Great list, some stuff I definitely missed. Been sleeping on that Fat Ray record. Agreed about Ernestus. As for Prem, his Load Bearing Crow’s Feet has maybe my favorite woods feature on “Bardo” (produced by Evidence). And if you haven’t heard Ockham's Blazer, a jazz group with Prem on vocals, I bet its right up your alley.

Just listened to Bardo twice in a row. Unbelievable poignant and funny storytelling.

Yeah it's a great tune, just played it for the first time. Really like Evidence's production development too, he's got a new album coming up as well.

Give that Fat Ray thing a spin, I think "Santa Barbara" was one of the best underground rap albums of the past five years or so.

I’ve added like 5-6 albums to listen to from this list. Lots of interesting stuff in my wheelhouse, but out of my radar. Thanks!

Thanks, Stephan! Added Roomer, Horizon, The long goodbye, Receipts (PremRock x billy woods), Whatever The Weather, Mark Ernestus, and Eliana Glass to the queue based on your descriptions. In for an evening of music discovery :)
