10 Records From This Year That You Probably Didn’t Hear, Or Maybe You Heard Them, But Didn’t Realize Just How Great They Were?

  • Droop-E, BLVCK Diamond Life: What Tim Hecker did to David Lee Roth on My Love Is Rotten To The Core, Droop-E does to Sade.
  • GMane, Sex, Drugs, & Money: Spacey, almost psychedelic, edifying gangster rap. The first digital download I’ve ever paid for.
  • Jim O’Rourke, All Kinds Of People ~ Love Burt Bacharach: My album of the year.
  • Little Brother, Leftback: Seemingly invigorated by their dissolution, Phonte and Pooh rediscover themselves on the album where they call it quits. Strangely appropriate.
  • No Gang Colors, This Is Your God: 11 perfect minutes of noise-metal-hip-hop deconstruction done right. Drink, smoke, drop acid, and fight to this.
  • Robert Hood, Omega: Heady, barely-there dance music made to soundtrack a chintzy Charlton Heston post-apocalypse flick.
  • Starlito, Renaissance Gangster: World-weary like Wayne, weed-obsessed like Curren$y, and far more consistent than both. With Burn One beats!
  • Uffie, Sex Dreams & Denim Jeans: Really! Go listen to it! It’s great!
  • Valient Thorr, Stranger: Wrote lots about this one here. A politically-engaged party metal masterpiece.
  • Z.O.M.E, Welcome To The Zoo On Mars: The tripped-out, youth swag rap all the blogs never got around to discovering.

  5. Hey Brandon, I’ve been meaning to ask you: how did you get your copy of the O’Rourke album? I’ve never heard of it other than from you…

  6. Ive never heard of any of these people, why are they on this site….theres a difference from being a big time rapper and a Myspace wanna be, this gmane (bitten from g money on boys from the hood, or gucci and even both) he’s from Alabama and carrying machine guns like a terrorist, on his Myspace he done a song with gucci mane, but on gucci manes discography states he never done a song with this fake rapper….some body needs to weed out the fakes, these fake fucks need to stop “pretending” to be fucking big gangsta rappers, speacially from some little city in bum fucked alabama
