#Bandcampgold-Albums I Bought from The Mello Music Group sale by Dan-O My favorite underground label in the world had a sale. I was notified that every album they had put out was available on Bandcamp for $4.99. I cracked my knuckles and started surfing, sampling, adding the interesting albums to my cart. I love rap…

#Bandcampgold-Role Model by Michael Christmas
#Bandcampgold-Role Model by Michael Christmas by Dan-O A lot of the most profitable rappers have become quite good at positioning themselves as post-joy flat featured heavy-hangs-the-crown types. Of course it isn’t true for most of them but acting like the weight of the world is on your shoulders as you are at your sales high…

#Bandcampgold-Veib by Shane Reis & God Damn Chan
#Bandcampgold-Veib by Shane Reis & God Damn Chan by Dan-O From the stage Shane Reis has the authority of the most important guy in the properly humming kitchen of a restaurant. His music has always carried that ceaseless Joe Frazier energy: moving forward, finding optimal positioning, and getting off his best shots no matter what touches…

#Bandcampgold-The Layered Effect by Andy Cooper
#Bandcampgold-The Layered Effect by Andy Cooper by Dan-O I think The Layered Effect is the best example of a re-engagement with the core values of hip hop. We are exiting a period where anyone choosing to incorporate anything not trap/808 heavy was called “old school” in the most insulting way. The Layered Effect is not…

#Bandcampgold-Ephorize by Cupcakke
#Bandcampgold-Ephorize by Cupcakke by Dan-O I feel terrible that I just recently learned of Cupcakke. She came through on Charli XCX Number 1 Angel project (one of my favorite albums of 2017) and cleared the field on the final track (Lipgloss). By the time of Cupcakke’s next album Charli had dropped another song with her…

#Bandcampgold-G-Worthy(G-Perico & Jay Worthy) produced by Cardo
#Bandcampgold-G-Worthy (G-Perico & Jay Worthy) produced by Cardo by Dan-O Can I tell you what separates Cardo from his peers at the very top of hip hop production? The Neptunes make anyone sound cool from Kelis to Timberlake to Pusha and Malice to Britney Spears. Not everyone sounds cool on a Cardo beat. Cardo beats…

#Bandcampgold-Brick Body Kids Still Daydream by Open Mike Eagle
#Bandcampgold-Brick Body Kids Still Daydream by Open Mike Eagle by Dan-O I am so much more excited about BBKSD than my circle. Everyone likes it. People at this point have heard of Open Mike Eagle due to the breakout success of 2014’s Dark Comedy (and 2016’s huge improvement Hella Personal Film Festival). He is officially…

#Bandcampgold-Fuel City by The Outfit, TX
#Bandcampgold-Fuel City by The Outfit, TX by Dan-O Pressing play on Fuel City by Dallas rap group The Outfit, TX is like discovering Three 6 Mafia for the first time. That is not to say they are doing Three 6, this just has the permissive energy of the best crunk you can think of. I…

#Bandcampgold-Songs.4.People.Who.Break.Bread by Niko Is produced by Thanks Joey
#Bandcampgold-Songs.4. People. Who.Break.Bread by Niko Is produced by Thanks Joey By Dan-O More than anything else Songs.4.People.Who.Break.Bread is a celebration of leveling up. I have been writing about Niko Is every year since his marvelously perfect 2012 Chill Cosby mixtape. Since that time he has been feverishly releasing material, touring, and playing his position. He’s…
