#MusicHistoryA-Z #musicsky Alex Smoke Electronic producer and DJ from Glasgow. He hit the scene around 2002 and is still currently active.

#5debutalbums9599 #musicsky Duncan Sheik - "Duncan Sheik" 1996 I never heard this when it was new, I think I got this when I obtained my uncle's collection. Some super mellow pop rock.

#5debutalbums9599 #musicsky Dubee AKA Sugawolf - "Dubee AKA Sugawolf" 1996 This wasn't as strong as some of the other releases from his crew in this era (Mac Dre and Mac Mall come to mind), but this is still a good 90's Bay Area album. Khayree was a really good producer.

#5debutalbums9599 #musicsky Dr. Octagon - "Dr. Octagonecologyst" 1996 Greatest comeback in hip hop history? Potentially. Kool Keith's reinvention with this concept album is still unlike anything else, even to this day.

#5debutalbums9599 #musicsky Do Or Die - "Picture This" 1996 I don't know how popular this was outside of the midwest US, but this was HUGE when it was new here. This was the debut of Twista's new improved flow and name change, and people ate that up. Definitely set the stage for his later success.

#5debutalbums9599 #musicsky DJ Shadow - "Endtroducing" 1996 It's not like this was the first instrumental hip hop album, but there was something different and special about this that was immediately apparent. Just a completely unique to the rest of music history, listening experience.

saw Greyboy Allstars in concert last night, and man, Karl Denson is just so fucking talented..... everyone in the band is, obviously, they sounded great.... but yeah Karl is just astounding

#musicsky www.mixcloud.com/ryanbirch54/... new music you don't want to miss, featuring: Childish Gambino, Fivio Foreign, 41, Jae Skeese, Big KRIT, Sauce Walka, Stalley, Curren$y, No Remorse, Rakjay, Dusty Ohms, Shygirl, X-Coast, Dave East, Scram Jones, Rico Nasty, Boys Noize, and much more...

#MusicHistoryA-Z #musicsky Alex Seidel Electronic producer and DJ from Berlin. His career was pretty short lived. I only know of releases from 2015-2017.

Living in the US, I never heard that term until a different discussion about the same group educated me in the 00’s. It’s not a known term over here. I’m assuming their group had a different meaning and were just as in the dark about it as everyone else here

#5debutalbums9599 #musicsky DJ Honda - "DJ Honda" 1996 Great debut from this Japanese DJ and producer. Guest list is insane: Gang Starr, Redman, Grand Puba, Sadat X, Common, Biz Markie, Tha Alkaholiks, and more...

#5debutalbums9599 #musicsky Delinquent Habits - "Delinquent Habits" 1996 Solid debut. I had a friend back then that LOVED this album and played it all the time, and rehearing it today brings me right back.

#5debutalbums9599 #musicsky Dark Sun Riders - "Seeds Of Evolution" 1996 Brother J's first post X-Clan album. This is not bad at all but also not good enough to stand out in a crowded field.

#5debutalbums9599 #musicsky Cyco Miko - "Lost My Brain! (Once Again)" 1996 Solo debut from the singer of Suicidal Tendencies. This this pretty decent, more back to his punk roots soundwise after Suicidal's sound veered almost all the way into metal by this point.

#5debutalbums9599 #musicsky Cibo Matto - "Viva! La Woman" 1996 It makes me sad already knowing that this isn't going to make my top 5, the field is just too crowded. I consider this a classic album though.

#5debutalbums9599 #muscsky Chuck D - "Autobiography Of Mistachuck" 1996 Not really much different from Public Enemy, there's just no Flava Flav.

#5debutalbums9599 #musicsky Chino XL - "Here To Save You All" 1996 Definitely a unique album, both from a lyrical and production perspective. His hot take, almost tabloid style of punchlines wears a little thin, but there's no denying his talent.

#5debutalbums9599 #musicsky Cella Dwellas - "Realms N Reality" 1996 These guys had a couple gimmicky singles and I think were largely dismissed, but this is a tight album. They kind of come off as a cross between Das EFX and Heltah Skeltah. The production is really great, mainly done by Nick Wiz.

#5debutalbums9599 #musicsky Butter 08 - "Butter 08" 1996 One off side project with the ladies from Cibo Matto and Russell Simmins from Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. This isn't going to be troubling my top 5 or anything, but this is a really fun album.

#5debutalbums9599 #musicsky Busta Rhymes - "The Coming" 1996 Crazy good solo debut. I think this is still his best album.

#5debutalbums9599 #musicsky Blahzay Blahzay - "Blah Blah Blah" 1996 I don't know what their story is, why they put out this great album and then kinda disappeared, but this is tight.

#5debutalbums9599 #musicsky Big Syke - "Be Yo Self" 1996 This dude was set up for success, he could have just rode 2Pac's coattails and had a good career, if he was any good at all. This album is turrible.

#MusicHistoryA-Z #musicsky Alex Reece Electronic producer and DJ from London. He started around 1992 and was releasing music until about 2015. Was one of the first few drum n bass artists signed to a major label.

#5debutalbums9599 #musicsky Big Noyd - "Episodes Of A Hustla" 1996 This seemed disappointing when it was new due to the short length (it's a long EP in my mind, but nowadays albums this short drop every week), but really the beats Havoc has on here are just as good as the ones for Mobb Deep.

#5debutalbums9599 #musicsky Beyond - "Comparison" 1996 Solid debut from the rapper now known as Musab. First album released on Rhyme Sayers. First album I ever heard by a local Minneapolis rapper. Super low budget, but Ant's production was unique and has heart.

#5debutalbums9599 #musicsky Beth Orton - "Trailer Park" 1996 Assuming this counts as her debut. Really great.

#5debutalbums9599 #musicsky Belle & Sebastian - "Tigermilk" 1996 Awesome debut by an awesome band.

#5debutalbums9599 #musicsky Beaver - "13" 1996 Stoner rock from Amsterdam. Nothing mind blowing but definitely a good listen.

#5debutalbums9599 #musicsky Bahamadia - "Kollage" 1996 Stellar debut. Her soft yet commanding voice is perfect for this production by Gang Starr (both Premier and Guru have dope beats on here), Da Beatminerz, The Roots, Ski (the guy that did Camp Lo's stuff), and N.O. Joe from Rap A Lot.

#5debutalbums9599 #musicsky 11/5 - "Fiendin 4 Tha Funk" 1995 Decent debut from this Bay Area gangsta rap trio.

#5debutalbums9599 #musicsky Wilco - "A.M." 1995 I think I enjoy this early stuff more than what they eventually became.

#5debutalbums9599 #musicsky Twinz - "Conversation" 1995 One and only album from these guys. I honestly kinda forgot about this. Another one like The Dove Shack where Warren G was trying to put his crew on and they were trying to capitalize on the success of his album. This is only ok.

#5debutalbums9599 #musicsky Tricky - "Maxinquaye" 1995 Definitely a solid solo debut. I didn't appreciate this when it was new, but I grew to enjoy it over the years.

#5debutalbums9599 #musicsky Thurston Moore - "Psychic Hearts" 1995 Solid solo debut for sure.

#5debutalbums9599 #musicsky Three 6 Mafia - Mystic Stylez" 1995 This album was largely ignored, and even ridiculed by people when they saw the record in the store back in the days, but this eventually became one of the most influential releases of the era, years later. Ahead of it's time for sure.

#5debutalbums9599 I think this is going to be the hardest one for me..... I wasn't prepared for how many good debuts there are. My list of "serious contenders" is like over 30 already

Since everyone is posting their Star Wars hot takes today, here’s mine. Mandalorian and Solo are better than everything else. Also, the prequel movies and the cartoons were lame as fuck.

is MIA trying to say she illegally voted in a US election? 😆 how are you a "republican voter" when you're from the UK? dumbass.... I know there's never any logic in any of this stuff, but goddamn...

#MuscHistoryA-Z #musicsky Alex Newell Actor and singer from Lynn, Massachusetts. They started around 2009 and is still currently active. They are the first non-binary person to win a Tony award.

#5debutalbums9599 #musicsky Tanner - "Ill Gotten Gains" 1995 I didn't hear this when it was new, and I have no idea when/how I obtained this, but this is a cool rock album.

#5debutalbums9599 #musicsky Squirrel Nut Zippers - "The Inevitable" 1995 Awesome debut.
