Here’s my 100 most listened to albums on last.fm for reference of what my taste is like, don’t let that stop you from recommending me things you think I won’t like though I’m trying to expand my horizons.

I also like listening to small artists, I write a series of artist features all about people less than a million Spotify listeners so if you have any recommendations for that lmk.

    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.

    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

    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

    You should check out Psyence Fiction by UNKLE, I think you would enjoy it based on your taste for Gorillaz, and maybe Mezzanine by Massive Attack and Becoming X by Sneaker Pimps. My top picks off each album would be “Guns Blazing”, “Bloodstain” and “Rabbit in Your Headlights” off the first one and “Black Milk”, " Inertia Creeps" and “Mezzanine” off the second, and “Tesko Suicide” , “6 Underground” and “Spin Spin Sugar” off the third. But honestly I feel like these are just albums you gotta do a sequential listen of. Let me know if you enjoy any of them!

    Actually one last one, I’d throw in The Sun Rises in the East by Jeru the Damaja, “Mental Stamina” and “Jungle Music” are solid

        Yeah it’s usually classified under trip-hop. Such a good album and the sound is so diverse. You would not think guns blazing and lonely souls came off the same album

          Solid tracks. Nursery rhyme is one of my favorite tracks, goes so hard and it’s not even a metal album.

      Fuck me I forgot to add “You Can’t Stop The Prophet” off of Sun Rises in the East, that’s probably the best song on the 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.

      I can’t stand their accent (im a brit) and their lyrics have no artistry

    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.

    I share a lot of those albums in my top listens! I highly suggest any album by the Avalanches (there are only 3.) Start with Since I Left You, then Wildflower, then We Will Always Love You. They’re a group from Australia that kinda popularized Plunderphonics. Where they just bought a TON of old records and made songs purely from samples. Since I Left You is an amazing album that is pure samples, easily over 1000 samples were used.
