Here are the songs or albums that I have bought or downloaded (legally) that will be infused into my brain for November through December. A lot of music for these two months and December is not even over yet.
Full Albums:
Tha Dogg Pound – Dogg Food
Daz and Kurupt at their best with the hunger of two trading verses.
Fugees – The Score
At the time it seem that the Fugees came out of nowhere with a sound that was unique to the group.
Killarmy – Dirty Weaponry
Already featured on ESP and still one of the best Wu-affiliates.
Breez Evahflowin’ – Breez Deez Treez
Why did I wait so long to pick this up. Breez says it best, “I Failed”.
Kanye West – The College Dropout
“Two Words”.
Cunninlynguists – Strange Journey Volume Two [Deluxe Edition]
Cunninlynguists gives the second installment on their strange journey and I can’t wait for the next ride.
Madlib – Beat Konducta Vol. 3 & 4 In India
Madlib dives into the Indian music vault to mesmerize us with his beat smith abilities.
Madlib – Beat Konducta Vol. 5-6 A Tribute to...
We all know who this is a tribute to and Madlib definitely made the best one.
Killah Priest – Elizabeth (Introduction To The Psychic)
Killah Priest continues to put out quality music and this is one step closer for me to completing his catalog of music.
Del The Funky Homosapien & Tame One – Parallel Uni-Verses
The most unexpected matching of two of my favorite emcees that has become one of my favorite albums.
Rakim – The Seventh Seal
“Holy Are You”.
Proof – Searching For Jerry Garcia
Proof rhymes with B-Real and Method Man and holds his own which is not a small feat with those two.
Pitch Black – Pitch Black Law
DJ Premier blessed them with their lead single so I always wanted the whole album.
Slum Village – Prequel To A Classic
The Villa still can make hits with J Dilla blessing them with a couple beats on this but B.R. Gunna doesn’t disappoint at all either.
Kos – Yes!
After one listen of “I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman” I knew that I had the hear the rest of the album.
Oh No – Dr. No’s Ethiopium
Madlib took a trip to India while Oh No took a trip to Ethiopia crafting an incredible music journey for everyone to enjoy.
Oh No – Dr. No’s Oxperiment
Oh No’s first venture into an all out instrumental album and he knocks it ox, oh no I mean, out the park.
The Undergods (Canibus & Keith Murray) – Canibus and Keith Murray are The Undergods
Canibus and Keith Murray are The Undergods, “No Brainer”.
Souls Of Mischief – Montezuma’s Revenge
Souls Of Mischief plus Prince Paul times Steven Lopez equals quality music and artwork.
Ras Kass – Quarterly
Free Ras Kass what are you waiting for an invitation, here.
Breez Evahflowin’ – Breez Treez Free
Breez thanks his fans with a free album and it should give you more incentive to go buy his Breez Deez Treez album.
Opio – Everyody Loves The Sun EP
Architect produced, Opio rhymes and the title is true.
Super Chron Flight Brothers – Deleted Scenes
In some movies the deleted scenes are the best part and Super Chron Flight Brothers gives us a picture of things to come.
Last Emperor – ScienceTeam…Go! (mixed by DJ Mickey Knox & DJ Concept)
My first piece of vinyl from Last Emperor was “Secret Wars”. Now we can all here what he has secretly been working on.
Tab-One – The Tabloids
If Tab-One can do this on his solo then I can’t wait to here what he does with Kooley High.
Dumhi – Flowers EP
Beats that can take you to your special place.
Oddisee – Odd Autumn
Following his Odd Summer, Oddisee now gives us the music to get us through our autumn.
Tone Spliff – Authentic
After seeing the video, it had to be added to the collection.
Singles:
The East Flatbush Project – Tried By 12 (feat. Des)
You know this song if you hear it with one of the best Asian inspired samples.
Luniz – I Got 5 on It (Clean Bay Ballas vocal remix) (feat. Dru Down, Richie Rich, E-40, Shock G & Humpty Hump, Spice 1)
Always wanted the remix of this classic Luniz song.
Ray Charles – Little Drummer Boy
My favorite soulful interpretation of this Christmas song.
Compton’s Most Wanted – Streiht Up Menace (From Menace II Society)
This song brought the movie soundtrack to life.
Jay Electronica – Exhibit A (Transformations)
No excuse on this one.
