Recording information: Sony Music Studios, New York, NY. On this 2005 album, Israeli jazz violinist Miri Ben-Ari reinvents herself as a funky, rap-loving performer. While such a career move might initially seem perplexing, it makes perfect sense when considering hip-hop's love of dramatic, string-heavy backing music. Those expecting an all-out rap album should take note--although THE HIP-HOP VIOLINIST features an army of guest stars (including Kanye West, John Legend, Anthony Hamilton, and Akon), Ben-Ari's expressive, Middle-Eastern-inflected violin runs remain the focus of the record.   Compilation Appearances Get Lifted Get Lifted (DualDisc) Get Lifted Live At The House Of Blues(w/ Bonus DVD) King Of Kings Kings Of Kings:armageddeon Edition(w/ Bonus DVD) Aventura Kings Of Bachata Live From Aventura Kings Of Bachata Live From(w/ Bonus DVD)   Technical Info Release Date : 09/20/2005 Original Release Date : 2005 Catalog ID : 0005243 Label : Universal Records (USA) Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00602498841297
