Roots Manuva - Bleeds (Deluxe Version) (2015)
||| Category: Hip-Hop
||| Release Date: Oct 30, 2015 / 2016
||| Label: Big Dada Recordings
||| Produced by: Four Tet, Adrian Sherwood, With You, Fred
Roots Manuva возвращается со своим девятым альбомом после четырехлетней паузы. Big Dada описывает "Bleeds" как самый эмоциональный и сильный релиз исполнителя со времён его классического "Run Come Save Me".
Делюкс версия увеличила альбом вдвое благодаря бонусам и ремиксам.

Description:
Not only one of Britain's greatest musical artists, but one of the greatest lyricists full stop, Roots Manuva is back with a dazzling new album, Bleeds. Past collaborations with everyone from Gorillaz to the Maccabees to Leftfield to Coldcut to the Cinematic Orchestra, Rodney Smith's influence can be heard right across the musical landscape. Now, with his sixth studio album, he has made his most concise and focussed record to date, his most emotionally affecting and powerful release since his breakthrough, Run Come Save Me.
Drawing upon production assistance from young British producer, Fred, together with musical heavyweights Four Tet, Adrian Sherwood and Switch's new production team, With You, the title of the record is, in the man's own words, an "egocentric jest of daring to do things in the tradition of Jesus: I'm ready to bleed for the artform." It is, of course, also a reference to the way in which genres, in the sonic world of Roots Manuva, have a tendency to bleed into one another, so that hip hop, reggae, techno, funk, neo-classical, all blend together to create "liquid soul, the blood, the bleeds that paint infinite sacred wonders in our dreams and unfold in our day-to-day."
One of the true pioneers and originals of British music, any album from Roots Manuva is an event. When it's as good as Bleeds it's one of the musical events of the year. Both genre-defying and deeply rooted in what he describes as "the culture of Bass and Verb," the record innovates and consolidates in equal measure. Rodney Smith describes himself as "a British Black musical Mark Rothko" and Bleeds is another masterpiece from this abstract wordsmith.

Drapht - Seven Mirrors (2016)
||| Category: Hip-Hop

||| Label: The Ayems
||| Produced by: Dazastah
Drapht - уже ветеран австралийского хип-хопа, правда и начал заниматься музыкой он в довольно раннем возрасте, чему поспособствовал отец джаз-барабанщик. Свой первый альбом рэппер из города Перт выпустил в 2003 году, до того был участником масштабной банды Syllabolix. Пик его карьеры пришёлся на 2011 год и релиз "The Life of Riley", с которым Drapht достиг золотого статуса и выиграл самую престижную музыкальную премию Австралии ARIA Music Awards в категории "Best Urban Album", которая обычно достаётся Hilltop Hoods. "The Life of Riley" стал первым релизом лэйбла The Ayems, который Drapht основал в том же 2011 году. "Seven Mirrors" - первый с тех пор и 5-й по счету альбом рэппера

Компиляция классики от Nature.

The Kleenrz - Season Two (2016)
||| Category: Hip-Hop
||| Release Date: June 10, 2016
||| Label: S/R
||| Produced by: Kenny Segal
The Kleenrz - это союз эмси Self Jupiter из Freestyle Fellowship и продюсера Kenny Segal, вместе они трудятся на славу LA абстракт-андеграунда как минимум с 2012 года, когда и вышел первый одноимённый альбом их группы на совсем молодом тогда Hellfyre Club. Отличный круг знакомств Self Jupiter обеспечил достойный список гостей "Season Two".
Description:
On June 10th, Los Angeles hip hop group The Kleenrz (Self Jupiter of Freestyle Fellowship and Kenny Segal of TeamSupreme) are back with their sophomore release Season Two. The Kleenrz have put together another record that falls in the dark film noir setting of their debut, constructed with an uncompromising lens over Los Angeles culture. The Kleenrz will release Season Two on vinyl and digital formats June 10th with The Order Label and there’s a lot in store. Season Two picks up right where their debut ended, splashing fresh paint on the canvas and heating things up through raw lyricism and organic production. 12 new episodes full of blood, mystery, and mayhem, served with the freshest of hip hop styles you can find from this era.
Described by The Kleenrz themselves, “Season Two is left coast, Southern, dark, messy, beautiful, inventive, cool, fun and frothy. However, as always with our music, there’s always nuggets of truths wrapped in with horror that reflects what we see and hear everyday.” The lyrical storylines on Season Two were solely written under the guise of Self Jupiter. Kenny Segal lays down creatively disturbing sample interludes, dynamic multi-instrumentalism and head nodding snare and kick drum. It’s all formulated under a lush scheme of cohesion between the two that touches every corner of hip hop and builds on the creative luminance of their first venture.

MarQ Spekt & MOBONIX - Bionic Jazz (2016)
||| Category: Hip-Hop
||| Release Date: August 19, 2016
||| Label: HiPNOTT Records
MarQ Spekt - видный рэппер с тяжелым флоу, живущий сейчас в Атланте. 19 августа он выпустил два коллабо альбома, один из них "Bionic Jazz" с эмси из Майами MOBONIX. MarQ Spekt, настоящее имя которого Marcus Marlon, всю свою карьеру, начавшуюся ещё в 90-х, стремился к неформатному и поандеграундному яркому звучанию, так что всегда было что послушать и на альбомах его групп Broady Champs и Invizzibl Men, на сольных записях и, конечно, на совместном с Kno релизе "Machete Vision" (2011). А сейчас снова полетят стрелы в HiPNOTT Records, потому что всё, что сделал MarQ Spekt (да и многие другие) с этим лэйблом за три года можно слушать или не слушать, ничего от этого не изменится. Искренне надеюсь, что что-то изменится к лучшему, тем более у HiPNOTT в этом году уже были хорошие выпуски.
Description:
Bionic Jazz is a freeform hip hop album with a concentration on an unorthodox, somewhat experimental, but wholly organic feel. It's reminiscent of when jazz musicians would just pick up their instruments and play freely without worrying about the confines of what was the expected norm. In addition to MarQ Spekt and MOBONIX, the album features various musicians and producers (from the likes of Lex Boogie, Blockhead, Koredebt, Kool AK from The Micranots, Bean One, and The Metal Fingered Villain Doom) coming together to break down the barriers of today's current musical atmosphere.

Banks & Steelz - Anything But Words (2016)
||| Category: Hip-Hop, Alternative
||| Release Date: August 26, 2016
||| Label: Warner Bros. Records Inc.
Временно закончив с кинематографическими экспериментами (не подумайте, что он перестал сниматься в эпизодах) RZA вернулся к музыкальным. Почему не записать альбом с музыкантом из инди-рок группы, тем более тот не прочь? - Видимо, не найдя пару напрашивающихся ответов на этот вопрос, RZA так и сделал. После синглов, мне не понятно, как это может оправдать себя, разве что сорвав несколько восторгов критиков, не слишком обременённых духом хип-хопа. Но будем надеяться, что Paul Banks из Interpol действительно хороший музыкант, и только RZA будет звучать неуместно на этом альбоме, а может быть даже не всегда.
Description:
Banks & Steelz, a musical collaboration between Wu Tang Clan's RZA and Interpol's Paul Banks, have announced that their upcoming debut album will be titled "Anything But Words" and will be released on August 26th. It features special guest appearances by Florence Welch of Florence + The Machine, Kool Keith and Wu Tang Clan's Ghostface Killah, Method Man and Masta Killa.
RZA and Banks first began working on music together in 2013. RZA told Rolling Stone at the time that the idea to collaborate with the Interpol frontman sparked after RZA's manager asked him who he wanted to do an album with.
"When I met Paul, I recognized the New York energy he has as a music artist," RZA says. "We got to know each other playing chess and vibing out in the studio. Our talents connected in a unique way and we started writing songs. The outcome was something distinctively different from my previous work, yet with another layer of cool."

Red Pill - Instinctive Drowning (2016)
||| Category: Hip-Hop
||| Release Date: August 26, 2016
||| Label: Mello Music Group
||| Produced by: Ill Poetic
Второй альбом Red Pill, разворачивающего сольную карьеру на фоне своего участия в громком проекте Ugly Heroes. К дебютному альбому "Look What This World Did to Us" в 2015 году рэппер добавил ещё и пару EP, а в 2016-м работа над очередным альбомом группы не помешала ему подготовить и собственный релиз, с которым ему очень помог читающий продюсер Ill Poetic, ранее работавший с Blueprint, Illogic, Blitz The Ambassador и др. Обложкой альбома послужило фото бабушки Red Pill, которую звали Mabel.
Description:
"The cover photo is a picture of my great grandmother, Mabel. She, like my own mother, died young after years of struggling with her demons. This album is dedicated to my mother, Jody, and my great grandmother." - Red Pill
Consider yourself lucky if you can’t empathize with Red Pill. No one
channels bleakness better than the blue-collar Michigan MC, whose
sophomore solo LP for Mello Music Group, "Instinctive Drowning" plays out like the ghost of Bukowski on a snarling bender. His songs are lifelines for the doomed, death letters written for fatigued skeptics,
the anthems of an existence precariously balanced among a fifth of gin and a loaded .38 revolver aimed at the temple.
The album title doesn’t come from some glib “sad boy” gimmick—it’s an allusion to his unstinting depression and chronic alcoholism. The
saddest stories are usually the most honest and almost no one is more honest than Red Pill. His music is his own atheist confession booth. "Instinctive Drowning" unravels as a litany of fear and loathing:
rooted in the worry that his afflictions are genetic. Many others in his close family have suffered their own battles as well. Pill’s own mother passed at 45 from alcohol-related issues. If he ends up next, the album might as well serve as his requiem.
There is “The New Normal,” which chronicles his bout with viral
meningitis, a disease practically alien to those in their late 20s,
save for those whose livers are already ravaged. After two weeks of
vomiting and vows to quit drinking, Pill finally recovered and went to
the liquor store. “Club Privilege” is a club song for people who would
sooner kill themselves than go to the club. It doubles as examination
of white privilege, where Pill acknowledges the absurdity of his
self-pity, while starting brawls and screaming at bouncers.
There is “Fuck Your Ambition.” It is what it sounds like: a rejection
of white-picket fence ideals that never really existed. It lampoons
the Horatio Alger myths, the lies about self-sufficiency and the way
Capitalism has created a slovenly class of consumers. It could come
off as self-righteous, but Red Pill is never above the fray. He’s the
condemned marching alongside us, suffering for our sins, chewing on
stale pizza crust.
Virtuosic Ohio native, Ill Poetic, handled production. The co-owner of
San Diego’s Beat Box Records ceaselessly trawled his own bins,
sampling forgotten art-punk 45s to foreign psych-funk. From there, he
enlisted his Ohio band and a a wide range of musicians and
singers to add their seasoning. The music is equally comforting and
unsettling, eerie and familiar, offering the ideal contrast with
Pill’s lyrics—creating something with soulful depth but raw grit.
Of course, there is a paradox at the heart of this record. For an
album that courts death so closely, it manages to be oddly
life-affirming. Maybe Pill is an optimist after all. There is the
still the slight hope that he can escape, the notion that by writing
these songs he can somehow heal himself and help others. He still
probably will drown, but for now, few can float this well.

||| Category: Hip-Hop
||| Release Date: Aug 13, 2016
||| Label: Iron Works Records
||| Produced by: Ka
Ka вдохновился культурой Японии и записал альбом... (с кем-то это уже было), а в целом он продолжает делать своё дело, всё также хладнокровно. Это четвёртая сольная пластинка рэппера и продюсера из Браунсвилля, приплюсуем сюда и прошлогодний коллабо проект "Days With Dr. Yen Lo" в сотрудничестве с Preservation.
Description:
Honor Killed the Samurai is the Brownsville’s rapper fourth solo album following from last year’s Dr. Yen Lo collaboration with Preservation.
As hinted at in the title, the new album takes inspiration from Japan with the rapper noting on Twitter that he did “a lot of research” for the record and gained a greater respect for the culture.
Honor Killed the Samurai is out today, released in the same no-fanfare way Ka has used since coming to attention with 2012’s Grief Pedigree album.

Незаконченный альбом немецкого трио The Jazz Knuckles, которое составляли JuJu Rogers, Eloquent и Ill Will.

Rogers, обративший на себя внимание участием в Man Of Booom и прошлогодним сольным проектом с Jakarta, разбавил немецкий язык английским.

MKDex: Anna Morley - Treasure Pleasure (2016)
||| Category: Instrumental, Alternative
||| Release Date: June 17, 2016
||| Label: Cult Classic Records
||| Produced by: Anna Morley
После некоторой передышки всегда щедрый на инструментальные релизы и новые имена интерактивный лэйбл Cult Classic Records этим летом возобновил свою деятельность с новой силой. Довольно неожиданно, на мой взгляд, первым после паузы релизом CCR стал альбом австралийской мульти-инструменталистки, композитора и певицы Anna Morley, которая не сказать, что близка к хип-хопу. Anna живёт в Берлине, "Treasure Pleasure" стал её четвёртым альбомом с 2009 года, здесь она играет на вибрафоне, клавишных, скрипке, укулеле и перкуссии. И это далеко не полный список задействованных при создании альбома инструментов. Thomas Prime - исполнительный продюсер и активный участник записи.

Музыкант широкого профиля Heath McNease, про которого я уже рассказывал в 2012 году, продолжает совмещать хип-хоп с фолком и роком, предлагая таким образом максимально эклектичный продукт потребителям различного рода рэп-альтернатив, к которым, наверняка, в этом случае примкнут и поклонники речитатива под живой инструментал. Мини-альбом выдохновлён творчеством группы Local Natives.

Per C Wells (настоящее имя Gerome Arguello) - продюсер из Санта-Фе (Нью-Мексико), 10 лет он шёл к своему первому альбому, которым и стал "PerCeption". Rapper Big Pooh, Copywrite, Main Flow и J57 были привлечены к этому проекту.

Featuring verses from some of your longtime favorites (Rapper Big Pooh, Copywrite, Qwazaar, L*Roneous) and some of your favorites to come (just listen and see for yourself).

Chicago rapper Noname, f.k.a. Noname Gypsy, has been at the center of the progressive-minded Chicago hip-hop scene ever since she first appeared on Chance the Rapper’s “Lost”, off 2013’s Acid Rap. Noname also contributed to Chance’s latest opus, May’s Coloring Book, and she’s featured on the new projects from buzzing Chicago artists theMIND and Jamila Woods. All this time, though, she still hadn’t released a project…until tonight. Noname’s Telefone — a project that was first announced in 2013 — is finally here.
Noname surprised her fans by sharing the Telefone cover art last night, and the project can now be streamed via her SoundCloud. The 10-track release includes features from Raury, Eryn Allen Kane, theMIND, Saba, and more. The executive producers of Telefone are Noname, Cam O’bi, and Phoelix.
