Hip Hop and Modern R&B thread

My first foray into this great thread. I live in Canberra, Australia and meeting anyone here who’s into quality Soul Music is a rare thing!
Nice to get advice on records to get.

Here’s 3 albums that are on my favourite list.

Superb Chief, a great song.

Keep em coming.

Fat Freddy’s Drop are a great band. Have you listened to the rest of their releases?

Cheers

Yeah, I’ve got all their albums, haven’t seen them live though - they’re meant to be fantastic live.

I like this Chief, what a great voice!!!

Love Jill Scott. I’ve see her perform in London at Shepherd’s Bush twice in the past - a fantastic experience both times. I wish she would come back…

Nice one Richard, would love to see her live, I’m pretty sure she’s not come to Oz.

Might be the right place, but maybe not.

Great reviews for the new Raphael Saadiq album.

His last, Stone Rollin’ is a fav of mine.

Looking forward to having a listen.

FKA Twigs - Magdalene

Bought this today. A cracking album and a little more accessible than her first.

There are some amazing tracks on the album, this was my introduction to RTJ and I’ve not moved onto any of their other stuff yet. Love the heavy bass!

ChiefChirpa I can honestly say I’m excited for you to listen to the album. I’m a whole album listener, sometimes a track skipper, but never on this album. Going to get the above album, I’ve never seen it before. I’m terrible at finding other albums people have done, not really an internet person so I tend to only get what I see in the shops

Loving this !!! Hard to pin down as any particular genre (R&B, Soul, Hip Hop) They have been the backing group for Chance.

Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment - Surf
