The De La album is easily the best of the Legend Has It series. It’s the only one that’s been released that I can see getting more than one listen.
I think it’s either an old verse being used or he’s rapping closer to the style he had when he was milo. Bit like MF DOOM featuring on a Viktor Vaughn record. Or whichever alias DOOM used on whichever album it was, I forget
this de la soul album has me geeking honestly it’s just got really positive and emotional vibes clipse and de la soul holding that top spot for me
It’s nearing a year since my uncle passed away and cabin in the sky hit like a brick such a beautiful song I love this album
This new R.A.P. Ferreira and Kenny Segal album is really good. Probably the jazziest album he’s done so far, you can tell Kenny been influenced by some of the jazz acts he’s been working with recently.
De La Soul is one of my biggest blind spots in hip-hop, I've heard them on features but never dove into their discography. Think this is a good excuse to finally pull the trigger on that Also happy to see KRIT releasing something new
This is a good rap album from this year. Vel Nine, formerly known as Vel the Wonder. Underground rapper from California. RIYL Gavlyn.
I’m like half way through that 1999 Write the Future album and I checked out the ep they dropped in May and I’m enjoying both of the releases.
what are people's faves of the year? a couple of great ones and no real standouts IMO. admittedly I'm suuuuuper behind but I liked these (in no order): JID Little Simz De La Soul Danny Brown Mick Jenkins Jim Legxacy Jane Remover Goldlink Halima Earl Sweatshirt firstlin3 Princess Nokia Clipse Yaya Bey Juicy J
Navy Blue pretty easily in first for me. I was just honing in on the lyrics last night and it is a beautiful, beautiful record. I can't believe he is six albums into a career releasing 1-2 records a year (starting at age 20) and they're literally all knock-outs
Probably something like this... US/UK: Vel Nine - A Beautiful Day To Die AJ Tracey - Don't Die Before Your Dead Blu - Forty Intuition & Equalibrum - Leave A Mark De La Soul - Cabin In The Sky Dave - The Boy Who Played The Harp Other: Döll - Weg Vom Weg (German) Samy Deluxe & Conductor Williams - Samy & Conductor (German) Verifiziert - Arizona 2012 (Austrian) Cho - Giovanni I (Dutch) Cho - Giovanni 2 (Dutch) Dio - De Vlugtlaan (Dutch) Ela A - Pixel (Swiss-Italian) Honorable Mention: Verifiziert - Bulletholes (Austrian), which came out in late 2024, but did not reach me until this year.
