must get new stuff..

Kali

Been out of the oul hiphop scene for the past year... so any reccomendations for new stuff thats decent to my ears would be sweet..

Labels I own pretty much everything on: Quannum/NinjaTune/BigDada/DefJux (bar stuff in the past year).. as well acts the likes of J5/Ugly Duckling/Dilated Peoples etc.

About the only thing I've heard good things about is MF Dooms latest.. this worth picking up?

Yeah MF Doom is releasing quality stuff.
MM Food is a great album, add Madvillain - Madvillainy and Viktor Vaughn - Vaudeville Villain, and if you don't have it Operation Doomsday is a must have really.

Do you have Mr. Lif - I Phantom? That's a great album too, dunno what year it came out so you probably do have it.

Nu-Mark - Hands On, listening to it right now. Really funky, very good.

Immortal Technique - Revolutionary Vol. 2 is a superb album. Quite political and angsty.

Masta Ace - A Long Hot Summer, my album of 2004. All great tracks, the skits are a little annoying but easily skipped.

If you havent got it already, DJ Shadow - The Private Repress is quality, but you're a Quannum head so I'm sure you have it.

Talib Kweli - The Beautiful Struggle, not as good as his earlier efforts but still definately worth the listen

Mos Def - The New Danger, departure from his older stuff, kinda funk/rock in it aswell,

NaS - Streets Disciple, not a bad effort from Mr.Jones once you skip the annnoying tracks, takes a few listens

Havent heard the Masta Ace, but its supposed to be very good alright

Ay Cee

Get some Jedi Mind Tricks into ye...you won't be disappointed!!!

Cannibal Ox

I'll second that.

Jean Grae - This Week.
First female rapper I've ever really liked, it's a decent enough album.

Makaveli

Aye, Jean Grae is a pretty good rapper, and as for female rappers she's actually not annoying.
This Week is a decent album as you say.

Kristok

Is that the same Jean Grae who does the editorial on allhiphop.com ?!? just intrested.
