[2013 Year In Review] Shey & Kibbe's Picks From 2013
It's always hard at this time of year to put together an end of year list. Last year we opted just to not do a list at all. This year we thought we'd do share our personal favourites and stand outs from 2013. None are in any particular order and by no means are we snubbing any who aren't listed. These selections simply represent the records we've constantly had on since their release. Albums that we've truly championed. We considered ranking a vat of albums that would include ones we didn't care about, but it doesn't feel very "us" to do that anymore. Each come with a little tid-bit about why we've put them in our top 5. We also have a few honourable mentions, because narrowing down the albums we've listened to most over the year was tough. So without further ado, make the jump and check out our picks for 2013. Or don't, I think between the rising popularity of Buzzfeed and the time of year you all may be suffering from list fatigue.
[Watch] Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip - "You Will See Me" (Official Video)
Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip return with another visually stunning clip for their lyrically heavy track "You Will See Me" taken from their recently released album, Repent Replenish Repeat. The video is a cool look into Pip losing it in a small room, before time seems to wind backwards while moving forwards too. It's rather cool. It fits nicely with Pip's passionate commentary and along with Dan Le Sac's ever building beat it makes for a pretty powerful watch. Check it out below.
When released last month, their album got to number one on the first ever Independent Record Store Chart and to celebrate that they're doing something a little special. On December 16th the pair will release the single on a limited run of vinyl that is exclusive to Independent record stores so keep your eyes peeled for that. The track will also be available digitally. Alternatively you could just buy their album and get a whole heap of awesome instead of just a little bit of awesome? In early 2014 you can catch the boys on the road which I'd highly recommend you do. Dates can be found after the jump.
[Watch] Run The Jewels (Killer Mike & El-P) - "Banana Clipper" Feat. Big Boi (Official Video)
The pairing of El-P and Killer Mike is always something to stop and stare at. Your parents may have told you that was rude when you were a kid but trust me, when something this good comes around, your jaw was meant to be left open as your eyes begin to water for staring so hard. R.A.P. Music was a prime example of this. Their collaborative name of Run The Jewels have just dropped a car filled clip for the Big Boi featuring track "Banana Clipper" which just makes me wanna be able to rock a yellow bandana and rap. I've tried it before and it was not a good look. I gave people a reason to stare for all the wrong reasons. While it may not be as cinematic as one of my all time favourite videos from them ("Big Beast") it's certainly an easy watch.
Watch the clip courtesy of Complex below and if you're in Europe, you may just be lucky enough to be visited by the magical duo in the coming weeks. Dates after the jump.
