Album suggestions?

[BobOblah]

Gang Starr - Moment of Truth

Reflection Eternal (Talib Kweli & DJ Hi-Tek) - Train of Thought

Hey, I just posted a mixtape in the other thread entitled 'Losing the Essence' (page 4)... it's filled with Jazz influence as most hip hop is, but will probably be to your liking. I'm also into Jazz myself.

Anyways, one Artist that I'd recommend (and you can get this online), is Nujabes. He was a Japanese producer who died at the start of this year. His music had lots of Jazz influence.

Another group I'd recommend is Jazz Liberatorz who have a great album entitled 'Clin D'oeil'. I think they're a french group, they're extremely talented. But really, a lot of underground stuff would suit your needs. Check my mixtape as I say, it'll be a good start for you.

Mos Def- Black on Both Sides
Blackalicious- Blazing Arrow (a classic!)
