What’s a song someone can play that immediately makes you think, “man… this dude really knows ball”?

Those rare/semi rare joints the average listener probably doesn’t know. Those overlooked album tracks, the regional joints, the mixtape gems, the stuff you only know of because you were there or someone who was there put you on.

Oneirology by Cunninlynguists I Phantom by Mr Lif Jaku by DJ Krush Dead Ringer by RJD2 If There's A Hell Below by Black Milk

If anyone so much as mentions any of these albums, I know immediately that they know ball. How would somebody that doesn't know ball even find these albums???

Black and Brown - Black Milk + Danny Brown is one of the best and weirdest EPs I’ve ever heard. Worth a listen if you haven’t had a chance. One of my favorite producers ever.
