Zongo Junction – No Discount LP
Slick Afrobeat bizness out of Brooklyn from Zongo Junction. This LP released on Electric Cowbell is an eclectic, well-versed and solid showcase of tunes that demonstrate an overall funkiness and appreciation of the roots with an undercurrent of jazzy, experimental interludes. Opaque White Vinyl. Niceness. Get it here.
Chicano Batman – Cycles Of Existential Rhyme LP
