Just like last year, decided to write up on a few albums that I think deserve a lot more recognition for how good they are. Just quick blurbs about them. Really, really recommend checking them out at least a little.

1. Juçara Marçal - Delta Estácio Blues

Genre: R&B? Pop? Experimental?

Notable Brazilian singer Juçara Marçal from the band Metá Metá dropped a really good, avant-gardeish Brazilian... R&B? album. Hard to really define what the album is, but it features a lot of off-the-wall production, combined with great vocals. Wide range of sounds, but still accessible and not totally experimental.

2. Sons of Kemet - Black To The Future

Genre: Acid House, Soca, Drum and bass

Another year, another moment of me shilling for Shabaka Hutchings. The man is underappreciated, his music even more so. If you like jazz even a little, please just take a listen. That's all I'm gonna say.

3. Blake Mills and Pino Palladino - Notes With Attachments

Genre: Funk, Son Cubano

Really good instrumental project by Pino Palladino (extremely notable bass player who has played for The Who, Nine Inch Nails, D'Angelo, etc) and Blake Mills (songwriter/composer/singer who has collaborated with way too many acts to name). Just a unique, very nice album to put in the background. Great instrument playing, watertight song composition, and overall a well made album.

Thank u all 3 of these are already goated. Finna check all 3 out tonight

Pino a legend imma check these out

Young Nudy Dr Ev4L

Sons of kemet dropped an acid house album? hell yes

Well, it's really jazz-ish like their usual projects, but apparently Shabaka doesn't like being put in the "jazz" sphere. It's not really acid house, but there's a lot of influence that you can hear.

Bett. Their last album is crazy so i know this gonna be heat

@marcusg tap in brother

Foreign Exchange - RX Papi
Van Goghs Left Ear - Zelooperz
Ghost With Skin - Corbin
Chain Gang Halo World - Sickboyrari

I'm surprised that Black Kray tape went under the radar as much as it did

You got me with this first song

My f***in boy you know I will

God bless you for pmo to the Shabaka universe. Checking these out immediately

My thoughts exactly

R&B/ UK Soul-

Children of Zeus - Balance

I won't rest till everyone knows of Shabaka's genius

You got any acid house recs?

Shiiett. Its not a subgenre im well versed in, i have a more widespread knowledge on house, but im diving deep into the subgenres as we speak. i found my love for house music thru deep house.

Person who got me into the acid subgenres is def luke vibert. I looked up that hes more acid techno tho

Peep this compilation as well

OP likes Tyler the Creator
