Amie Street’s Hip Hop Shopping Spree
We've got something very special for you today. While you were kicking back on a long weekend, we've been prepping the hottest end-of-summer digital shopping spree you could ever ask for - today we are debuting dozens of albums by some of the best indie Hip Hop artists in the game. Don't hesitate for a second, these prices won't last.
What makes Get Dirty Radio so intriguing is not so much its free-flowing radio concept than it is the incorporation of both old and new, East and West. [PopMatters]
Ruff Draft is a rare solo affair that captures him in the midst of furious, creative burst and change in direction. [Los Angeles Times]
the Nappy Roots creative formula has been paying off for years now, giving rise to an underground following courted through tantalizingly belligerent flows, intuitive hood analysis, and PA-melting beats. [NappyRoots.com]
Much like the city it comes from [Detroit], this album is oozing with originality and style. Phat Kat serves up an album that captures the maturity of a seasoned veteran and utter freshness of a stimulating debut. [Drop Magazine]
...FAB won't just get hyphy for its own sake. He knows how to record megawatt, street-certified slaps, and does so with finesse, but he inhabits a unique lyrical worldview where club songs can get deep and Pac rocks a Jansport. [The FADER Magazine]
Mac Dre came out of this world on top with legions of fans who feel a special, personal connection to the man called the "Crestside Clown." [MetroActive.com]
Thes One is so dedicated to vinyl that even his bathroom is decorated with classic soul and jazz albums. His nostalgia for the classics is pervasive throughout this record, and you can smell the 80s scent of linoleum, blunts and vinyl as he brings the rare grooves on song after song. [Pitchfork Media]
Whether it's encouraging the current generation of Hyphy youth in the Bay Area, or making moves in his more recent home, the ATL, $hort has stayed current like few of his veteran status have managed. [AllHipHop.com]
Hip hop's hope for uniting the underground and the streets. [SF Weekly]
Andre Nickatina is in a league of his own in that he is able to combine the hardness of gangster rap with innovative and socially conscious lyrics. [Clout Graffiti Magazine]
The strangeness of the samples coupled with the surprisingly good mixture of hi-fi and lo-fi productions gives the whole album an otherworldly quality that I'm still discovering. [Stylus Magazine]
Madlib and MF Doom team up for an intensely blunted, shambolic masterpiece. [Rolling Stone]
