Macedonia's Ten To Consider From 2010

It's the end of 2010 and I only know two things for sure. The first is that I have never hated zip files so much before in my entire life. The second is that it's really a shame that I hate them so much...because they're not going anywhere.

Various reasons and/or excuses have kept me from being as active on the FMA this year as I would like to be, but here's a few selections that have served me well throughout 2010. Here's hoping that you enjoy them.

Beyond that, I certainly hope that you bought an external hard drive on Black Friday that has at least a terabyte's worth of disk space. I have reason to believe that in terms of zip file inundation, next year is liable to make 2010 look like a 256MB flash drive in the pan.

Okay, I'll stop now...

Shining Like Diamonds...

Diamond District. D.C. hip-hop at its finest...

If you like your hip-hop rough, rugged, and real, make sure to keep tabs on Diamond District.  Based in Washington, D.C., their debut album In The Ruff has been catching the ears of those that lean towards the '90s production style of the genre.  Longtime producer Oddisee is joined by X.O. and YU on the microphone, each spitting gritty rhymes over grimy beats reflective of present-day D.C.

Back in May of 2010, Diamond District visited the studios of KEXP for a live session.  "The Shining" is a good representation of what you can expect from their album.  As for Oddisee, his work ethic is tireless, constantly creating instrumentals you can't help but snap your neck to.  For further proof, make sure to stop by his Bandcamp page and take a listen to his Odd Season EPs and particularly his Traveling Man album...

I completely agree about the huge number of great tracks here. Lately I've been blown away by the fantastic musicians I never would have heard of if it weren't for FMA. Just now I've been going nuts over a bunch of Clinical Archives artists. Thanks for helping make it all happen!
