Fresh HerbsBy Tamara PalmerPublished on November 24, 2008 at 5:00pmThe Herbaliser has long been a force in U.K. hip-hop. Led by Jake Wherry and Ollie Teeba, the group — which now includes vocalist Jessica Darling — explores its jazz-funk roots more prominently on its seventh studio album, Same as It Never Was.

Trombones perfectly envelop guest rapper Jean Grae on "Street Karma (A Cautionary Tale)," while the tuba and accordion take center stage with Canadian MC More or Les.
