Halfway through 'Gangsta Party', yeah this album rules.

I liked the sound of that at first, but it quickly felt like someone yelling in my ear too much, does he have other modes?

Guess I like it when people yell in my ear (unless it's Imagine Dragons or something).

lol, it could have been my mood, I'll try it again some other time

The DJ Muggs/Rome Streetz is way more laidback.

no

Tbf if 'Move' is supposed to be a Ludacris callback, he's nowhere near as shouty as his predecessor (and that's a good thing, too).

very much digging the new album from austin rapper-producer wiardon. he's simultaneously nervy and laid-back, very mature for his 18 years, and fluent in a lot of production styles.

Fuck, I'm old.

wiardon was born in 2002

yeah wiardon is very good

he's produced for mavi, baby smoove, lucki,...

nice hawk sample

another vote for Duke Deuce based solely on Coming Out Hard; will be listening to this album today

speaking of memphis, new young dolph & key glock collab is out today. my favorite of the non-singles is this key glock solo track

you already know what this (armand hammer + alchemist) sounds like and damn it sounds good

https://armandhammer.bandcamp.com/album/haram

This is bound to paint me as a neo-backpacker or whatever, but Armand Hammer is the current hip hop act whose albums I look forward to the most.

this one strikes me as a cut above even his very good average

The Alchemist? 'Cause AH is Billy Woods & Elucid, who also rule individually, of course.

I meant Billy woods really I guess

Elucid says 'ouch'.

love me some armand hammer but the best album released this week is

suprise! i love the alchemist/armand hammer

i think they bring cool things out of each other, alchemist gets a little more out there and it's cool to hear them in a more conventional production setting

didn't see this elsewhere but curious to thoughts. i think I love it

Sheldon Pearce ( former Pitchfork current New Yorker writer editor) calls Alchemist “one of hiphop’s greatest producers ever” in his little New Yorker review of Armand Hammer “Haram.” I like Alchemist style but am not sure if he’s in top pantheon. What do you all think?

he's been a fixture for two decades and he's arguably having his greatest (critical) success now, idk where i'd put him on my personal list but he's worked himself into the conversation

I really hate ranking shit, but I definitely think the last decade has done a lot to make his stock rise

and in retrospect he's definitely part of what led to the whole new east coast grimy underground shit - griselda, mach hommy, roc marciano, the god fahim, etc etc etc, hell daringer's whole sound

one of my fav alchemist beats

He's very resilient, he went from producing street hit singles in the 00's to middleground albums nowadays.
Gotta respect that. But greatest producer ? No.

i took pearce's "one of the greatest" to translate roughly to "top 50 or so"

will never say no to funky, paranoid, l.a. street shit

whole project by comptonasstg is pretty good, tbh (vicious road 2 riches)

new redman song is good as hell lol
