Here’s my 100 most listened to albums on last.fm for reference of what my taste is like, don’t let that stop you from recommending me things you think I won’t like though I’m trying to expand my horizons.
I also like listening to small artists, I write a series of artist features all about people less than a million Spotify listeners so if you have any recommendations for that lmk.

Deltron 3030.
Hes the rapper for the gorillaz but also has/had a solo career before/during/after the gorillaz as del the funkee homosapien.
The album is a sci-fi futurism concept hip hop album.
I love Gorillaz and have listened to Deltron 3030 plenty of times but never made the connection!
He’s also Ice Cube’s cousin
Thats a fun fact i did not know!
If you must is one of the best bloc party jams of all time.
Glad to see plenty of gorillaz in there!
Actually a lot of yours align with mine such as Tame Impala and King Gizzard. I’m gonna check out some of the others you have.
I don’t really listen to specific albums, just certain artists and playlists.
I will throw in Franz Ferdinand - Hits to the head album though
You check out Tame Impala’s live rendition of innerspeaker yet?
Better then the studio album by far, and the visuals are tight. The session starts at dusk and it slowly turns night as the album progresses.
I had not. Thanks for sharing

If you’re willing to go a bit out of hip hop you’d probably love Dijon. Our tastes seem pretty similar. I’m assuming you listen to Freddie Gibbs? If not Bandana for sure collab with madlib and it sounds amazing
Carrot Season too classic hip hop
Smino just in general. love for rent is pretty good
Love that Forever story is there as both original and extended version! Sticking to the strong lyricism rap themes Food and Liquor from Lupe Fiasco is great.
I think Eminem’s latest project The Death of Slim Shady was a lot of fun and showed his talent as an artist but it’s not for everyone thematically.
Aesop rock - Skelethon
The drums are just 🤱
I listen to several of the same rap albums as OP and I also love some Aesop Rock.
- Public enemy - it takes a nation of millions to hold us back
- de la soul - 3 feet high and rising
- the weeknd - dawn fm
- jurassic 5 - power in numbers
- the coup - genocide and juice
- amy winehouse - frank
Our musical tastes seem almost perfectly aligned, so I’ll try and throw out a few curve balls:
- AJR - pretty corny, but fuck if almost every song ain’t a bop.
- The Districts - A Flourish and a Spoil
- Mansions - Dig Up the Dead
- Stop Light Observations - oRANGE.
- Disco Elysium Soundtrack has been my go to of late when I don’t want lyrics cluttering my head.
disco elysium soundtrack is fiiiiire
Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE if you wanna expand into psychedelia
I share a lot of those albums in my top listens! I highly suggest any album by the Avalanches (there are only 3.) Start with Since I Left You, then Wildflower, then We Will Always Love You. They’re a group from Australia that kinda popularized Plunderphonics. Where they just bought a TON of old records and made songs purely from samples. Since I Left You is an amazing album that is pure samples, easily over 1000 samples were used.
The album Syro by Aphex Twin.
Didn’t notice The Streets in your top 100. It’s kind of in line with Gorillaz. My fave album of theirs: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Grand_Don’t_Come_for_Free
I can’t stand their accent (im a brit) and their lyrics have no artistry
illmatic
Something different - Lorn - Just listen to everything xD
To stay more hip hop
Cult of the Damned and all of their side projects, Lee Scott is a fucking son and pretty much everything he touches is gold. My particular favourite is the “Cult Mountain” side project.
I second Lorn! Dark ambient electronic sprinkled liberally with glitch elements is chef’s kiss.
Also would recommended Amon Tobin. ISAM is one of my favorite albums, and Lost and Found is often the song I’ll put on to introduce folks to his style.
How you got not RTJ?!
Listen to all 4 RTJ albums pls
