Torae - "Shakedown"
Torae's For The Record boasts a who's who of producers with the highlights coming from DJ Premier, Large Professor, !llmind, Nottz, Diamond D, Pete Rock, Marco Polo and this ridiculous banger from 9th Wonder. Damn 9th came hard with this beat and Torae eats it alive. The album is straight lyricism with head nodding production from some of the all-time greats. For The Record isn't going to change your life or change the way you listen to hip-hop, but it's definitely worth adding to your collection. Cats are making my Best of 2011 list very difficult to make. That list should be up soon. Gotta get through a few more albums and give everything a once over and then I'll have it up and ready.
