A collaboration of anticon and cLOUDDEAD singer, lyricist, rapper producer Why? (aka Yoni Wolf) and singer, turntabalist, guitarist Andrew Broder, aka Fog released in 2003 via Lex Records.

Combining elements of rap, folk and indie, the two men have created a suberb thinking man’s melodic hip hop record. Songs range from the happy pop like chorus of ’21st Century Pop Song’ and the minimal sadness of ‘Lightning Bolts and Man Hands’.

I just blew 60 bucks on the vinyl...I havent even stopped to think if that is ridiculous or not, and I probably never will. Not until im in my mid 30s and living in my parents house with an indecently sized beer belly. I'll probably have a beard by then, too. worth it!

I'd never heard of Fog before I got into Hymie's Basement, but i'm a huge Yoni Wolf fan. I think Hymie's Basement is one of his best projects.

Considering that Yoni was writing with Andrew Broder, I don't know if I'd call this Why?'s lyrics. 21st Pop Song is pretty good, but its obvious that Broders pervasive lyrics are fairly integral to the songs. Anyway, cLOUDDEAD is better.
