Buried Gems 1

This is generally why I wanted to make this blog, to spread the word of lesser known artists and albums, as a large portion of good hip hop isn't particularly well known, my blog won't change this, but it DOES provide me with an excuse to talk shit, which is all that matters.

A
Akinyele - Vagina Diner (1993)
A full album of Large Professor production and COMPLETELY RANDOM shit from one funny motherfucker? This is a must hear.

Akrobatik - The EP (2002)
The epitome of underground hip hop; raw boom bap production, skillful lyricism and a few shitty songs. You could do a lot worse.

Arsonists - As The World Burns (1999)
A six man crew who knew before they even wrote their verses that commercial success would allude them, so they opted to create an underground masterpiece, gritty boom bap and unpolished delivery with more lyrical ability between the six of them than half the South combined.

Artifacts - Between A Rock And A Hard Place (1994)
New York Mid 90s at it's finest. Well, it's not exactly Illmatic or The Infamous but you won't regret at least burning this.

I'll probably go through each letter of the alphabet and point you in the direction of some good obscure shit over the next month or so, meaning that I'll reach Z when hell freezes over and then subsequently melts into a small red puddle.
