Before Outkast got big and released hits like "Aquemini" and "Stankonia", they dropped this gem of an album. "ATLiens" has been my jam for the past few weeks now. It's a great album, featuring top notch rapping and dope jazzy beats. The first five or six songs are perfect, but really the entire album is awesome. Do yourself a favor and give it a listen.

Perhaps the best solo Wu-Tang release? It's debatable, but this record is definitely up there. Anyways, this album has some real bangers and does a pretty good job mixing in some pretty bad ass samurai movie samples. RZA's production and GZA's rapping are both really solid (although GZA does sound a bit tooooo relaxed at times). Plus, the art work is beyond dope. Check it out if you haven't already:

Yeah. You should buy it too.

Second post! I hope to keep the blog musically varied, so here we have Big L, another one of those fantastic east coast 90 rappers who flew under the radar. This was his only release unfortunately,before he passed away like any good rapper. Anyways, L drops some really sick rhymes and pretty much kills on every track. I would have to say his flow and lyricism even rivals that of Biggie. If you haven't heard this yet, check it:

As usual, if you dig it, buy it!
