I am definitely hands down geeked about three albums: J-Zone, Janelle Monae, and King Krule. Dopeness cubed. The new Stepkids album should be promising some more good weird/pop/r&b/funk on the Stonesthrow label. Planet Asia also comes again with a new project, fingers crossed for this one since although being one of my favorite emcee’s his stuff varies from spectacular to ehh, the little I’ve heard is very hopeful though. Trombone Shorty who came up in the jazz/brass bands of Nola drops a bit of a guitar heavy release but manages to make it a lot better than that sounds. Throw in some German instrumental hip hop, mindless guilty pleasures, what you expect from DFA, some sappy goo, and it’s a wrap.
For J-Zone I highly suggest going straight to the source-
