Kacy Wiggins (a.k.a. qpe)

Today’s artist is brought to you by The Agriculture. qpe, which is short for “quiet personal electronics,” lives up to his adequately suited moniker. His gently swaying, dub influenced tunes give the listener a great sense of calm and placidity as they hear easy-going hip hop beats float on by. Some people would call this genre of music chillout, others might call it ambient, but qpe has labeled it with his own term: hip hop nouveau. Whatever you call it, it’s nice and smoothe with enough subtle complexity thrown into it to make it a bit better than mere background music.
