, the home of hip-hop, Blestenation dares you to enter their mythical world of Mbugout City, where shadowy figures lurk in deep clouds of herb smoke, involved in late-nite urban misadventures.  Bleste takes up where Cypress Hill left off in terms of giving the audience a comic book to read with their music, but goes much deeper.  BlesteNation spits its own brand of slang, clear to its initiates, obscure to most nagging parents.  And the Blestenation sound, though its has been compared to Eminem, Cypress Hill, and OutKast, is a fat, crunchy construction of its own unique design.
 
Even though Blestenation's members are fiends of the laboratory, they pack a mesmerizing psychadelic live show that is dynamic and inventive.  It is a dark circus of guests including a violinist, affiliated mc's and singers.  A Bleste show is one of the few events where breakdancing is going down right next to slam dancing and stage diving.  Gems for the skate-punk and b-boy alike, Blestenation is dragging hip-hop kicking and screaming into the future.
