New Albums Makin’ Some Noise in the cblounge

Okay hip-hop heads, I am here to give you the 411 regarding three fresh albums that have been bumpin’ in the lounge and really raising my spirits. I downloaded these gems from emusic.com. They are also available from iTunes.


Danger Doom - “The Mouse and the Mask”

This is a long-awaited collaboration between MF Doom and DJ Danger Mouse, two foundations of hip-hop. The beats and licks on this joint are amazing and solid. Has old school flavor. All of our favorite characters from Adult Swim have their own bits. Special guests include Ghostface, Cee-Lo and Talib Kweli. A must have for your hip-hop collection.


Blackalicious – “The Craft”

This is the third record from this West Coast duo, and they just keep getting better and better. This record is much more rock influenced and the rhymes will simply blow you away. Tip: you must check this record out!




Wu Tang Clan – “Think Differently Music: Wu-Tang Meets the Indie Culture”

A nice collaboration bringing 3 members of the Wu Tang Clan (RZA, GZA, and U-God) together with a slew of backpacking MCs. Classic Wu beats with the dark and gloom we all love. Production is flawless.
