Monkeymarc - As The Market Crashed (2009)
Some great instrumental hip-hop coming to you from the far off far away land of Australia, although it sounds like it could just as easily have been made in New York or L.A. This is a collection of solid beats with crisp production, that is tied together with some subtle political commentary that weaves in and out a few of the songs. The instrumentation and samples are unique, the beats nod your head hard, and the atmosphere is futuristic and nostalgic both at the same time, producing a memorable listen from start to finish.
RIYL: Blockhead, RJD2, DJ Signify
An absolute joy to download.
Cool, Australian hip-hop without the bogan accent.
I don't know how many times I've listened to it. Buying it tomorrow and spreading the word. Love it.
