Santogold, a.k.a. Santi White, of the Class of 1996, has been prepping her pyrotechnics for ten years and now she's blowing up Brooklyn, and she certainly promises to "deliver the explosion" to the rest of the U.S. before summer's end.

I don't presume to write a review here. I'm qualified and everything, sure, but I think Santogold's work speaks for itself. (And anyone who has an album produced by a member of Bad Brains is sufficiently awesome in my book.) But I'll at the very least provide a link to one of those somewhat overblown, but informative pieces of music writing:

Here's a reader teaser from the review: 

The lovechild of submarine sonar and low frequency midnight moans, Santogold was born somewhere between Bedstuy and Bushwick, Brooklyn and was placed under the care of enigmatic singer and songwriter Santi White. White's prior musical children have proved more profound than platinum. Songwriter and executive producer behind an album boasting top Billboard singles, and driving voice behind two albums from her uncategorizable band Stiffed, Santi White's familiarity with drawing relevant and enjoyable work from a range of influences makes her a unique figure on today’s musical landscape.
