Cass’ Cuts: Top Albums 2008

It’s almost 2009 and I haven’t posted my top 10 of this year yet. This week it’s all about my favorite albums. What did you listen to? What did I miss?

1. Santogold – Santogold

What a year, from releasing her nearly perfect debut album to being produced by Kanye West and featured by Jay-Z.

Cass’ Cuts: Portishead, Tricky, Darkstar, Jamie Woon & Burial

(via Ffffound.com)

Snow is covering Munich, the days are short and I find myself listening to some melancholic music. Is there anything better than Portishead, Tricky and some nice dubstep? What do you listen to in the winter time? I hope it’s not “Last Christmas“.

1. Portishead “Magic Doors”

2. Tricky “Diss Never (Dig Up We History)”

Cass’ Cuts: Busta Rhymes, Barrington Levy, Booba, Demarco & Dennis Brown

1. Dropped from Interscope, Busta is back in full effect with the official remix of his club banger “Arab Money“. T-Pain, Akon, Diddy, Ron Browz and Swizz Beatz , I don’t know. But it’s probably on heavy rotation on your favourite black music radio station anyway.

2. Another Obama song. What made this one really interesting to me was the Barrington Levy feature.
