I made threads regarding both of these earlier in the week, but I have to re-recommend Teddy by Kxng Crooked and the EP Not Your Hero 4 Hire by Ben Reilly.
Unrelated, locket by AUDREY NUNA kind of pops. Only the music video version is on Youtube and that adds some extra shit so I linked Spotify.
MyOwnPersonalHell by Bones gets me feeling some type of way too, despite the fact that I’m pretty sure my old ass is not the target audience. Angst-ridden, teenage me would have loved this.
that DJ Muggs got every boom bapper in existence on it lol
Dude is the Boom-Bap Pokemon master. He collected them all for this album.
Haven’t listened to it all but Metroplois is great. Slick Rick always sounds so smooth.
That’s also the new album I’m most looking forward to checking out. I feel like he’s retained his signature dusty sound much more than a lot of other rappers from his generation
