Zilla Rocca and Douglas Martin = 5 O'Clock Shadowboxers. They've just released their album The Slow Twilight. Zilla's liner notes call it 'noir hop'. The indie-and-rock-influenced production is sort of meandering but engrossing and of course Zilla brings it with the words. Worth the dl for 'High Noon' and 'Bottomfeeders' alone but the rest is great too. Get it. Really different. Really good.
The Outsidaz have always been among my favourites. Their humour, energy, and battle mentality were everything my teenage self wanted in a group. Check the video below and hit up Noz' post of Outz videos at Cocaine Blunts.
