#BandcampGold-Never Hated I Just Waited by Chris Crack
#BandcampGold-Never Hated I Just Waited by Chris Crack by Dan-O Best way to think of Chicago Rap is like one of those old Shaw Brothers martial arts films. Surreal things happen, good and evil magic. Different clans represent divergent schools of thought with powers and weaknesses as specific as they are out of this world. […]

#Bandcampgold-Black Beans by Exile x Choosey
#Bandcampgold-Black Beans by Exile x Choosey by Dan-O The world makes us feel terrible. Mac Miller and Nipsey Hussle are dead. Ogres are in power and they don’t even lie to us about how old evil and full of greed/hate they are. Music is necessary, all kinds of music. Black Beans is a beam of light on the […]

#Bandcampgold-Hiding Places by Billy Woods x Kenny Segal
#Bandcampgold-Hiding Places by Billy Woods x Kenny Segal by Dan-O Biographers live in the world of their subject for years. Can you imagine? In depth talks with family, old letters, review of their work, nailing down different periods of life and what they meant. The subject has to be important enough to fuel the biographer. […]

#Bandcampgold-Cover Art by Anderson Paak
#Bandcampgold-Cover Art by Anderson Paak by Dan-O If you didn’t know who Anderson Paak was after summer 2015 I don’t think you’re a hip hop head. When Dr. Dre came out of his cave August 7th 2015 to release Compton everyone in hip hop noted it. Thumbing through the sixteen tracks listed Paak was on six […]

#Bandcampgold-Texas Piano Man by Robert Ellis
#Bandcampgold-Texas Piano Man by Robert Ellis by Dan-O Texas Piano Man is a country album in 2019. It wouldn’t be in 1973. If this album was released in 1973 it would be a part of that oddball singer-songwriter genre Randy Newman, Michael Franks, and Nilsson championed. Conceptually Ellis messes with the audience and knows he has to […]

#BandcampGold- Malibu Ken by Malibu Ken (Aesop Rock & Tobacco)
#BandcampGold- Malibu Ken by Malibu Ken (Aesop Rock & Tobacco) by Dan-O It is pretty unreal how the narrative around Aesop Rock has changed. When Bazooka Tooth was taking the underground by storm in 2003 the debate was heated. On one side the die-hards were unrelenting in their belief that NO ONE equals his mastery of […]

#Bandcampgold-Nina Simone & Lauryn Hill-The Miseducation of Eunice Waymon by Amerigo Gazaway
#Bandcampgold-Nina Simone & Lauryn Hill-The Miseducation of Eunice Waymon by Amerigo Gazaway by Dan-O I’ve written so much about how great Amerigo Gazaway is and monologued at people about him so often that finding new great things to say will be a challenge. It’s like finding new ways to tell your wife how special she […]

#Bandcampgold-Resistance by Brandon Coleman
#Bandcampgold-Resistance by Brandon Coleman by Dan-O Albums have hearts and souls. I need all of them. My favorite Freddie Gibbs album is ESGN because he was so angry at Jeezy and his old label for mismanaging him that his mind was spiraling down the most angry heinous pathways possible and some days I’m there with him. That album […]

#Bandcampgold-Malik Ruff by Quadry
#Bandcampgold-Malik Ruff by Quadry by Dan-O Malik Ruff is an album I really like. I don’t have it numerically placed on my list of year end albums yet (it just came out November 2nd) but I really like it. The project washes over you. It balances a distinct ambiance that soaks your sonic pace and tempo with a real […]

#Bandcampgold-Nostrum Grocers-Self-titled
#Bandcampgold-Nostrum Grocers-Self-titled by Dan-O Milo seems like a good dude. He lives in Maine with me and when Sorry To Bother You came here he bought out a showing so people could feel Boots Riley for the first time(get that feeling underground has had for years). The news made me feel bad that I don’t listen to […]
