Rumor has it they met at a bar, hit it off, and have been making sweet, sweet music ever since. While blending genres is far from novel, few work as well as the give-and-take between hip-hop and indie. Whether it's A$AP Rocky jumping on with Lykke Li, Danny Brown inviting Purity Ring, or MGMT and Ratatat appearing on the same Kid Cudi cut, never has there been such an attractive musical coupling.
