    The first album that springs to mind that I have listened to alot lately is Koncept - Awaken.
    Short album, but excellent.

    Doomtree - No Kings would also be another good one.

    Get "Jermaine's EP" by Emcee Jermaine on iTunes. It's only €3 for 9 songs. 23 and a half minutes of top class rhyming. Can't go too far wrong there.

    It's very good. I've been listening to it every since I got it. Some songs he has a banging beat and then others are just 90 seconds long with only a drum and him spitting as hard as possible.

    "Crazy 88" gets better every time I hear it. "Rap Casserole" is pretty class as well.

    also you should get Raekwons new mixtape "Unexpected Victory"

    Got it, love it. Very stripped down hip hop done exceedingly well.

    Whoever produced it did a great job. Very Rick Rubin-esque sound to it. Almost nothing in the instrumentals at times, letting you focus entirely on the lyrics.

    Also massive props to him for making a brilliant cd and not having to curse along the way. He's up there with Chamillionaire as the only rapper I know that can achieve this.

    The production is amazing and totally suits Jermaine. It sounds so simple at times, but very effective. Some of the drums used are amazing. The reverse sounding drums on Writes of Passage, the clap on Stereo Typical, there is something exceptional about the production on each track.

    Best €3 I've spent today.

    Personally, I believed Beastie Boys' "Hot Sauce Committee Part Two" was excellent. Can't wait for Part One! :)

    Yea the clap on ST is amazing in it's simplicity. I think it could be on it's way to becoming my favourite beat of all time :pac:.

    It's the best €3 I've spent in ages. Hopefully he'll be putting out some more music soon enough. I had a look around at a few blogs and this might be a teaser for an album. I can't wait.
