MF Grimm - The Hunt for the Gingerbread Man (2007)

I love MF Grimm's music. This album is kinda goofy since he talks about murder and selling drugs but as the Gingerbread Man living in Candyland. The beats are nice and Grimm has some of my favorite lyrics. The album cover really does tell the whole story about this album.

Chaundon is part of the Justus League (Little Brother is a part of this group as well) and makes east coast NY style hip hop. More soul comes into the record as it moves towards the end and Chaundon never lets up on his delivery and lyrics. Great record for any hip hop fan.

Thievery Corporation - MCCM: The Mirror Conspiracy (2000)

Describing this album is rather difficult. At some points its a reggae-ish mix with electronic then moves onto pure instrumental. It goes from fast paced to slow and chill from song to song. I love this album personally and have been playing it ever since it came out in 2000.

The Kid Daytona - The Interlude (2010)

This is a free album from The Kid Daytona. I believe this is free because of the samples used would have cost him a fortune and without the samples the production would be rather dull. As it is now though this is excellent music all around.

Alain Goraguer - OST La Planète Sauvage (1973)

This is the soundtrack to the 1973 french animated movie La Planète Sauvage. It is done entirely by Alain Goraguer who worked with Serge Gainsbourg. The album is a trip as it weaves it way through synths and horns while always sounding mysterious. If you have heard Madlib's Quasimoto albums then you will recognize some of this music immediately. This album is where the inspiration for Lord Quas came about and its no surprise given the excellence of this record.

Doris Duke - I'm A Loser (1964)

This album is supposed to be a depressing look at southern soul music but it honestly cheers me up.

Regardless of the subjects this album is amazing, the bass lines employed here are some of the best in soul music.
