He's a poet turned rapper, so it's mostly hip-hop, this new album is quite rocky, but his lyrics are really inspired. He never does the "I'm going to speak so hard so no one can understand me because my lyrics are shit", never does the "I'm so amazing and great and everyone else is shit (except maybe three songs in total)" and he never does the "I have big cars and rings and lots of money" thing eaither.
Here are a couple of songs of his that I like, that give a good range of his sort of thing
- www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KnGNOiFll4 - Letters from God, to man.
- www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoN6XfyQsr4&feature=related - Thou Shalt Always Kill
- www.youtube.com/watch?v=VH9CxM6o-eI - Magician's Assistant
The new album is a lot more rocky though. I'm listening to it now so can't say weather I love it, with hip hop it takes me quite a few listens to know if I like it or not 'cus I can't always gather the lyrics the first time... but so far I'm enjoying it.

And yeah, more of a spoken word artist than a rapper. Thou Shalt Always Kill was a great record back in the day.
