So who is young and making smart ("conscious") hip-hop right now? Like, who is the modern equivalent of Talib Kweli, Mos Def, and that crowd? (If that's even a reasonable question)

@alisynthesis I was all ready to drop D.Lights on you and then I realised the album is ten years old already! 😅

@jamescooke yeah this album is as good as it gets. Definitely putting this in my collection. What a fucking unique sound.

@alisynthesis FYI I first heard it on FIP about ten years ago. Some of my most special discoveries are from that radio station - and they’re a big part of why I always recommend radio for music discovery ☺️

@jamescooke oh nice, thanks, I'll definitely put that in my radio rotation!

It blows me away that no one apparently knows this group. They're so great and the production is top-tier. It's unreal how much great music is being made out there.

Already bought this album and I'm listening to it from my own server. I don't want to lose track of this one. Thanks for the stellar underground rec!
