New Hip Hop Music and Albums

These are albums that are on my radar that should be on yours if you consider yourself a fan of good music

Lupe Fiasco long awaited junior album LASERS, is a banger. All songs are in constant rotation but specifically. He hits you with a message in every song. He is definitely more mature in his raps than most if not all rappers out here to date.  His delivery is impeccable and I can say I’ve had the pleasure of seeing him live and he knows how to rock a crowd. Instant classic, I can listen to this from start to finish without out skipping. I just wish it was more songs on it.

Favorite Tracks

• All Black Everything
• Words I never said
• Beautiful Lasers (2 Way)

 

Pac Div (aka Pacific Division) has a new mixtape Mania (2011) that gives you that classic Cali flow, nice bass and beats, and a touch of comedy within head bobbing lyrics of men in there 20’s just trying to succeed in life. I’ll be seeing these dudes later this month live and am looking forward to it

Favorite Tracks

• Take Me High
• Saved
• The Mirror

 

Stalley’s Lincoln Way Nights-Intelligent Trunk Music,  is quite impressionable. I didn’t know anything about this dude before listening to it and it has more than a few tracks on it that I can feel and are thought provoking. I’m riding to this and I’ll be keeping an ear out for some more of his work.

Favorite Tracks:

• She Hates The Bass
• The Night
• Go On

 

Chip Tha Ripper is killing the mixtape game right now. The Cleveland Show was the shit and This new one Gift Raps is a good follow up. With tracks produced by” the Cool Kid’s” Mickey Rocks. It definitely has the hard beats with some simple yet clever lyrics that just get you amped or make you laugh. He may never get the national play cause he doesnt make radio music but regionally he is a good look for hip hop and he just raps about how most black dudes feel or think.

Favorite Tracks:

• Light One Up
• LIFE
• Everyday Chilling

 

North Carolina’s Kooley High is continue a tradition of smooth, thoughtful hip hop coming out of that state. Their New Album Eastern Standard Time is a good introduction for people who don’t know there work as individual artist or as a collective. I didn’t know who they were two months ago but I’m interested in them now, they make good music.

Favorite Tracks:

• Float On
• Pedals
• Rae Intro

 

If you have a chance chick out these recommendations. Support good hip hop and good music.

Gilles Peterson Radio Show A Must Hear Event

To give you a brief history on how I got introduced to such great music. My roommate in Cusco, Santi worked with this Australian guy Sam who has traveled all over the world and listens to everything. He told Santi that Gilles Peterson radio show was the best show in the world to hear trend-setting music from all over the world that you probably wont hear anywhere else. Santi eventually told me and I tried I listened. I want to say it was a little over a year ago. It just so happened to be an episode with Andreya Triana as a guest dropping two tracks- Lost Where I belong and Town Called Obsolete ( I eventually bought the album the day it came out and love it). But from that episode I was hooked.

I must say its one of the few things that I look forward to every week; Tuesday nights (could be Wednesday morning depending on where in the world you live; his broadcast our from London, UK).

I’ve listened for a year now and its only been one episode where  I was scratching my head like what the fuck am I listening too.  Other than that every episode has been on point. I say that because I’m listening to it now and he’s played music from Japan, Canada, Nigeria, UK, U.S., and various places and it all blends together so well. It’s all fresh and funky.

I don’t personally hear this on my local radio and know I never will. He’s probably put me on to 100+ new artist in the past year. I love music like never before because of his selections.

Check him out, you can listen to his most recent episode for 7 days on what is called the Iplayer  http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00yyd4f#synopsis

This dude has saved me from passing out at my desk at work, kept me motivated to do some work, and knows how to rock a party (even a party of 1).
