In recent years I've enjoyed Pusha T's Daytona, Conway, some of the A.S.A.P. crew stuff and I dig Kendrick Lamar. I dig good flows and tracks that still have that boom bap. I don't really vibe with the mumbly shit.

Who's ruling these days?
well this is from 2013, but if you love wu-tang (especially gza's liquid swords) you will *love* this. its one of my favorite rap LPs from the last ten years... play it as loud as you can. inebriated, if possible.

lyrically dense, menacing plodding beats, cannibal ox meets wu-tangesque (thats a word, right?) darkness. diversify yo bonds and listen to some Brownsville Ka.

fun fact: Ka is a firefighter in NYC. a right-wing paper found out and tried to get him fired from his job because of his music. the man literally saves lives for his job.

EDIT: it was the New York Post, because OF COURSE it was. Public Enemy was right about the NY Post back in 1991 ("A Letter To The New York Post" from Apocalypse '91")

anyway, enjoy. i could only find the full album link, so if you dig it, you can score the vinyl from Ka himself for under 20 bux.

Ka is very good for that style. I love the Days with Dr. Yen Lo album, great for staring out the window into the rain.

Earl Sweatshirt obviously also killing it with the dense wordplay and art flow
