How you got not RTJ?!

Listen to all 4 RTJ albums pls

Big Boi and Phantom made a collab album.

Big Grams

https://jockstrapmusic.bandcamp.com/album/wicked-city

Laurie Anderson - Strange Angels

Phantomime - Mori Calliope

Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030

Deltron 3030.

Hes the rapper for the gorillaz but also has/had a solo career before/during/after the gorillaz as del the funkee homosapien.

The album is a sci-fi futurism concept hip hop album.

Our musical tastes seem almost perfectly aligned, so I'll try and throw out a few curve balls:

1. AJR - pretty corny, but fuck if almost every song ain't a bop.
2. The Districts - A Flourish and a Spoil
3. Mansions - Dig Up the Dead
4. Stop Light Observations - oRANGE.
5. Disco Elysium Soundtrack has been my go to of late when I don't want lyrics cluttering my head.

Ivan Torrent - Onyria

This guy makes amazing epic music. Can't recommend him enough. All his other albums are great as well.

Aesop rock - Skelethon

The drums are just 🤱

Suite for Ma Dukes by Miguel Atwood Ferguson. Live recording of a Dilla tribute concert with a 60 piece orchestra. Stakes Is High with Posdnuos and Talib Kweli is a standout. Album is on Bandcamp and the full concert video is on YouTube.

In the World: From Natchez to New York by Olu Dara. He's the father of Nas (who guests on the album) and an accomplished jazz musician in his own right, but this isn't a jazz album. Okra is in my top three songs about food.

Fela Soul by Amerigo Gazaway. A mashup of De La Soul and Fela Kuti. "Music is the weapon. Music is the future. Music is the weapon of the future."

Mechanical Keyboard Sounds: Recordings of Bespoke and Customized Mechanical Keyboards

Edit: This is less music, and more relaxation sounds. But I really like it.

Clube da Esquina 2

Atmosphere - Mi Vida Local

After going through your list a second time, I don't see gorillaz newest album Cracker Island on it. I never thought the gorillaz would ever get close to their demon days height but I love their new album almost as much (its close, but you can't outshine the sun)

I don't see any of The Avalanches on there. All their stuff is good, but if you haven't listened to them, probably start with the original Since I Left You album.

For reference, I discovered J Dilla - Donuts when trying to find more stuff like The Avalanches.

CunninLynguists - Will Rap for Food

Nappy Roots - Watermelon, Chicken & Gritz

Deltron Zero - Deltron 3030

Jurassic 5 - self titled album

Lupe Fiasco Food & Liquor

Watch !sessionjams@sh.itjust.works you never know what might get posted.

Glad to see plenty of gorillaz in there!

Actually a lot of yours align with mine such as Tame Impala and King Gizzard. I'm gonna check out some of the others you have.

I don't really listen to specific albums, just certain artists and playlists.

I will throw in Franz Ferdinand - Hits to the head album though

Here's something unique. The album "Acheron" by Mechina.

I don't think it's in your regular taste. But it's unique enough to be a suggestion.

A Tribe Called Quest - Beats, Rhymes, & Life

Something different - Lorn - Just listen to everything xD

To stay more hip hop

Cult of the Damned and all of their side projects, Lee Scott is a fucking son and pretty much everything he touches is gold. My particular favourite is the "Cult Mountain" side project.

Can't see the list but basing this on the comments - I have been enjoying the new Hard Quartet album and think you might like. Rock and roll, more or less.

Janelle Monae, any of the first 3 albums in particular, but all of hers flow well.

Run the Jewels, if they aren't already in your list. Second album, but again, any.

Absolutely love the new Fontaines DC album.

Love that Forever story is there as both original and extended version! Sticking to the strong lyricism rap themes Food and Liquor from Lupe Fiasco is great.

I think Eminem's latest project The Death of Slim Shady was a lot of fun and showed his talent as an artist but it's not for everyone thematically.

Didn't notice The Streets in your top 100. It's kind of in line with Gorillaz. My fave album of theirs: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Grand_Don%27t_Come_for_Free

Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE if you wanna expand into psychedelia

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. (60's Psychedelic rock, nearly all of the songs were hits, that's how good it is)

Twin Fantasy by Car Seat Headrest (indie rock)

3D Country by Geese (country rock made by a punk band)

[the future academy of noise, rhythm and gardening presents...] The Dream by The Orb. (Ambient house? Can't remember the exact genre, very ambient, sample heavy and "lush" but also dancable)

Keep It Unreal by Mr. Scruff (acid/nu-jazz I think?)

Frequencies From Planet Ten, Time Travelling Blues by Orange Goblin (two albums, stoner metal)

The Crazy World of Arthur Brown (by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown). (Psychedelic rock with rnb/soul-style vocals, also possibly one of the first narrative-based albums)

Ziltoid the Omniscient by Devin Townsend (prog-metal, one of the greatest albums of all time)

And if you want the heaviest album I've ever heard, try Snailking by Ufomammut. It's... It's something else. Basically a mix of doom and stoner metal but with sludge metal effects. Best way I think I can describe it is if Pink Floyd had been a doom metal band addicted to Lovecraft. It's trippy in a lovecraftian kinda way.

Anyway, gonna cut myself off here.

If you're willing to go a bit out of hip hop you'd probably love Dijon. Our tastes seem pretty similar. I'm assuming you listen to Freddie Gibbs? If not Bandana for sure collab with madlib and it sounds amazing

Hip Hop: DJ Shadow- Endtroducing... Blues: RL Burnside- A Ass Pocket of Whiskey Psychedelic Rock: The Cambodian Space Project- Whisky Cambodia Dance/Electro: The Presets- Apocalypso

Cannibal ox - Cold Vein

7 notas 7 colores - Hecho, es simple

Metallica - S&M (Symphony and Metallica)

The old one, not the newer one. It's a live recording.

Metallica and the San Francisco symphony, honestly some of the better versions of their songs are on this album. No Leaf Clover is my favorite from it.

Also, CunninLynguists - Strange Journey volume 3

The album Syro by Aphex Twin.

Kinda older at this point, but I still love Cadence Weapon's "Breaking Kayfabe." In 2009 he was named Edmonton's Poet Laureate.

Because you like Handsome Boy Modelling School I'd give Lovage - Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By a spin.

illmatic

We have similar taste and you need to listen to Kalush (and Kalush Orchestra) - Ukrainian hip hop! The “Orchestra” group has more folk influences but all of it is just banger after banger. I don’t understand a word of Ukrainian but I love these guys.

Durand Burnarr - Wanderlust

Since you are trying to expand your horizons here's a bunch of weird stuff I like:

• Paper Kites - Woodland
• Hawaii Part II
• Jack Stauber - HiLo
• Marxist Love Disco Ensemble - MLDE
• Twin Resurrection - Volume 1
• Windows 96 - Reflections (tbh any album by Win96 is great)
• Chikoi The Maid - Leaving Reality
• Ginger Root - Shinbangumi
• PilotRedSun - Achievement
• Date of Birth - Planet Dob
• Akiko Yano - Tadaima

Apex - Unleash the Archers.
