Nowadays, Peanut Butter Wolf is better known as the founder of iconic indie hip hop label, Stones Throw Records. But back in the early 1990s, he churned out amazingly prescient instrumental albums like 1994's Peanut Butter Breaks. This very much feels like a close ancestor to Endtroducing... sharing a similar penchant for multi-layered sampling as well as a common downtempo ambiance. While consistently stellar from start to finish, the clear highlight is Currents, simply one of the finest pieces of instrumental hip hop ever made.
