It's his debut alboum released in 2002 by Definitive Jux label.My favourite album.The first song i heard was Ghostwriter.Stuck on it for many years.A masterpiece of music from the master of sampling.Search and find the tracks that he used for his samples in Ghostwriter and you will have a beautiful journey into the history of music.Listening to The Horror you will feel like James Bond for sure.Smoke and Mirrors proves the fact that RJD2 music is a mix of many different genres.It's very similar to Moby's style.A dreamy chillout Nu jazz song i loved from the first time.Listen to Good Times Roll PT.2 for a celebration of life or The Proxy and 2 More Dead for a special relaxing time of yours.The whole album is a masterpiece and i hope you will enjoy it as i did.

The second Album of His Majesty.More instrumental,more dark,more trip hop, more genius.Here the sounds are unique but RJD2 stays in the same style for the entire album.Soul Position is a hip-hop duo and blue print is the best vocalist RJD2 has ever paired up with.Look of pain and 1 Love is my favourites but also check the jazz break in Share This and Printmatic's awesome bass.

In Since We Last Spoke RJD2 breaking a little away from its hip-hop roots.The album is full of funk,jazz, guitar riffs.Not dark as 8 million stories was, Since We Last Spoke has positive vibes and a more happy side of RJD2.Listen to 1976,Someone's Second Kiss,One day or just put all the album in constant repeat sit back and enjoy.

14. Just When
15. The Evening Gospel
The Third Hand is certainly a step in a new direction for RJD2, and he creates songs that could find some success on the radio while still maintaining a musical integrity that makes it interesting to a trained ear as well. It's the worst album of RJD2 but still has diamonds in it.You will not hear all the songs in the album that's for sure.But check Work It Out,Just When and Rules For Normal Living.
Work it out comes with an amazing video clip featuring Bill Shannon who was born with a degenerative hip condition. His legs cannot carry his own weight and so he has lived a life on crutches. He has developed a new way of moving through life on his skateboard and the crutches. Though this may look like a recreational hobby or a debilitation, it is simply how Bill maneuvers throughout the day.

The Colossus (2010)
1. Let There Be Horns
2. Games You Can Win
3. Giant Squid
4. Salud 2
5. The Glow
6. A Spaceship For Now
7. The Shining Path
8. Crumbs Off The Table
9. A Son’s Cycle
10. Tin Flower
11. Small Plans
12. Gypsy Caravan
13. The Stranger
14. Walk With Me
The multi-genre approach of The Colossus is refreshing, especially following The Third Hand album. When you're considered by many to be one of the best up and coming production gurus, you damned well better deliver something that at least uses your renowned abilities and not some kind of mid-life crisis organic "experiment". The best summary for the entire record is a combination of back to back tracks "The Stranger" and "Walk With Me", showcasing a logical extension of Deadringer highlight "The Horror" and an expansion of his newfound poppy direction, respectively.Check also the wonderfull "Let There Be Horns".
