My Best of 2008 List :: Hip Hop

Every year I, like you, troll through tons of music. So much so, that by the end of the year I've sort of forgotten about what was hot and happenin in, say, January or February. That is pretty much the case for the list that I've assembled here. Most of the releases are from the later part of 2008.

I was late on The Mighty Underdogs, so don't you sleep on them. I hope to get around to posting about "Droppin Science Fiction" in the next week or so. As the old schoolers used to say "it is dope".

Best artists and cds:

• Illa J :: "Yancey Boys"
• Roots Manuva :: "Slime & Reason"
• The Knux :: "Remind Me in 3 Days"
• The Roots :: "Rising Down"
• Black Milk :: "Tronic"
• The Mighty Underdogs :: "Droppin Science Fiction"

This short list is taken from my larger list of the Best of 2008.

So hip hoppers, let's toast to a hearty and musically fulfilling 2009! kfox.

I Could Listen to this "Again and Again"

"Again and Again" is the second single from Roots Manuva. Crazy cool jam. Nice reggae like beats; smooth delivery from Manuva and a catchy hook. I've heard a few different versions including a Matt Helders from the Artic Monkeys remix - Terrorbird gave me access to those babies.

Anyway, "Slime & Reason" is the name of the project and you can get it where ever you are copping your new music these days. I know how you hip hoppers do it; I do.
