Okay, time to #AskFedi because search engines are shit now and this is driving me up a wall
A rapper sampled the #BlackStar performance (usually referred to as "What Is Beef") from Chappelle Show back in 2003 and made part of it a chorus for a song. Anybody remember who it was? I'm reasonably certain it was a song from between 2010 and 2020. Not many more clues than that right now. Should have favorited the song when I first heard it, but I didn't. Meh
New By Storm single 'Double Trio 2' is wild, experimental, has that sax, 
as always

Fine Arts Militia - We Are Gathered Together (2003)
Fine Arts Militia is a band formed by #ChuckD, best known for seminal #HipHop group #PublicEnemy. They’ve only released this one album, a potent mix of Chuck D's forthright vocals, more #SpokenWord than #rap, over a rock-solid #RhythmSection and searing #guitar as aggressive as any Public Enemy missive.
Not a weak track to be found here, but this one, “A Twisted Sense Of God Pt. 2,” sure hits.
(And to think how mad we were THEN...)

After going through literally all of Yung Lean's albums and side projects yesterday, there's good stuff all over the place on both his LPs and mixtapes even early on - but he's been growing, refining the style. In my opinion, his 2020 LP 'Starz' is probably his best studio album so far, and even better than THAT might be his excellent 2022 mixtape 'Stardust'. Incredibly well produced, evolved-- and again, I'll be psyched to hear his new record Jonatan in May.
This one might be kind of an acquired taste, but once it has its hooks in, well..
Yung Lean (Jonatan Aron Leandoer Håstad) is a Swedish (experimental) rapper and multi-instrumentalist who has a new one coming this year (and the single is a BANGER, I love the weird sing-songy nature, and it's a great video, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjYkr78anZs).
I've been going through Yung's back catalog today, as I'm fairly unfamiliar. Turns out, he's diagnosed bipolar (properly medicated now), fronts post-punk band Död Mark, and also releases indie rock/neofolk stuff as Jonatan Leandoer96.
The production on this stuff is wild. I wasn't too into his first mixtape, but even by his first LP in 2014, he's really making some amazing shit. But full album wise, I feel like he really starts hitting hard around 2020's LP 'Starz'. Psyched to hear his new one 'Jonatan' later this year in May.
ALERT: NEW WU-TANG
