He's pulled UK shows last minute more times than not. Voodoo Black are meant to be supporting though & they're great. Quote

Probably give track 15 a miss though... Quote

Members SuperBacon Posted September 3, 2022 Members Posted September 3, 2022 Bit quiet over the last few months but this is what I've been listening to past few weeks. Roc Marciano - The Elephant Mans Bones Produced entirely by Alchemist, this is probably my favourite album of the year so far. Roc is just such a vivid rapper, and really fits Alchemists productions throughout. It's very much in the style of the last few years, but he has crucially found his drum packs again (but not on all tracks) Think this is my favourite off it, but the Action Bronson feature is nice as well. Declaime - In The Beginning Vol 2 Madlib on the boards. Sounds like it could've come out on Fondle Em/Stones Throw in the late 90s (not a bad thing) and the production is obviously spot on. Declaime is a fairly unremarkable rapper, but very listenable and has a great flow. If you like Madlib (why wouldn't you?) or 90s independent rap, I'm fairly certain you'll enjoy this. Madlib has another album out with LMD (which is LMNO, MED and Declaime) and whilst I haven't heard that yet, I can imagine it's very similar based on those names. Domo Genesis - Intros, Outros and Interludes Evidence is behind this one, and very much kills it. Again, its that style of loops and no drums on most tracks, but Domo fits is very well. There is a great collection of rappers out there who I wouldn't class as independent or underground (think billy woods, Pink Siifu, Elucid, Navy Blue) that are all doing great things and this lad can be added to those. Rap is in a very healthy place at the moment in my opinion. Speaking of Navy Blue, he features on my favourite track off the album. And finally, been absolutely rinsing this track recently. Everyone smashes their verse, and for me, the best Just Blaze beat of all time. Love this as well, when he was at a Sixers game. Everyone absolutely goes for it. Anyone else got any new listening recommendations? Quote

I liked the production, but I'll be honest, Black Thought mostly does very little for me. Technically, he's obviously an incredible rapper, and I love The Roots, but I dunno, I always feel really unmoved by him, and that it's all very mechanical and robotic. This is solely the last couple of years as I like I say, I love his group work. That production though. Phwoar. More DM in rap please. Quote
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted September 3, 2022 Author Moderators Posted September 3, 2022 I watched this and thought it was quite enjoyable: It's a documentary about the making of his most recent album. I don't like him or his music, but this was a fun watch. I thought it might make me like the album but actually it's still pretty uninspired stuff. Shame. Quote
Paid Members Dead Mike Posted October 7, 2022 Paid Members Posted October 7, 2022 Manchester on a Saturday is a winner. Saw their last show in London and it was fantastic (albeit poorly attended). The 2 songs they've released from Marlowe 3 have both been great. Quote
wordsfromlee Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 Apparently Marlowe III will feature Romesh Ranganathan who’s also going to be at the London show. These Melli Music guys seem to be big British stand up fans. Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted October 27, 2022 Members Posted October 27, 2022 Never seen this before. I've always wanted to try a St Ides/40. I bet they're disgusting but as a hip hop fan I feel I must drink one before I die. Quote
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted October 28, 2022 Paid Members Posted October 28, 2022 New track from Busta Rhymes, Conway and BIG DADDY KANE! Kane’s always the coolest fucker in the room. Even at 54. Quote
wordsfromlee Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 I've been rinsing the new Loyle Carner album this week. Really great stuff. And also, Marlowe III came out yesterday and it's brilliant as expected. L'Orange is one of my favourite producers around at the minute. Quote
