1. DJ SHADOW f. KEAK DA SNEAK and TURF TALK, "3 FREAKS"
The List has always reserved a place in its heart for artists who are not only willing to risk alienating their audiences but seem to actually relish the opportunity. A decade after his atmospheric masterpiece of sampling, Endtroducing, DJ Shadow makes an unlikely return with a stone-cold hip-hop track that features two leading proponents of the Bay Area's "hyphy" scene. A sort of northern counterpart to the elemental brand of Atlanta hip hop perfected by Lil Jon, it intermittently recalls Ludacris, but with wildly out-there production values. Think of it as avant-crunk. (http://www.djshadow.com)
