3033441, New Release Friday 2021-07-16
Posted by thebigfunk, Fri Jul-16-21 10:35 AM
Haven't started digging yet but I do know there's a Lasso/Jordan Hamilton/Sasquatch project on Mello --- I'll probably check that early on. Looks like there's maybe a new Alchemist instrumental release in his "Rapper's Best Friend" series, too.

What's everyone seeing or looking for? Catching up on any projects you slept on or missed over the last bit of time?

Listening now and it sounds great. It has the breathy vocals that I'm getting a little burned out on, but that's just a personal quirk. Otherwise, really liking him in full-song mode.

Also, this came out last week, but LV and Joshua Idehen have a new album out. I've really been enjoying UK rap over dance beat type stuff lately (like the first Massive Attack album) and loved the duo's Routes album from a while back. Listened to this a few times and it's short but powerful album.

3033446, From 2 or 3 weeks ago: Lightman Jarvis Ecstatic Band

Really like this album. It might seem like sketches that never become songs to some, but I love the loose nature of it and the subtle mix of so many genres: indie rock/r&b/electronic/experimental.

Beat tape style, listened last night on a whim. I may have been in a certain mood yesterday but this was dope to me. Everything is in that sweet-spot of 1:30 to 2 minutes in length, sample-based, good variety of styles. Nothing groundbreaking I guess, but nice comfort food for my ears.

I don't like the beat anymore because its just a loop. ALC didn't FLIP IT ENOUGH!
