Um, you might take a moment and look at some hip-hop artists. Cause your 
kinda missing what your looking for... Also there are people like Scott 
Heron... its out there guys.

Labels like Anticon and Def Jux are helping to blur the lines between race 
and computers and beats, granted its not microsound, but it makes use 
similar production values and techs. Also look into choclate industries and 
Metatronix.

Shit, someone posted some really fun stuff on this list a bit ago called 
"GehttoGlitch" that is both african american and a female, did anyone even 
bother to listen to that stuff??? Its really good.

And just remeber this thread is about "Laptop Music" so just keep in mind a 
lot of people are using laptops for all sorts of things not just microsound, 
come on guys if you want microsound to grow you gotta get involed in other 
forms of music as well.
