2. "what's been out so far?" In response to Reply # 0
I admittedly have just not been listening to much - job's been rough, time-wise - but when I've taken the time to look, haven't seen much.
Main new releases for the year for me, so far, were Skyzoo and Oddisee. I liked that collection of old Hi-Tek beats (Glen Orchard Drive). What else did everyone check in January?
A few things on the to-listen list:
Pan Amsterdam & Damu - EAT
Tha God Fahim/NicoJP
Brian Blade - LIFECYCLES honoring Bobby Hutcherson
Reuben Vincent - Love is War
Sunny War - Anarchist Gospel (folk-y? it's got Allison Russell and David Rawlings on a bunch of tracks so I'm in)

“Panorama Apartments(1994 MPC60ii)”
I’m wildly dreaming now, but i hope he keeps putting out an album of old beats with the machine he used for them, for every year. At least until Black Star popped. Would be the most intriguing instrumental series of all time, to me.
