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

CunninLynguists - Will Rap for Food

Nappy Roots - Watermelon, Chicken & Gritz

Deltron Zero - Deltron 3030

Jurassic 5 - self titled album

Lupe Fiasco Food & Liquor

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

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.

illmatic

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.

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

Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE if you wanna expand into psychedelia

Kinda older at this point, but I still love Cadence Weapon's "Breaking Kayfabe." In 2009 he was named Edmonton's Poet Laureate.

Because you like Handsome Boy Modelling School I'd give Lovage - Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By a spin.

Didn't notice The Streets in your top 100. It's kind of in line with Gorillaz. My fave album of theirs: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/...

• Public enemy - it takes a nation of millions to hold us back
• de la soul - 3 feet high and rising
• the weeknd - dawn fm
• jurassic 5 - power in numbers
• the coup - genocide and juice
• amy winehouse - frank

The album Syro by Aphex Twin.

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.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. (60's Psychedelic rock, nearly all of the songs were hits, that's how good it is)

Twin Fantasy by Car Seat Headrest (indie rock)

3D Country by Geese (country rock made by a punk band)

[the future academy of noise, rhythm and gardening presents...] The Dream by The Orb. (Ambient house? Can't remember the exact genre, very ambient, sample heavy and "lush" but also dancable)

Keep It Unreal by Mr. Scruff (acid/nu-jazz I think?)

Frequencies From Planet Ten, Time Travelling Blues by Orange Goblin (two albums, stoner metal)

The Crazy World of Arthur Brown (by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown). (Psychedelic rock with rnb/soul-style vocals, also possibly one of the first narrative-based albums)

Ziltoid the Omniscient by Devin Townsend (prog-metal, one of the greatest albums of all time)

And if you want the heaviest album I've ever heard, try Snailking by Ufomammut. It's... It's something else. Basically a mix of doom and stoner metal but with sludge metal effects. Best way I think I can describe it is if Pink Floyd had been a doom metal band addicted to Lovecraft. It's trippy in a lovecraftian kinda way.

Anyway, gonna cut myself off here.

How you got not RTJ?!

Listen to all 4 RTJ albums pls

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.

Watch !sessionjams@sh.itjust.works you never know what might get posted.

We have similar taste and you need to listen to Kalush (and Kalush Orchestra) - Ukrainian hip hop! The “Orchestra” group has more folk influences but all of it is just banger after banger. I don’t understand a word of Ukrainian but I love these guys.

Durand Burnarr - Wanderlust

The Chronicles of Israfel - Starborn

Metallica - S&M (Symphony and Metallica)

The old one, not the newer one. It's a live recording.

Metallica and the San Francisco symphony, honestly some of the better versions of their songs are on this album. No Leaf Clover is my favorite from it.

Also, CunninLynguists - Strange Journey volume 3

I'll elaborate on artists I see here already amd recommend MF Doom's Mm..Food, The White Stripe's Elephant, and a collaboration between MF Doom and Danger Mouse; The Mouse and the Mask. The last is particularly good if you're familliar with Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

P.U.L.S.E.

Upgrade that Dark Side of the Moon.

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)

Something different - Lorn - Just listen to everything xD

To stay more hip hop

Cult of the Damned and all of their side projects, Lee Scott is a fucking son and pretty much everything he touches is gold. My particular favourite is the "Cult Mountain" side project.

Big Boi and Phantom made a collab album.

Big Grams

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

Can't see the list but basing this on the comments - I have been enjoying the new Hard Quartet album and think you might like. Rock and roll, more or less.

Janelle Monae, any of the first 3 albums in particular, but all of hers flow well.

Run the Jewels, if they aren't already in your list. Second album, but again, any.

Absolutely love the new Fontaines DC album.

bleach lab - lost in a rush of emptiness

Dream Theater - Meteopolis pt 2: Scenes from a Memory

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.

If you're into rap hybridizations, Rage Against the Machine's self titled album is one of my favourite's

You might have a crush on Logic :)

Ride - Nowhere

Apex - Unleash the Archers.

Any by Radiohead. They are all different.

You'd probably like Paul's Boutique by the Beastie Boys. You may also wanna try Nujabe's Modal Soul.

Sound and Fury - Sturgill Simpson

Sad, Fat Luck by Ceschi

In case we die, architecture in Helsinki

I's recommend SLIFT's album UMMON. It's an interesting mix of psychedelic-prog rock/metal.

Their other albums are also pretty solid, but Ummon is their best IMO.

Stessie - Home

In two totally different genres : World on Disease by Antagonism and Orelsan et Gringe sont Les Casseurs Flowters by Casseurs Flowters

20009 by Drakkar Sauna

Hip Hop: DJ Shadow- Endtroducing... Blues: RL Burnside- A Ass Pocket of Whiskey Psychedelic Rock: The Cambodian Space Project- Whisky Cambodia Dance/Electro: The Presets- Apocalypso

Mechanical Keyboard Sounds: Recordings of Bespoke and Customized Mechanical Keyboards

Edit: This is less music, and more relaxation sounds. But I really like it.

Ivan Torrent - Onyria

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

Point by Cornelius

https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kcDY34JwcNIn_Xda-R7gG_ItaqXtHVLRI&si=PiNdzuhHtIdRqNPc

The Replacements - Let it Be Morphine Cure For Pain

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

I haven't heard most of those artists but some of the albums art reminds me of MC Lars

violent femmes - hallowed ground

Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow One of the greatest albums of all time. If you like Dilla and DOOM that's the only logical choice.

Suite for Ma Dukes by Miguel Atwood Ferguson. Live recording of a Dilla tribute concert with a 60 piece orchestra. Stakes Is High with Posdnuos and Talib Kweli is a standout. Album is on Bandcamp and the full concert video is on YouTube.

In the World: From Natchez to New York by Olu Dara. He's the father of Nas (who guests on the album) and an accomplished jazz musician in his own right, but this isn't a jazz album. Okra is in my top three songs about food.

Fela Soul by Amerigo Gazaway. A mashup of De La Soul and Fela Kuti. "Music is the weapon. Music is the future. Music is the weapon of the future."

I see a lot of my favorites in that list. Some of my top albums I don't see:

• Negro Swan and Cupid Deluxe by blood orange
• IV by badbadnotgood
• injury reserve by injury reserve
• Don't You by Wet (pretty significant vibe shift from the others, maybe you'll like it)

spirit phone by lemon demon

Generation Why by Zhu. I don't really care for most of Zhu's music, but this album I really enjoy. It's similar in style to 808s and heartbreak.

Laurie Anderson - Strange Angels

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?!

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

Phantomime - Mori Calliope

Literally anything by Nappy Roots.

The Game is underrated IMO.

Chiddy Bang — Opposite of Adults

I really like Mark Battles. “Real Ones, “Numbers2” and “How” are solid tracks.

“Nina” by Rhapsody is a great track.

Punk rock for kids who can't skate, by destructo disk

and The power of positive drinking, by ashtrays

WITHERED or Paid Programming by BONES

Terraja Peyote asesino.

Preschtale by C-jeff

Based on your most listened, maybe try Little Simz, clipping, Fantasic Negrito (Album: Last Days of Oakland)

For something maybe a little outside the box I recommend The Books, Gramatik, Pretty Lights, Cosmo Sheldrake

A Tribe Called Quest - Beats, Rhymes, & Life

Since you are trying to expand your horizons here's a bunch of weird stuff I like:

• Paper Kites - Woodland
• Hawaii Part II
• Jack Stauber - HiLo
• Marxist Love Disco Ensemble - MLDE
• Twin Resurrection - Volume 1
• Windows 96 - Reflections (tbh any album by Win96 is great)
• Chikoi The Maid - Leaving Reality
• Ginger Root - Shinbangumi
• PilotRedSun - Achievement
• Date of Birth - Planet Dob
• Akiko Yano - Tadaima

Clube da Esquina 2
