The rap Jack Bauer stays calm on No Fury. It's his remix of one of The Slow Twilight leftovers. The Black Keys sample almost approaches the blues but keeps restrained, so does Zilla. Honest, suffering but unbending. Absolute gold. It's up to 7 plays on my computer already and it gets better each time.

Fashionably late?
B.o.B is pretty cool. He's not blowing me away like Zilla Rocca, Kneel Knaris or Elucid are but I'm glad he's doing his thing. Anyway, it's been out for a while but I only just got around to checking his B.o.B. vs Bobby Ray mixtape, half rapping, half singing. He definitely has a good pop ear. It's light, it's fun, it's worth a listen.
Playing Catchup
I must confess that initially I was a bit dubious about some of Elucid's latest stuff off his forthcoming The Sub Bass Diet. What can I say? I was wrong. They're definitely worth chewing on and listening to on decent headphones.

Nosaj Thing
It's not quite hip hop but Passion of the Weiss has gotten me into Nosaj Thing. I don't tend to listen to much electronic stuff but I really dig his music.
Check out his song Heart Entire and his remix of 50's I Get Money.
You can read a bit of a writeup on him here.

No I.D. on D.O.A.
No I.D. talks about coming up with the D.O.A. beat. Worth watching just for his line at the end of the clip:
At the end of the day we all gon' sit back and eat breakfast in Hawaii.

Tornts ft. Billy Bunks - Mute That Hole
Tasmania punches well above it's weight when it comes to Aussie hip hop. No one can come near Tornts and Bunks for clever, dark, dirty and nasty rap. Tornts rhymes with words that aren't there and with Bunks makes Tha Liks sound sober.
