专辑介绍
乐坛，古典与流行，传统与现代之间的界限有时已经不那么泾渭分明，许多具有创新精神的音乐家纷纷尝试将不同类型、不同风格的音乐融为一体，带给人们全新的听觉体验
被欧美乐坛称为“嘻哈乐小提琴家”的以色列少女米莉．本阿里就是这样一位具有创新意识的乐坛新秀。
这个颇具音乐灵感的女孩进行的最大胆的尝试，就是把“嘻哈乐”融入自己的音乐之中。
米莉出生在以色列特拉维夫附近的一个小镇上，很小的时候就开始接受古典音乐教育，由于家中生活并不富裕，昂贵的学费曾一度令米莉的父母难以负担。
幸运的是，凭借着出众的音乐才华，米莉获得了美国与以色列文化基金会的奖学金，随后，好运纷至沓来，她先是有幸与以色列知名乐团合作，随后又被美国的知名音乐人所发现。
如今，年纪轻轻的米莉已经在一系列重要的音乐盛会中演出，捧得数座音乐奖杯，同许多重量级音乐人进行合作，被无数乐迷追捧。
Besides the fact that she's just so gosh darn beautiful, the hip-hop community took to Miri Ben-Ari because of her spirited playing that perfectly fit songs like Twista's &Overnight Celebrity,& and in many ways it made them. Right from the title, The Hip-Hop Violinist relies too much on the gimmick of such a thing, and in the end comes off less satisfying than her jazz releases, which had more inspired tiles like Sahara and Temple of Beautiful instead of Female Israeli Jazz Violinist. Half of her guests can't help but dwell on her name, her beauty, and her quirky role in hip-hop, repeatedly giving props to her instead of offering anything substantial. Good news is Lil' Mo will have none of it, instead delivering the uplifting &Hold Your Head Up High& with a passion to which Miri's winding violin responds with spirit. &Chillin' in the Key of E& is intriguing Vivaldi meets Wes Montgomery meets hanging out downtown, and the Southern party anthem &4 Flat Tires& with Baby, Lil Wayne, and Six Shot makes up for a lot of filler. Hearing Doug E. Fresh's human beatbox accompany Ben-Ari's interpretive take on &Star Spangled Banner& is exciting and neither John Legend nor Kanye West damage their lofty status, but insights into Ben-Ari the artist are just too rare. Consider it a mixtape with Ben-Ari appearances and it's more hit than miss, but as thrilling and as fun as the album can be, you can't help but wish the unique voice on her earlier recordings was more center stage.
