Chilled, atmospheric, instrumental hip hop.

Looking for some stuff for late night drives similar to things like this...

DJ Shadow - Midnight in a Perfect World

DJ Shadow - Building Steam with a Grain of Salt

DJ Krush - Dig this Vibe

Teebs - Cook, Clean, Pay the Rent

Bugz In The Attic - Blue Note Revisited "Los Alamitos Latinfunkloveson...

This one is particularly fucking bad ass!!

DJ Spooky - Synchronic Disjecta

Innervisions - Mermaids

The more old school sounding, scratchy, jazzier, vibey-er, and more atmospheric with heavy hip hop beats and funky ass bass lines the better!!!

Thank you in advance,
mechanismj

I don't know if J Dilla fits that criteria, but a lot of people swear by him

You can't go wrong with Nightmares on Wax:

This album reminds me of a roof-top pool in a hotel in Rome. Chilled Peroni in-hand.... Bliss.

Definitely need to listen to more Dilla (Donuts is on my to-get list).

Some of Flying Lotus's stuff may be a good shout; this track, for example, which is a tribute to Dilla...

just happened to be listening to this...fits into the category perhaps?

I'd say definitely got that nocturnal, chilled tone nailed. Cool Stereolab sample, too.

Dilla's Donuts is an absolute classic - it just flows so well

Pay-what-you-want split release (Noah and SELA.) released by Flau Records -- I can confirm that it's worth a listen. Ambient sort of instrumental beats (I say instrumental, there are wordless vocals here and there) that I highly recommend.

Man, this is all great stuff! Really digging that Visioneers track.

I stumbled upon this album while digging around. Some good stuff on there.

Company Flow's album "Little Johnny from the Hospitul" breaks and instrumentals vol. 1 is a brilliant album. Go find it now! It's really quite amazing.

Also check out RJD2's work.

More hip-hop influenced, but fits the other criteria, I'd say.
