I always love finding an album that know one else has heard of that is ridiculously solid and good. Anyone have any gems from lesser known artists that they would like to share. I am pretty tapped out and looking for some new stuff. I will go through my collection when I get home and build on this. Peace

Artist - Charizma & Peanut Butter Wolf
Album - Big Shots
I'm not sure if it was popular wherever your at, but it's a classic album to me. It sounds a lot older than it is. The way I understand it, it was recorded around 1990, but not released until the early 2000's.
Track 05 - Red Light Green Light

Thanks for the tip. I know about the ]video[ tag but was juss saving space, thinking there may be many vids on this page eventually. Check the iTunes or Amazon previews of Big Shots or listen to everything they've done for free at grooveshark.com.

Absolute classic to me too. I'll add these: INI - Center of Attention
Scienz of Life - Diggin' In The Archives
Blu & Exile - Below The Heavens
Y-Society -Travel At Your Own Pace (if you liked the INI joint you will also surely like this)
Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy - Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury
Percee P - Perseverance
Edan - Beauty And The Beat
Brother Ali - Undisputed Truth
Aesop Rock - Labor Days
Saul Williams - Saul Williams
Antipop Consortium - Shopping Carts Crashing
King Geedorah - Take Me To Your Leader (it's MF DOOM but he barely even raps here. It's more featured artists -- including MIC artists, specifically MF Grimm -- on some of DOOM's best beats). And if you can handle super-experimental shit... Dalek - Abandoned Language

Forgot to mention Cannibal Ox (they only have 1 album and I forgot the name) Also, I've been meaning to check "Funcrusher Plus" by Company Flow. The tracks I've heard thus far are dope and I want to hear the rest. If you hear them first let me know if it's good.

Quote (EYAR15) Shad - when this is over
The Old Prince is a much better starting point for Shad. Very accessible album. Cyne - Evolution Fight
They have other great albums (Time Being and Water For Mars) but no matter what listen to the song Pretty Apollo from Water for Mars. Song of the Year '09 no doubt.
