Deltron 3030.

Hes the rapper for the gorillaz but also has/had a solo career before/during/after the gorillaz as del the funkee homosapien.

The album is a sci-fi futurism concept hip hop album.

Glad to see plenty of gorillaz in there!

Actually a lot of yours align with mine such as Tame Impala and King Gizzard. I'm gonna check out some of the others you have.

I don't really listen to specific albums, just certain artists and playlists.

I will throw in Franz Ferdinand - Hits to the head album though

CunninLynguists - Will Rap for Food

Nappy Roots - Watermelon, Chicken & Gritz

Deltron Zero - Deltron 3030

Jurassic 5 - self titled album

Lupe Fiasco Food & Liquor

If you're willing to go a bit out of hip hop you'd probably love Dijon. Our tastes seem pretty similar. I'm assuming you listen to Freddie Gibbs? If not Bandana for sure collab with madlib and it sounds amazing

Aesop rock - Skelethon

The drums are just 🤱

Love that Forever story is there as both original and extended version! Sticking to the strong lyricism rap themes Food and Liquor from Lupe Fiasco is great.

I think Eminem's latest project The Death of Slim Shady was a lot of fun and showed his talent as an artist but it's not for everyone thematically.

You should check out Psyence Fiction by UNKLE, I think you would enjoy it based on your taste for Gorillaz, and maybe Mezzanine by Massive Attack and Becoming X by Sneaker Pimps. My top picks off each album would be "Guns Blazing", "Bloodstain" and "Rabbit in Your Headlights" off the first one and "Black Milk", " Inertia Creeps" and "Mezzanine" off the second, and "Tesko Suicide" , "6 Underground" and "Spin Spin Sugar" off the third. But honestly I feel like these are just albums you gotta do a sequential listen of. Let me know if you enjoy any of them!

Actually one last one, I'd throw in The Sun Rises in the East by Jeru the Damaja, "Mental Stamina" and "Jungle Music" are solid

Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE if you wanna expand into psychedelia

Our musical tastes seem almost perfectly aligned, so I'll try and throw out a few curve balls:

1. AJR - pretty corny, but fuck if almost every song ain't a bop.
2. The Districts - A Flourish and a Spoil
3. Mansions - Dig Up the Dead
4. Stop Light Observations - oRANGE.
5. Disco Elysium Soundtrack has been my go to of late when I don't want lyrics cluttering my head.

• Public enemy - it takes a nation of millions to hold us back
• de la soul - 3 feet high and rising
• the weeknd - dawn fm
• jurassic 5 - power in numbers
• the coup - genocide and juice
• amy winehouse - frank

Robert Glasper - Black Radio

Unexpect - Fables of the Sleepless Empire

Frank Zappa - Civilization Phase III

The Algorithm - Brute Force

Devin Townsend - Empath

Miles Davis - Bltches Brew

Oneohtrix point Never - R + 7

Archive - Controlling Crowds The Complete Edition Parts I-IV

Intronaut - The Direction of Last Things

SHT GHST - 1: The Creation

Dan Deacon - America

Opeth - Ghost Reveries

Steve Reich - Music for 18 Musicians

The album Syro by Aphex Twin.

Kinda older at this point, but I still love Cadence Weapon's "Breaking Kayfabe." In 2009 he was named Edmonton's Poet Laureate.

Because you like Handsome Boy Modelling School I'd give Lovage - Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By a spin.

Didn't notice The Streets in your top 100. It's kind of in line with Gorillaz. My fave album of theirs: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Grand_Don%27t_Come_for_Free

I share a lot of those albums in my top listens! I highly suggest any album by the Avalanches (there are only 3.) Start with Since I Left You, then Wildflower, then We Will Always Love You. They're a group from Australia that kinda popularized Plunderphonics. Where they just bought a TON of old records and made songs purely from samples. Since I Left You is an amazing album that is pure samples, easily over 1000 samples were used.

Watch !sessionjams@sh.itjust.works you never know what might get posted.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. (60's Psychedelic rock, nearly all of the songs were hits, that's how good it is)

Twin Fantasy by Car Seat Headrest (indie rock)

3D Country by Geese (country rock made by a punk band)

[the future academy of noise, rhythm and gardening presents...] The Dream by The Orb. (Ambient house? Can't remember the exact genre, very ambient, sample heavy and "lush" but also dancable)

Keep It Unreal by Mr. Scruff (acid/nu-jazz I think?)

Frequencies From Planet Ten, Time Travelling Blues by Orange Goblin (two albums, stoner metal)

The Crazy World of Arthur Brown (by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown). (Psychedelic rock with rnb/soul-style vocals, also possibly one of the first narrative-based albums)

Ziltoid the Omniscient by Devin Townsend (prog-metal, one of the greatest albums of all time)

And if you want the heaviest album I've ever heard, try Snailking by Ufomammut. It's... It's something else. Basically a mix of doom and stoner metal but with sludge metal effects. Best way I think I can describe it is if Pink Floyd had been a doom metal band addicted to Lovecraft. It's trippy in a lovecraftian kinda way.

Anyway, gonna cut myself off here.

How you got not RTJ?!

Listen to all 4 RTJ albums pls

I don't see any of The Avalanches on there. All their stuff is good, but if you haven't listened to them, probably start with the original Since I Left You album.

For reference, I discovered J Dilla - Donuts when trying to find more stuff like The Avalanches.

Something different - Lorn - Just listen to everything xD

To stay more hip hop

Cult of the Damned and all of their side projects, Lee Scott is a fucking son and pretty much everything he touches is gold. My particular favourite is the "Cult Mountain" side project.

We have similar taste and you need to listen to Kalush (and Kalush Orchestra) - Ukrainian hip hop! The “Orchestra” group has more folk influences but all of it is just banger after banger. I don’t understand a word of Ukrainian but I love these guys.

Atmosphere - Mi Vida Local

After going through your list a second time, I don't see gorillaz newest album Cracker Island on it. I never thought the gorillaz would ever get close to their demon days height but I love their new album almost as much (its close, but you can't outshine the sun)

Durand Burnarr - Wanderlust

P.U.L.S.E.

Upgrade that Dark Side of the Moon.

Metallica - S&M (Symphony and Metallica)

The old one, not the newer one. It's a live recording.

Metallica and the San Francisco symphony, honestly some of the better versions of their songs are on this album. No Leaf Clover is my favorite from it.

Also, CunninLynguists - Strange Journey volume 3

I'll elaborate on artists I see here already amd recommend MF Doom's Mm..Food, The White Stripe's Elephant, and a collaboration between MF Doom and Danger Mouse; The Mouse and the Mask. The last is particularly good if you're familliar with Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

The Chronicles of Israfel - Starborn

Dream Theater - Meteopolis pt 2: Scenes from a Memory

Apex - Unleash the Archers.

You might have a crush on Logic :)

Big Boi and Phantom made a collab album.

Big Grams

Here's something unique. The album "Acheron" by Mechina.

I don't think it's in your regular taste. But it's unique enough to be a suggestion.

bleach lab - lost in a rush of emptiness

Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030

Can't see the list but basing this on the comments - I have been enjoying the new Hard Quartet album and think you might like. Rock and roll, more or less.

Janelle Monae, any of the first 3 albums in particular, but all of hers flow well.

Run the Jewels, if they aren't already in your list. Second album, but again, any.

Absolutely love the new Fontaines DC album.

Maybe try:

• The Rise of Hobo Johnson by Hobo Johnson
• Outside The Box by Hacktivist
• Jurassic 5 by Jurassic 5
• Control System by Ab-Soul
