The Left - Gas Mask. Just randomly came across this album that came out less than a month ago and all I have to say is thank god. It's real hip hop, in its purest form, and you don't find albums like this very often, definitely none that have come out in years. The whole album is awesome so here's a couple random tracks off it. Enjoy.

Yes dude, fucking great post. I stumbled upon Apollo Brown maybe two years ago but I had no idea he was part of group. +k to you

For those who really like the beats, here's a mediafire link to Apollo's instrumental album 'Skilled Trade': http://www.waxpoetics.com/

Also to the op, I know it's really frustrating in this day and age to be a fan of Hip Hop with thousands upon thousands of awful tracks being pumped into the media circuit. With that said, you can find real Hip Hop even now, it just takes a little more effort and maybe even some luck. A good start is a journalism company called Waxpoetics. They constantly write articles on new artists and albums that will never be heard by the majority of music listeners, if you want good Hip Hop this is a good place to start. http://www.waxpoetics.com/

Another source that I use is Zion I. AmpLive constantly posts great Hip Hop, Zion I is still producing amazing music, and if you follow who they are working with you will begin to notice a much larger network of incredible underground Hip Hop. Here is an example of some brand new shit that fucking rocks and a link to their website (new album drops so soon!) :

Thanks dude, I've been trying to dig through the more mainstream blogs (2dope, nahright, etc.) for awhile now to find good stuff maybe once a week... I knew there had to be some REAL good hip hop blog somewhere so hell ya.

Sounds kinda like Guru, then again not. Same style maybe. I love this 'cause it sounds like it's from the 90's.

Holy shit.

Blu and Exile is just as good and pure in my opinion, not as hard though.

Pretty dope. The beats aren't doing it for me as much but still pretty solid. Also, is that Bubbles rapping, haha.
