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.
