Download
Bleubird is originally a rapper from Florida, USA.
This great album is his last full-lenght.
Just try this one if you dig the likes of Sole and Sage Francis style.
I saw this guy live a few times and it was amazing.
Highly recommended.
Also remind the one I posted a few times ago :
BLEUBIRD - Street Talk 2 - 2008

BUCK 65 - Talkin' Honky Blues - 2003

Download
Buck 65 is Ricardo Terfry from Canada.
This one is his 7th album under that name.
Cannot tell you a lot about him...
You can situate it somewhere between Folk and Hip-Hop.
Just try it if you liked my last hip-hop selections.
I personnally recommend.
"I want you to try a little visualization for me. Imagine if Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan were actually one person, and this one person was a rapper. Now imagine if this person had a musical vision just as indebted to DJ Shadow (and even Tom Waits) as it is to Cash and Dylan. Wierd picture, no? Thing is, it paints a perfect picture of Buck 65."
"Allegedly written in Paris, Talking Honky Blues is Buck 65's 7th album (at least, under the moniker of Buck 65, it is). He debuted in 1997 with Language Arts, after spending years working his way up to the dubiously specific crown of Halifax, Nova Scotia's most notorious b-boy. After running a radio show for a while, he scored a record deal, and found himself as one of the most critically acclaimed, if overlooked, rappers of the last 90s. Vertex, his 3rd album, almost gave him a breakthrough in its hilarious cult hit The Centaur, but it didn't. Nevertheless, more and more people found out about him thanks to his membership in various underground rap collectives (most notably the awesome Anticon). Talkin' Honky Blues represents his attempt to break out to a new crowd - it's his most expansive, immediate, catchy, and outwardly distinctive album yet. He's also employed a band for the first time, meaning the album doesn't rely so heavily on his own skills as a DJ and producer, and that he can focus on his lyrics more. The effort shows - these are his best lyrics, ever. It also means the album is more guitar-driven in places than anything else he's done, all of which makes it one of those albums will happily settle into any record collection while remaining at odds to everything around it."
