I've never written anything on here before about hip-hop, but I wanted to mention an album which recently came out that blends elements of the genre and electronic music.
Kno, the producer of the popular underground hip-hop trio, CunninLynguists, released a solo album last week entitled Death Is Silent.
Unlike most top-40 rap material which is backed by electro-based melodies and basslines, Death Is Silent is more of an ambient/chillout hip-hop album. Some of the tracks have a definite downtempo feel to them; a refreshing departure from what we've come to expect from this genre in recent years.
