Apollo Brown - The Left Gas Mask (2010)
Gas Mask is a dish record full of usual flavors + that special something Apollo Brown seems to bring to every project. If you’ve listened to more of his stuff than I have, you might even have some idea of what the secret spice/ingredient is. I don’t pretend to know...I might even prefer not to know. The mystery is part of the appeal. He’s doing something you know (the beats consistently remind you of what you were listening to when Hip Hop meant
head nodding, not dancing) yet it still feels current.

Dam-Funk - Hood Pass Intact. (2010)
Dam-Funk — pronounced Dame-Funk and born Damon Riddick — got his musical start behind the scenes. After laboring through the ’90s as a session keyboardist for a succession of West Coast hip-hop darlings — Westside Connection, Master P and MC Eiht and Compton’s Most Wanted — Dam-Funk turned his attention to the spiraling, groove-saturated funk of the late ’70s and early ’80s. He began throwing an acclaimed series of ‘Funkmosphere’ DJ parties in Los Angeles, vinyl-only affairs concentrated on gems from Parliament-Funkadelic, early Prince, Slave and Zapp.
Dam-Funk, 38, made his solo debut with 2009’s five-LP, two-CD ‘toeachhizown,’ which collected praise and blog buzz for its full-bodied, mid-tempo grooves, insistent drum machine beats and flowing synthesizers. He ingratiated himself to the indie crowd with a widely circulated remix of Animal Collective’s ‘Summertime Clothes.’
He makes a digression on this year’s ‘Adolescent Funk,’ turning back the clock with a collection of funk jams he crafted while still in high school. Recorded between 1988 and 1992, it shows that even at the tender age of 16, making music with an inexpensive Casio keyboard and a Radio Shack microphone, Dam-Funk was well on his way to honing the modern funk style that’s become his trademark

J Dilla’s Donuts Performed by Stray Phrases (2010)
It’s a jazz trio called Stray Phrases doing a live rendition of Dilla’s Donuts LP in full
in a bar in New York. It’s worth checking out even with the yammering from
the audience who won’t Shut The Fuck Up.
Ghostface Killah - Apollo Kids (2010)
Apollo Kids is Ghostface Killah’s ninth solo LP, and that does not include the several albums he’s collaborated on, such as a handful of Wu-Tang LP’s or anything with his numerous affiliates. After Ghostdini: The Wizard Of Poetry In Emerald City, longtime fans were a little disappointed at the album’s R&B focus, especially dropping right after Raekwon’s Only Built For Cuban Links 2. No matter, the excellent Wu-Massacre LP followed, and Ghost turned out a new back-to-basics LP with Apollo Kids.

Kev Brown - Open Mic Knight
Kev Brown drops more exclusives on his Bandcamp with this
2000 effort entitled Open Mic Knight. It’s always great to hear
an artist’s early work to gain perspective on how far they’ve come.

Coultrain-The Adventures Of Seymour Liberty (2007)
Seymour Liberty is not the typical R&B/Soul offering as it gives the listener multiple looks and feels that meld into one of the most refreshing male debuts since D’Angelo’s Brown Sugar. Libertydoes not fall victim to the trite neo-soul formula despite what some might consider familiar aesthetics. Coultrain is able to offer the listener spacey and experimental vocal and musical arrangements that sit alongside more acoustic and organic ones.

Freddie Joachim - Quick
Freddie Joachim is starting the year off proper with some nice soulful goodness. Granted, this was released on his Soundcloud on Christmas Eve, but I’m just now coming across it is late pass worthy. But even still, this makes me excited to hear what he’s got coming in the following months. Bring it on!
