These are rather dated, but as good as the day they were released.

Cottenbelly
Sweetback (stage 2 is a mixed bag, their first is spot on) Why they haven't toured is beyond me????
Wax Poetic - Nu-Blu sessions does me better than their first which is still pretty decent.
Single Gun Theory - they kinda lost me on their third release(through machismo faults of my own). First two are essentials. Forgive me if you've run out and bought these. CORRECTION: Releases two & three are essentials. Realized this after revisiting these guys yesterday.
