Evil Ebenezer - Howl (2013)

Dark beats and raps for your nights prowling 'these streets'.  Support independent hip-hop.  Van City we out here!

Potatohead People - Kosmichemusik EP (2012)

The discovery of this album and many more in the past year has inspired me to start sharing my tastes here again.  Bandcamp is one of the best ways to sample and buy music right now.  The artist gets a larger percentage of the purchase than iTunes, plus lossless audio rules!  Let us continue...

Devin the Dude - To Tha X-Treme (2004)

I don't think anybody raps about weed more than Devin. His beats are always mad chill and smell of skunky bass and funky loops. This is quintessential smokers music. Light up one for 2010.

Happy New Year!

Ta'Raach & The Lovelution - The Fevers (2006)

This is a disjointed collection of dirty hip-hop with undeniable moments of clarity. When they pinpoint a situation, you feel like you're in the same room. It's raw, dank, and sexy. Start a lovelution.

Waxolutionists - We Paint Colors (2009)

This is a trio of producers out of Austria creating some of the freshest hip-hop I've heard this year. It's an eclectic selection of tracks that don't rely on convention. Feels like an extended summer, so vibe out.

Arts the Beatdoctor - Transitions (2007)

This is a producer from The Netherlands. On "Transitions", he shows his musical diversity with a collection of jazz inflicted hip-hop tracks which are mostly characterized by their nightly atmosphere.
