Not sure if anyone around here is interested, but Kirby is crowdfunding her 2020 debut EP, Sis. An excellent soul and funk project, produced and backed by Homer Steinweiss and The Menahan Street Band (which features members of Holy Hive, The Dap Kings, Antibalas, Budos Band, The El Michaels...

I've been going back and forth with Fana Hues on social media about her album for a few months. In like January she said a vinyl pressing would be coming soon. I wanna say about month ago she got the test pressing... Then when VMP interviewed her a couple weeks ago, I asked if they're gonna do...

Pretty sure I know who the next rising artist is. I wish they'd hurry up and get the record into the store, I'm so excited to add it to the collection! How long does it take to press records after the test pressing is approved?

Exactly. Late stage capitalism. I loved the scene. Absolutely abhor this crap.

Do you know about the warez scene from the early 00s? The mp3 ripping groups? This seems like a modern day reincarnation of those. From what I gather, these groups came together around the sneaker and streetwear scene which has been existing on the "limited drop" model for a decade or more. Cook...

Yeah. He said they're going to work on getting more pressed. That he didn't expect demand to be so high and didn't want to be sitting on a bunch of unsold product. Also said he doesn't want people to pay the crazy resale prices. I'm really glad to have gotten this record when vmp first released...

Carlitta Durand, best known for her work with Little Brother and The Foreign Exchange, released a fantastic r&B album late last year. Just over 2 weeks left to back the project. https://qrates.com/projects/22477-kismet-green

Final piece of the puzzle arrived today! Thanks @Crabbers! I can't wait to give this one a spin later on this evening! Shabaka is one of my absolute favorite artists right now and I'm excited to finally have this one in the collection!

Sounds like I should start at the beginning lol. Was there a particular reason you chose Future Flora over the others?

I'm so excited to see what this is! Black Flower is so great! I'm already putting my friends onto it, and I'll be exploring the rest of their catalog soon! Have you explored their other albums? Where do I go next?

Hiatus Kaiyote's Mood Valiant is at the top of the list along with Kendrick

Happy it finally arrived Santee! Happy Holidays and merry spinning!

Hey Santee, Me again. Your second package was supposed to arrive on Tuesday. It hasn't. There's still a chance it arrives today, I guess, but. I'm not holding my breath. Damn.

Oh hey Santee, I know I've been silent, but part 2 is scheduled to arrive on Tuesday. My fingers are crossed. I'll unmask then.

So I've been listening to Black Flower since Friday. Wow! Great album! And I don't know if I would have ever stumbled upon that one. And I didn't even realize that Kokoroko was a curated pick from you as well! I legit thought that one was on my wantlist lol. I'd literally had it in my hand at...

Thank you so, so much! I've never done an NG or VMP forums Secret Santa before this year and I'm thrilled about this! That's so cool that you took the time to browse my collection and find something that I may like based on what's there! I'm so appreciative! 🍻

Santa arrived today a full week ahead of schedule! Thank you so much! This is a amazing! I've been eyeing Kokoroko for a while now and I've never even heard of Black Flower before now! So I'm excited to give that one a spin this afternoon. Decided against looking them up so I can go in blind...

I can definitely understand that opinion. It's definitely a much more polished album... feels like they went in with the idea that this would be, like you said, his masterpiece. And it's definitely a great album. I think that Blanco Facil is a more charming project though. And it came out around...

Love seeing Chetes on there. Blanco Facil was one of the tough cuts on my list.

Hey Santee, I hoped they'd ship together but that's not happening. First half is on it's way.
