Rapsody's God Gotta Afro & Gold Hoops deserves inclusion in any genuinely broad independent-minded roundup.
The record connects hip-hop with African musical influences and includes appearances from George Clinton and Malice.
Indie coverage becomes much less useful when the word is treated as shorthand for white guitar bands, and adventurous rap belongs in the same discovery conversation whenever the music and release culture justify it.
This is one of the weekend's records worth crossing genre boundaries for.
