Hereβs my 100 most listened to albums on last.fm for reference of what my taste is like, donβt let that stop you from recommending me things you think I wonβt like though Iβm 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.
I'd recommend this album, or if you don't have time for the whole thing, this specific song on it. Album: Maximum Love - Jupiter Song: Dangerous Love
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.
Black Heart from Nine Treasures for expanding horizons :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1TRPCPoVhw&list=OLAK5uy_ki7KfC9keEcJRL5bnPdpa_M_aedfAXFSE
You might have a crush on Logic :)
Shhh donβt tell him
(Iβm only just a little embarrassed with how prevalent he is)
I haven't heard most of those artists but some of the albums art reminds me of MC Lars
The Replacements - Let it Be Morphine Cure For Pain
violent femmes - hallowed ground
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
Those Unkle and Jeru the Damaja albums are rock solid recommendations
Glad you enjoyed them!
I love Psyence Fiction. I'm not even sure what genre it fits into, maybe trip-hop?
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.
over the garden wall soundtrack spotted
I don't know most of those so I can't really get a grasp on your tastes but I'll throw a few albums I really like into the ring anyways!
Ruin - The Amazing Devil The Search - NF Everything is Wrong - Lincoln Needle and Thread - Roland Faunte Starbound Orchestral - Curtis Schweitzer Smile! :D - Porter Robinson Dark Matter - Les Friction
I tried to pick some stuff that was really all over the place, hopefully something in there speaks to you
How you got not RTJ?!
Listen to all 4 RTJ albums pls
Maybe try:
Anything by J5 really, it's all golden.
Its a stage original rollin...
spirit phone by lemon demon
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.
I love Gorillaz and have listened to Deltron 3030 plenty of times but never made the connection!
If you must is one of the best bloc party jams of all time.
He's also Ice Cube's cousin
Our musical tastes seem almost perfectly aligned, so I'll try and throw out a few curve balls:
disco elysium soundtrack is fiiiiire
Aesop rock - Skelethon
The drums are just π€±
I listen to several of the same rap albums as OP and I also love some Aesop Rock.
Hell of a good album. Cycles to Gehenna slaps, fryerstarter is a little surreal. A good chunk of his albums have an instrumental version too.
Laurie Anderson - Strange Angels
Phantomime - Mori Calliope
Ivan Torrent - Onyria
This guy makes amazing epic music. Can't recommend him enough. All his other albums are great as well.
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
Deltron Zero - Deltron 3030

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
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.
