Nottz - You Need This Music (2010)

Excellent album from long time producer Nottz. He is pretty solid on the mic and the production is very good. Probably a sleeper album for most last year but hopefully not forgotten.

Ol' Buttermilk Sky

I never thought there would be so many albums named Ole Buttermilk Sky. Luckily this one isn't named that either. Another quality instrumental 2011 release.

Producer's Cut (2011)

This was recently re-released by K-Murdock with all of the skits that didn't make it onto the album originally back in 2006. It still has all of the songs and it includes 5 more skits (all of them are pretty short) that really bring the album together. Especially the Richard Pryor skits. Enjoy because I haven't seen this on the web, at all.

Meyhem Lauren - Self Induced Illness (2011)

This is a double disc album that spans about 2 hours and 20 minutes. I would say about 80% is excellent and the other 20% is alright. Still this is an excellent hip hop release with very good production and gritty rhymes from Meyhem Lauren. Definitely a quality 2011 release.

Stars - Heart (2003)

The album cover for this album is super gay looking so I posted a pic of Jesus riding a dinosaur with unicorns fighting in the background. It is much better than the actual album cover.

Anyways this album is something I love listening to before going to bed. It helps me to relax and sleep better. It is a really soft indie rock album but I love it.
