Kendrick killed, I listened to Section 80 and thought it was great but didn´t really listen to it after a couple of months. Good Kid however, damn I just can´t wait to listen what he does next. Death Grips is definitely something you have to get used to (I hated them the first time I listened to Guillotine), but I kept going back because of the killer hooks and the sick beats that Zach Hill makes. Fiona Apple and Alt-J are also on my list of best albums, but I need to listen to them more. I´ll take a look at Ab Soul and Big K.R.I.T since I´ve heard good things. Action Bronson also made a great album.

Action Bronson dropped two albums in 2012. Which one did you like best? My favourite Bronson album is still "Well Done" from 2011.

I listened to Rare Chandeliers first because of the sick album cover and loved it. Right after I listened to Rare Chandeliers I went and got Blue Chips and thought it was also great, but I kept going back to Chandeliers cause I think the beats are better. So I think I prefer Chandeliers. I´ll definitely listen to Well Done though, I need some more good Hip-Hop in my life.

I think Rare Chandeliers had better production than Blue Chips as well. Also, check out Dr. Lecter (2011) that is almost as good as Well Done IMO.

I feel like I should just listen to all of Bronson´s discography now, thanks for the recommendation. What other new Hip-Hop artists should I listen too if you don´t mind me asking?
