I don't think Corbin / Spooky Black's voice resembles Sampha's at all. If anything, it resembles King Krule's.

what's the name of the corbin album? i've never heard of the guy
Yes mate! I am obsessed with her at the moment too. Something really sexy about her as well. I'm like the new EP, but it's definitely a bit different from previous works. It has more of a trappy-er sound, more swagged out with her being on her "gangsta" tip, a departure from her earlier Urban Jazz sound. Her Mancunian accent is great too. Will definitely check out S4U.

Okay I took a crack at this. Tried to strike a balance between stuff I consistently go back to and stuff that I think everyone should listen to at least once. Alphabetical order by artist name.
The Alchemist - Russian Roulette
Cannibal Ox - The Cold Vein
Danny Brown - XXX
De La Soul - Stakes is High
Digable Planets - Blowout Comb
GZA - Liquid Swords
Kanye West - Yeezus
Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid Maad City
Lauryn Hill - Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders
It looks a little fuckboyish, but I like what I like.
Edit
Trailer looks... not great. Hope the movie comes out better.
Didn't mean to make light of serious mental issues, my bad.
All good dude, we all gotta be able to laugh a little in order to take away some of the power of those mental issues. One of the most effective ways of dealing with my obsessions/delusions is to have my friends poke fun at the absurdity of my thoughts (not in a malicious way). This allows me to relax and view my thoughts as separate from myself, and therefore not defining who I am.
I fuck with the latter half of this Corbin tape alongside the title track
everything else was wailing where the lyrics didn't leave me with a strong impact and the melodies were kinda whack too, but this latter side of the tape is really really good
and I think the similarity people are finding between him and sampha are because they have the same singing style. They both wail and use their throat similarly in conjunction with the proper exhale you need from singing.

OTW apparently. They're working on it now and I'd expect a reactivation next year or late this year.
Dunno what Des' been smoking not to see the similarities.

Probably my favorite track on there
You fit right into this thread bless up
Even if he had the exact same voice it doesn't mean they make similar music

Just an aside, Des, I listened to the two albums you recced:
The Larry League didn't do much for me, unfortunately, but I'm really liking this Drain Gang compilation. It's the perfect mix of autotune, heavy vibes, and competent rapping.

Bless up for the listens alone though.

I think Kendrick is going to start receiving backlash soon, Damn being overrated/a poor follow-up, this whole XXXtencacion mess, I wonder what else will happen.
Nope, he could get away with far worse and people love Damn

This couldn't be more wrong.
Damn might be overrated, but nobody but us hardcore music nerds really give a shit and even then, it's a minuscule group yelling that. And more importantly about the X stuff, Kendrick might get some backlash about that, one or two awkward interview questions about this, but at this rate, he's experienced enough & popular enough to have some top-notch PR folks on speed dial who will help him deflect the shit out of that.
Nothing is going to happen to him, and he's going to be Your Resident Inexperienced Rap Fan's favorite rapper till the day he dies.

Kendrick just released the biggest album of his career, and probably the best (which isn't saying much). Sold out arena tour, double platinum album that will be triple platinum soon, #1 song, multiple songs charting still...he's not going anywhere. And white critics are in love with him. Literally. Which is weird because normally critics highlight rappers who elevate the genre and Kendrick hasn't done that. Compared to Kanye what impact does he have on rap music, the direction of of the genre, etc? He's like the least influential "great" rapper of all time.
TLOP in stores now.

Only way that wears off is if he records a track with Nickleback, R. Kelly, Lostprophets, and Varg Vikernes entitled "Fuck America".
And even then it might go platinum.
