I realize thats not really the case but it seems like it to me. So many dudes that i follow are coming out with new albums this year. I think its shaping up to be a great year for 'underground hiphop'.

Busdriver dropped one
Doseone is coming out with a solo album.
Its been 5 years since El-P released an album.
Its been 6 since the last Radioinactive album.
Aesop Rock has an album coming out.
Bigg Jus is coming out with his first album in several years.
K-The-I
Rob Sonic
Brother Ali
I Self Devine
MF Doom has new work coming out

Im sure the list goes on.
seems awesome.

I totally missed the news on the Aes Rock album this year. It really is a pretty crazy year for indie rap I guess.

Kristoff Krane is dropping one May 22nd, "Fanfaronade." Featuring Ceschi, Illogic, Buck 65, and Sage Francis, among others.

Super psyched for fanfaronade. Really liked the new Aesop Rock song. Dark time sunshine.

Happy to see death grips touring.

anything doomtree does is gold...except for paper's critique on El-ps new album on this forum...

The new Gift of Gab album is good. There may also be a new Latyrx album this year which should be good.

There are a few Canadian emcees with albums this year. Cadence Weapon, Wordburglar, Modulok

Damn the list keeps getting longer and longer.

I try to keep up with these so-called hiphop websites from week-to-week just to keep an eye on new shit. It seems like there isnt any major source that is keeping track of new independent hiphop on a whole.

the culture just seems fragmented as fuck nowadays.

kinda makes me miss www.hiphopinfinity.com

they put me on to so much music.
