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.

Literally anything by Nappy Roots.

The Game is underrated IMO.

Chiddy Bang β€” Opposite of Adults

I really like Mark Battles. β€œReal Ones, β€œNumbers2” and β€œHow” are solid tracks.

β€œNina” by Rhapsody is a great track.

Somewhere in the In-between by Streetlight Manifesto

I've been slowly digging into their discography recently and holy crap Ska is so funny because it'll be a bopping tune but then you catch the lyrics and find it's a song about war, death, collapse, etc.

This music video definitely embodies that same disconnect. Cute animal animation with bopping music except wait what are those people doing? What are those animals doing? Oh my is that how this ends?!

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

I might have missed it but I don’t see the Under Pressure album for Logic. Might to get your listens up on that one

[–] SpacetimeMachine@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

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.

[–] refriedrouting@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

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

You might have a crush on Logic :)

[–] Amaterasu@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

And Kendrick Lamar

[–] bpt11@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 hours ago

Shhh don’t tell him

(I’m 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

[–] No1ButtMe@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

The Replacements - Let it Be Morphine Cure For Pain

[–] butsbutts@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 hours ago

violent femmes - hallowed ground

[–] sidekickplayah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (3 children)

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

[–] Zane@aussie.zone 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Those Unkle and Jeru the Damaja albums are rock solid recommendations

Glad you enjoyed them!

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I love Psyence Fiction. I'm not even sure what genre it fits into, maybe trip-hop?

[–] sidekickplayah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 hours ago

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.

[–] Ashen44@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 hours ago

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

[–] EnderMB@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe try:

  • The Rise of Hobo Johnson by Hobo Johnson
  • Outside The Box by Hacktivist
  • Jurassic 5 by Jurassic 5
  • Control System by Ab-Soul
[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Anything by J5 really, it's all golden.

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 hours ago

Its a stage original rollin...

[–] Plastic_Ramses@lemmy.world 12 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] mrunicornman@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

I love Gorillaz and have listened to Deltron 3030 plenty of times but never made the connection!

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

If you must is one of the best bloc party jams of all time.

[–] Zane@aussie.zone 3 points 6 hours ago

He's also Ice Cube's cousin

[–] rain_worl@lemmy.world 0 points 10 hours ago

Big Grams

[–] Artaca@lemdro.id 5 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

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.
[–] bpt11@sh.itjust.works 1 points 13 hours ago

disco elysium soundtrack is fiiiiire

[–] Iapar 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Aesop rock - Skelethon

The drums are just 🀱

[–] TammyTobacco@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

I listen to several of the same rap albums as OP and I also love some Aesop Rock.

Here's one of his songs from a game soundtrack

Aesop Rock - ZZZ Top

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

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

[–] TeryVeneno@lemmy.ml 1 points 19 hours ago

Phantomime - Mori Calliope

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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)

[–] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] OADINC@feddit.nl 2 points 22 hours ago

Ivan Torrent - Onyria

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

[–] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

CunninLynguists - Will Rap for Food

Nappy Roots - Watermelon, Chicken & Gritz

Deltron Zero - Deltron 3030

Jurassic 5 - self titled album

Lupe Fiasco Food & Liquor

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Deltron Zero - Deltron 3030
