Added:

Barnes, Block Work: Volume 1: The kind of mixtape that sound really street-generic at first but opens-up slowly and when you least expect it. Can’t wait for some still-undiscovered song on here to show up on ‘SHUFFLE’ and blow me away.
Beanie Sigel, The Broad Street Bully: Only really listened to this once, lots of good songs and a few okay ones that could become good with more listens.
Gucci Mane, Murder Was the Case: Trying not to OD on Gucci so I’m returning to this concise, tight, official, unofficial official album.
Husker Du, Candy Apple Grey: An old favorite, want to see if it still works.
INKSTUDS PODCAST: Yosh Collective: Brandon Graham, James Stokoe, and others bullshitting on a comix radio show.
Jay Z, The Blueprint 3: There’s something deeply affecting about Jay’s approach to aging and maturing that makes this something better than it is for me, which is all that really matters.
Raekwon, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2: Clearly a grower.
Robert Glasper, Double Booked: New Glasper is really good, still wrapping my head around the vocoder weirdness of the second half.
Suga Free, Street Gospel: Watched the DVD DJ Quik: Visualism and was reminded of this minor classic.
Various Artists, Huntsville, AL: The Rocket City: Still revealing rewards. Another one perfect for ‘SHUFFLE’.
Z-Ro, Let the Truth Be Told: Duh.
Zomby, One Foot Ahead of the Other EP: This is pretty bad, but I’m going to give it some more listens.

Removed:

Gucci Mane, The Movie Pt. 2: Just trying to take a Gucci break.
Mercyful Fate, Melissa: Can only listen to “Into the Coven” so many times.
Metallica, Kill Em All: A classic, but just not what I want to hear right now.
Mount Eerie, Wind’s Poem: Boring. Sorry Phil.
Today is the Day, Sadness Will Prevail: Really, just too intense to listen to.
Willie Isz, Georgiavania: Strangely, this works better as an album but I’ve listened to it enough that at this point, I’m stripping it for parts when it comes on ‘SHUFFLE’.
