Lest We Forget What We Came Here To Do
by Sons Of Kemet
supported by 45 fans who also own “Breaking English”
Sax + Tuba + Drum set + ANOTHER Drum set? What's not to love, here? I inhaled the Sons Of Kemet discography after hearing Shabaka Hutchings sit in with the Art Ensemble of Chicago, where he blew the house away with this one solo. This band is a great vehicle for his playing: tuba and double-drums provide ample energy but don't occupy the same sonic space, letting him shine. "Play Mass" feels like an obvious choice, but when it hits that refrain it re-wires my brain a bit.

Universal Beings
by Makaya McCraven
supported by 44 fans who also own “Breaking English”
I was brought here after listening to a live performance of Makaya's on you tube. I instantly loved the song Holy Lands so much that I had to see if the album version was the same rendition as the live one. Then I listened to the whole album! Universal Beings is a just a groove... It's a mix of traditional and something new, very nice.

Just a beautiful jazzy rap album with buttery smooth flows versed with huge talent. It's not only lovely to the ears, but the lyrics are profound and empowering about the struggles that she faces.
