Kool Keith, Dan The Automator, DJ Qbert, and a bit of Deltron 3030.
Dr. Octagon – Moosebumps: An Exploration Into Modern Day Horripilation
Czarface & MF Doom – Czarface Meets Metal Face
Gensu Dean & Wise Intelligent – Game of Death
Good old simple and awesome rap. Great beats, great flow.
Dälek – Endangered Philosophies
Just the experimental hiphop that you would expect from Dälek.
Wiley – Godfather
Grime like it’s… grime. Vibe, flow, beats, bass, rhymes. No annoying shit, all good shit.
Bracken – High Passes
Diverse electronic music on hiphop speed, with mostly broken beats, basslines, wondering and moody melodies. Could say it’s triphop.
Run the Jewels – Run the Jewels 3
Excellent and exceptional hiphop and electronic music. Blast. Listen on repeat. No questions asked.
Letherette – Where Have All The People Gone?
Hiphopish, glitchy, brainfeederish, ninjatuney. Not foreground music, not dancefloor music. Background thing but not at all elevator music.
Moodymann – DJ-Kicks
Hugely satisfying and absolutely relaxed mix of tracks through the hiphop-soul-groovy-nujazz axis. This is why I listen to good selections like the DJ Kicks or Late Night Tales releases in the first place. I mean not the specific genre but the top-notch selection.
Danny Brown – Atrocity Exhibition
This is insanely good hiphop. And this album is probably the best hiphop record I heard so far this year. And the track Tell Me What I Don’t Know is a super smash hit. Straightforward sentences, true things.
