Thanks. Checking Wiki as we speak. Been a bit out of touch with Hip Hop over the last few years, and feeling a renewed interest in 2022.

Thank you very much for that! I was a Hip-Hop kid growing up but unfortunately I’ve been out the loop for a long time now. Listened to both the Danger Mouse and J Rocc albums from start to finish today and absolutely loved them both

Also had the playlist on shuffle and when Droog came on I legit thought it was Nas

Not sure if you’d know, but when his debut EP dropped in 2014, there were a lot of people convinced it was Nas using a pseudonym - it was a little internet conspiracy theory for a while with people speculating about why he’d done it.
There’s a similarity in tone and cadence (and certain pronunciation), but YOD has got his own style to me.
Glad to hear that people have enjoyed some of the recommends.
Here’s another little pearler from this year that didn’t make my list:

Guess that settles it. My kids are getting the privilege of watching me opening self-wrapped packages of records for Christmas while they slurp their lukewarm cups of noodles.
Great chart. Loads I didn’t know.

Nice. Thank you. Plenty of new to me tunes in there. Which based on the ones I do know are bound to be ace.
