Still one of my favorites out right now–even with that haircut. Though a friend that knows Mr. Brown said “if you know him, that haircut would not surprise you.” Hmm.

I want to hear sets like this ALL THE TIME
Alchemist DJs the Soul Assassins party at Diamond in LA.
If there was a spot that played music like this, I’d be there everyday.

This came out last summer but, I listen to things at my own pace. Thanks to @TSmif for putting me on to this– I like the aggressive rap these days. 1/2 of Bleu Collar, Reese1 put this out with Troublemaker as King Fantastic: Finger Snaps and Gun Claps
Check out the video to one of my favorite songs off it:

People often ask me what I’m listening to…this site is supposed to reveal that. For those that have asked, the past few weeks I’ve been listening to Danny Brown’s The Hybrid. I’ve had it for some time but I really listened to it over the break and it’s GREAT. He’s from Detroit, has some grimey raps & sounds like he could run a pharmacy.
