Great things which no one's mentioned yet (probably because they're a
little older, but can't hurt to drum it in):
_Beneath the Surface_ comp
Produced by OD, w/Aceyalone & a boatload of other great MCs (to be reissued
on Celestial, so check their update post from last Monday-- a truly
excellent hip-hop label which also executes some shit-hot junglist
manoeuvres occasionally).
Dalek -- _Negro Necro Nekros_
On Gern Blandsten, weirdly enough. I think mis patrones Midheaven still
stock this ( http://www.midheaven.com ). Dark, twisted shit, loaded
w/sitars & distorted beats. Not entirely dissimilar in feel to the New
Kingdom/Truck Stop gang (who, if you haven't checked, you *must*)
I've really enjoyed the hell out of the last two Kool Keith joints, esp.
the underrated Dr. Dooom, but you can probably avoid the live experience
(the rapping was pretty on point, but the beats were barely there, & when
they were, you might as well've had an amplified bass drum in their place--
could've just been the acoustics at the Maritime Hall, though.
And most importantly, there's a new Mike Ladd album, _Welcome to the
Afterfuture_, due to hit the shops soon. Folks who say there's no great
hip-hop being made-- well, maybe they just stopped liking hip-hop!
