It’s about time–and we’re sorry that this may be late news for some of you: Tricky is back with the Ununiform LP and a new video! The iconic and influential pioneering UK (Bristol) trip hop artist, described as “Europe’s alternative choice in the second half of the ’90s” is currently based in Berlin. Emerging from the realms of Bristol sound systems and Massive Attack, where he rapped in the acclaimed debut album, Blue Lines, Tricky has left his permanent mark on alternative electronic music and the trip hop genre.
