Crikey guys, there’s a lot of mediocrity (at best) on these lists (I’ve just tried listening to a few). On the plus side, Jay Som sounds great and I do intend to purchase a copy.

It’s not my fault. Blame the half hearted attempts of the artistes.

Vinyl this month but official release was last month I believe. So good we should get to vote for it again though I reckon.

Think I missed Rapsody because it was a digital only release and new stuff I often pick up on via record store mail outs.

Anyway it’s great so cheers for the heads up!

I’ve given up ignoring digital only releases when I realised that it would mean missing 90% of new hip hop.

Love the Rapsody record - I thought it might be a bit ‘worthy’ from some of what I read about it but it’s actually pretty much my ideal hip hop album - great beats, great verses, thoughtful and engaging lyrics. Having spent quite a lot of the summer listening to my son’s favourite contemporary hip hop - which is brilliantly produced, catchy as hell but basically 100% people talking about all the designer clothes and watches they own - it was just what I needed,

Yeah I need to refresh my music discovery strategies. It’s easy to end up down a narrow path.
I’m always surprised by how little mainstream/relatively mainstream hip hop gets a physical release these days.

Not really enough time to be 100% with my selections, but:

  1. Blanck Mass - Animated Violence Mild
  2. Press Club - Wasted Energy
  3. Whitney - Forever Turned Around
  4. Jay Som - Anak Ko
  5. Oso Oso - Basking in the Glow

Honourable mentions: The Murder Capital (I feel this may grow on me, but hasn’t clicked yet), Sleater-Kinney and Brockhampton.

A million times this. Really wished I’d been able to get releases by Noname and Hermit and the Recluse on vinyl from last year especially and was gutted that they just don’t exist. Take my money people.
