Hands on the Torch

US3 (1993) Hands on the Torch

Another Jazzy rap classic for all the jazzy rap classics fans. I'm kinda busy so I'll just copy the review from Ron Wynn of AMG.

Hip-hop/jazz fusionisters Us3 have forged the most elaborate union between the styles since the early days of Gang Starr and A Tribe Called Quest. Blue Note's vast catalog gives them a huge advantage over several similar groups in terms of source material, and classic sounds by Art Blakey, Horace Silver, and Herbie Hancock provide zest and fiber to their narratives. Indeed, when things falter, it's because the raps aren't always that creative. They are serviceable and sometimes catchy, but too often delivered without the snazzy touches or distinctive skills that make Quest and Gang Starr's material top-notch. But when words and music mesh, as on "Cantaloop" or "The Darkside," Us3 show how effectively hip-hop and jazz can blend.

1. Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)
2. I Got It Goin' On
3. Different Rhythms, Different People
4. It's Like That
5. Just Another Brother
6. Cruisin'
7. I Go to Work
8. Tukka Yoot's Riddim
9. Knowledge of Self
10. Lazy Day
11. Eleven Long Years
12. Make Tracks
13. The Darkside

"Everybody groove to the music..."

Da Bush Babees are members of the late 1980s to early-mid 1990s rap alliance known as the Native Tongues Posse. The members of the group are Babe-B-Face Kaos [later Lee Majors], Y-Tee, and Mister Man. All three grew up in Jamaica and Trinidad, and hence reggae strongly influenced their style. The group saw its genesis in Brooklyn, NY in 1992 when Mister Man saw Kaos perform. The two began collaborating, and after Mister Man suggested adding a reggae toaster Y-Tee joined the group. After their early concert dates sparked major-label interest, the trio performed live office auditions and signed with Reprise - three months after launching the band. Their debut, Ambushed (1994), featured production from Jermaine Dupri, Nikke Nikole, Joey Mercy, Mark Batson, Salaam Gibbs, and the group itself. Other releases included Remember We (1995) and Gravity (1996) which was the group's first underground and commercial success. The lead single from Gravity, "The Love Song" featured a then unknown Mos Def singing the chorus and was produced by Posdnous of De La Soul.

Transitions

Arts the Beatdoctor (2007) Transitions

If you liked Pete Philly's albums check out this one, it's also from Unexpected Records, and it features some guestspots by Pete Philly.

Dutch beatsmith Arts the Beatdoctor releases his debut album and It stirs up a complex stew of emotions: melancholy being one of the most tongue-catching ingredients, supplemented by foreboding, a few tablespoons of tension and a few splashes of release. Comparisons to artists such as DJ Shadow, Krush and RJD2 spring to mind with his blend of atmospheric and cinematic jazzy hip hop beats. With featurings by Pete Philly, Skiggy Rapz and The Proov, Transitions became a very personal and introspective album which can't be left unnoticed by anyone interested in true music.

Popular Demand

Black Milk (2007) Popular Demand

Though still in his early twenties, Black Milk has been a rising talent both as a producer and as an emcee within the Detroit hip hop scene for several years. Following the untimely deaths of J Dilla and Proof (D-12) in 2006, hip hop fans all over the world are anxious for a new generation of hip hop artists from the Motor City to carry the torch for its fallen heroes. Black Milk isn't asking to carry the torch; he's already running with it.

As word spread of Black's talent, the demand for his beats began to reach artists outside of the Detroit scene. In 2006, Black Milk extended his sphere of influence by producing tracks for Pharoahe Monch, Lloyd Banks, and Canibus. He also inked his first record contract with Fat Beats Records, and is set to release his next solo release Popular Demand in 2007. As a charismatic emcee and already-accomplished producer, Black Milk is poised to be the next young artist from Detroit to excel on a national stage. The future of Detroit hip-hop starts now.

Some say that Popular Demand is the best album of 2007 so far, and I kinda agree, but I'm not sure, because in jus three months, soo many great albums came out.

Soon Come..

Asheru and Blue Black of the Unspoken Heard

Soon Come (2001)

Asheru & Blue Black of the Unspoken Heard began getting significant recognition in underground hip-hop around the turn of the millennium. Their sound is reminiscent of the New York "new school" sound of the early '90s, particularly that of the Native Tongues Posse.
The album taps a bubbling reserve of energy and vitality, and Asheru and Blue Black stir in just enough of the new with a whole lot of old-school style to make an irresistible blend.
Asheru's most known for his theme song on the show The Boondocks, on Adult Swim.
