no.9: The Price of Tea in China

My favorite new albums of the year (redesigned):
.
no.9
Artists: Boldy James & The Alchemist
Album: The Price of Tea in China
Top Track: “Giant Slide”
.
Boldly James’ slow building tempo coupled with his crime filled B-movie depiction of Detroit and The Alchemist’s sublime sampling creates one of grittiest albums of the year.
