[Late-Night Lion]

Thanks for the Edan recommendation, starting with Beaty and the Beat and really enjoying it.

As far as stuff that I would recommend, definitely Tribe, De La, Pharcyde, Souls of Mischief, The Avalanches, Beck (mostly 90's Beck through Modern Guilt at least), The Clash, Gorillaz, El-P, Funkadelic, Janelle Monae, MF Doom stuff like Madvillain, King Krule, Mos Def, Outkast, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Rancid (if you like the punk stuff), Thundercat, and the Voidz.
