DU Hip Hop fans - recommendations please!

I'm looking for some new hip hop albums, I've been playing the reissue of "People's Instinctive Travels And The Paths Of Rhythm" by A Tribe Called Quest lately, but I'm definitely looking for something new (and preferably the last few years). Is there anything out there that's as good as Kendrick Lamar's "To Pimp A Butterfly", or Lupe Fiasco's "Tetsuo & Youth"? Or pretty much anything by the Roots?

1. PRobably nothing as recent as you ask

but I dig:
Louis Logic
M.U.R.S.
Organized Konfusion
Nujabes
Dalek
Jeru tha Damaja - "The Sun Rises in the East" is a great album
Madvillian (Or really anything MF Doom does)

Now bear in mind that these are suggestions from an old white guy who mostly listens to death metal but somewhere along the way I picked up some very knowledgeable friends who turned me on to the hip-hop underground. I love older stuff too but I'm just now learning about most of it. Liquid Swords, Enter the 36 Chambers and Illmatic are 3 of my all time favorite rap albums.
