Brother Ali - Us - 2009 - Rhymesayers Entertainment If you haven’t heard of Brother Ali before, here is what you need to know: You need to know who he is.
Braze - Supremacy - 2007 - EMI I have wanted to write a review on this album for a while now, as I first heard it when the lead track “Uh Shook” when it premiered on Youtube last summer. “Uh Shook” features our boy Sha with a fiery hot Indian sitar inspired loop, combined with uber smooth flow and ingenious wordplay like “Heads look so shocked, the way I raise eye brows my flow not unlike Botox, you’re boys finally winning like the Bow Sox, I’m diggin  the Clubs like a Proshop, Oh Stop.”  
Coconut Records - Davy - 2009 - Young Baby Records Coconut Records is headed by actor Jason Schwartzman.  Jason known for his parts in Wes Anderson films such as Rushmore and the unreleased Fantastic Mr. Fox.   Coconut records latest project is a ten track LP called ‘Davy’.
Discovery - LP - 2009 - XL Recordings  Discovery is one part Ra Ra Riot, and one part Vampire Weekend.  A member from each band has come together to create a soft-core electro ‘hip-hop’ duo.   Although there is not actually any ‘rapping’ I think it is appropriate to incorporate hip-hop into the group’s classification.  The groups first LP, is entitled ‘LP’ and is a very interesting piece of work.  It is probably not what you would expect when considering the sounds of Ra Ra Riots and Vampire Weekend, but it is definitely worth checking out.
