Catching up on a few 2005 HH albums in the past month. Liking Scram! (and the World Gone Mad EP) from Domo Genesis & Graymatter, as well as PremRock’s Did You Enjoy Your Time Here…?. Not sure where they’d slot in my list of course but top 20 for sure.
Also listened to John Michel & Anthony James’ Egotrip last month, but not sure about that one overall. Need to revisit.
@JaguarPirate calling time on this. Just watched Gabe Nandez supporting Armand Hammer and I should really be able to cite him as’DIS hip-hop album of the year winning…"

Did he have any records with him at the merch desk?
Oh shit, is Gabe the support for the whole tour? Nice.
Shamefully didn’t stop by to check, as wanted to make sure I could maximise drinking time after (a rare night out for me). I know Armand Hammer did as they were talking about meeting people outside to sign merch including records after the curfew.
