chocolate industries is excellent.
however, i have to say that i am so far thoroughly unimpressed by what lex
has been offering. i've picked up the lexoleum 1 & 2 samplers and the new
boom bip 12" and they are all on the weak side, IMO. except for the boom
bip track on lexoleum 1, which is absolutely rockin - i love the strings on
that track.
i don't really have any other labels to recommend, but two artists to check
out are l'usine icl and dabrye.
everything i've picked up by l'usine icl i've really enjoyed. it's not
always hip-hop, but his hip-hop type stuff is definitely what i like best.
i haven't picked up his latest full length, "iron city," just yet as i'm
waiting for skimo to offer it on vinyl, but i hear it's pretty fresh.
dabrye just put out a 12" called instrmntl on eastern developments that is
simply excellent. it really is just intstrumental hip-hop done right. he's
also got a cd on ghostly international that's supposed to be tight, though i
haven't heard it myself. eastern developments is scott herron's label (aka
prefuse73). if the dabrye 12" is any indication of where this label is
going, it's definitely one to watch.
