I'm still very much an Underground head, despite the fact I'm very much visible in The Reason . .
Stonesthrow Records is still a regular music site for me, BamaLoveSoul for that Nubian Soul ish, Domeshots & Fat laces for very rare and Internationally made mixtapes, Amazon for bargain CDs (£0.01 LOL, been buying loads of 90s RnB records alongside rap, nostalgia is a bitch) . .
Yeah so we still alive and rocking!!!
I'll check out those sites, I miss HipHopLinguistics.com, I used to have a high affinity for the music posted there and since he stopped posting, I grew apart from what I guess was my real grail.
Lol at 1p CDs! Hahaha great to hear from you dilla :tu

Yea for me, underground all day..with some old school tracks here and there. Still working on finding something that satisfy my IT career path.
Musically, anything that I check out on Producers I know or from word of mouth. Bandcamp has been my best friend for quite some time and I'm still working on my album list. But due to this heavy job seeking mission, its been rough. But good to see you coming back!
Keep at it Trae! :tu You'll find your path soon, I'm sure!
Props Trae, it's good to be back. Just hoping for something to really spark our creative juices and get us all going crazy again for independent hip hop.

I may also have to add Foreign Exchange's last couple albums, that track you posted is addicting!
Definitely, what do you think of the Zo! track? His album's out soon, Sy Smith looks to be FIRE!

It's all love @ruffdraft...
Like @rip.dilla been living in "The Reason" recently.
I dropped a thread a little bit back, but no one checking for it.
@traestar you have been holding it down with your Album thread. Good looking out.
Still rockin' underground tunes and old school tracks. Shit you not; just picked up Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock 1st album.
And you have to check the "CZARFACE" shit is dope...
I'll check out your thread @achewon87 :tu Props on posting.
The Reason had one or two mature threads the other day, which was good.
@traestar, I've noticed that your thread's been up there, keep meaning to check it and will head in there shortly :tu
Hahaha that's amazing @ Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock!!! Props on that one…
I'll check that, was looking at it over at UGHH (Has that site lost its fans?) didn't seem to have as many positives as usual over there, but I'll definitely check it now that you've recommended it :tu
I think we need to start making threads on the albums that we're checking for in 2013… I will start once I've checked a few of these out that I've just picked up!
Props again to everyone for still checking The Essence despite my lowest period of posting… it's all love as you say and I love the board and wish I had the spare time that I used to enjoy. Appreciate you all being willing to share, I've discovered many gems here in the past and my musical path wouldn't have been as fulfilled without The Essence.
Thank you.
