1. Gensu Dean feat. Large Professor - "Forever" 2013 That is a stellar stack of records. Hip Hop education training video taught by Large Professor.
2. DJ Krush feat. Esthero - "Final Home" 1999 DJ Krush remains to be one of my (many) favorite artists. Code 4109 is my shit.
3. 14KT - "Blessed" 2012 So many of these Mello Music Group songs/artists are almost there, but, not there yet. I'm still listening because I know they are on the right track.
4. Sandpeople - "Roll Call" 2007 Some Portland shit. I would love to know the name of this record store and if it's still open because I'm all over it.
5. Akua Naru - "The Backflip" (prod. by Drumkidz + Christian Nink) - 2010 Akua Naru is about traveling around the world, fusing her own style of hip hop with the music she finds along her way; that's fucking awesome.
6. Araless - "Attention" 2014 (SEATTLE MUSIC) Produced by Goldenbeets. Keep an eye out for Araless and the rest of Filthy Fingers United, I will be sure to keep you posted.
7. Statik Selektah feat. Joey Bada$$ + Freddie Gibbs - "Carry On" 2014 The casual yet orchestrated entrance of Joey Bada$$ and Freddie Gibbs reminds me of Kendrick's entrance in "Nosetalgia" (at 1:30) with Pusha T. I love that shit.
8. Showbiz + A.G. - "Soul Clap" 1992 Fat Joe be like, "can I get a Soul Clap?"
9. Slimkid3 + DJ Nu-Mark - "Bom Bom Fiya" 2014 These guys have been making great music for more than 20 years, the pattern continues.
10. Def Dee feat. El Da Sensei - "Yeah" 2014 Def Dee pays homage to vinyl in the latest video from his new release, "Deja Vu."
