-Moka Only, 'Airport 5'. OK, so this guy is crazy prolific and has released somewhere around 30 albums(!!) over the past decade or so, but don't mistake this for low quality, I really maintain he is one of the most slept on MC's and producers out there today. Hailing from Vancouver, Canada, Moka Only makes all his own beats, does vocals, all kinds of crazy analog shit and live instrumentation, and thoughtful vocals about more than just 'whack mainstream MC's' and other indie hip hop cliche's.
-Oddisee, 'Rock Creek Park'. New full-length LP being handled by DC-based Mello Music Group. Mostly an instrumental album, showcasing Oddisee's often Dilla-like beatmaking magic, which I would call borderline straight-up jazz. 'Mattered Much', featuring U.K soul vocalist Olivier Daysoul, is a thoughtful, mellow piece I would call the album highlight, but this is a really diverse and introspective LP that engages the listener from start to finish. Highly Reccomended.
More to come peeps!
