Well, 98 and 00 were top release years.
when hints are dropped I always look at Top 40 Hip Hop Albums 1998 - Hip Hop Golden Age
and I think about all the albums that I want (need).
for 1998 the Bobby Digital, Black Star or almost any other release on that list would be cool.
On a sidenote: great that the second Mc Solaar album is on offer in your shop. I bought it on cd in 1995 on a schooltrip to Paris. It’s one of my all time favourite records.
So to other french hiphop lovers: order it asap ;)
I switched to the soul sub because the jazz rotm was a bit to freestyle for me. Got the wonderful album from Myles Sanko - memories of love. The last jazz album I received was by vocalist Gretchen Parlato-Flor and is one of the most beautiful looking releases in my collection. The cover has...
Oui, oui. But probably not. Would be insane, though. Qui Seme Le Vent, Prose Combat or Paradisiaque.
But the problems between Solaar and his label probably aren’t resolved, yet. Still not on spotify and such.
Three subs: punk, jazz, soul
good pricing and nice concept. So I subscribed (I live in The Netherlands). Because of brexit they have some delivery challenges. Gave a free record from my own choosing from their shop. So i’m totally sold now. Before even receiving one record :)
Roots Manuva - run come save me (gritty stuff for the cool guys)
Nina Simone vs. Lauryn Hill by Amerigo Gazaway (mashup with loads of melody and fugees)
Iam - ecole de micro d’argent (stunning french rap)
Speech Debelle (allready mentioned)
Joey Bada$$ - b4da$$
ocean wisdom - wizzville
to name...
