This week was time to get back in to some hip-hop. Check out their 2010 album, great for rolling through your Friday / general cotching
The Roots – How I Got Over – 2010 album
If you like that, also check out this compilation
The Groove Active – Sweet tracks = “Attica Black”, “State of Yo
I also discovered one of my fave / most played artists released some stuff last year which I'd missed. This is some electronic / DJ'd hip-hop / chillout
RJD2 – The Colossus – pretty eclectic mix of stuff. All great.
RJD2 – The Glow (Paolo remix) - a single they've just released from the album above
If you've not heard of them, and you're liking them, check these two albums!
RJD2 – Since We Last Spoke: Deluxe – “The Move” is a great track that I’ve not come across as I only had the plebby non-deluxe version of the album
Other stuff...
Wild Nothing – Gemini – Some more dreamy festival-esque music (cheers Swainey)
Nikki Yanofsky - a 16 year old Canadian jazz singer. She's pretty impressive. Very Diana Krall (cheers MM)
Also...
Massive Attack – Heligoland – This just keeps getting better every time I listen to it. Has to be one of the albums of 2010.
Chase & Status
For those that remember them in Emma bar, click on ...
For those who don’t, they're a London D&B act who have started doing some work with the likes of Plan B and Rihanna
Chase & Status – More Than A Lot – It Covers the spectrum of Drum & Bass pretty well
- “Can’t Get Enough” nice bit of liquid DnB
- “Against All Odds” is nice bit of Hip-Hop with
- “Smash TV” is filth
- “Pieces” with Plan B (a pleasant / calm intro. Don’t let it fool you. Sick track)
- “Eastern Jam” cool vocals put in to dubstep. For those who have always wondered how to dance to tracks like this one, this parrot can teach you a thing or two
- “Running” is fat / fatt / phat [delete where appropriate]
- “Take You There” more liquid
- “In Love” very Hospital Records / Jenna G – Your happier / bouncier variety
