A free album (Chrome Children, Vol. 2) from the genii at Stones Throw Records, available for download.
Most of the tracks feel like the outtakes they are — background music and soundscapes. But hey, you can’t beat free. Recommended: Aloe Blacc, Clifford Nyren, the Jazzistics (yet another YNQ pseudonym), Madlib’s two video-game-themed instrumentals, and (best of all) Roc C’s “Living in the City.” (Which samples this.)

Another good Stones Throw release. I need to get Peanut Butter Wolf's "Yo! 45 Raps" classic mix when they make it available for sale on their web site...
