Up there for album of the year IMO. Amazing production but Ilajide really stands out.

Also check out Slave Riot by Young Jazz Rebels. Very cool left-field Hip Hop that's jazzy.

And if you already haven't, listen to Aesop Rock's Labour Days and Madvillainy by Madvillain (or any MF DOOM related project).

Not really much into rap but there's a few I'm partial on:

Beastie Boys
Public Enemy
Cypress Hill
The Roots

De La Soul and Fugees are ok too.

@Frownland, I forgot to mention with the Dose One stuff ... his project 13 & God is pretty dang good. Their latest album came out in 2011. I like the old and new alike, so whatevers clever.

Thanks Mrdood, I'll definitely check that out along with the rest of his stuff that I can find. And Goofle, I checked out that Aesop Rock album at work yesterday and really dug it, thanks for the rec.

Labor Days is my #1 pick for Aesop also. It's in my top 3 albums of all time.
