Right guys, I'm a total hip-hop rookie, so please don't go flaming me if I sound retarded. Recently been digging Kendrick Lamar's new record and The Weeknd's stuff (although I realise he's not hip-hop in the purest sense at all), can anyone recommend me some recent stuff with a similar vibe to them? Cheers

Edit: I've had a quick perusal of the essentials list, but which are closest in atmosphere to the two I mentioned?
