10. Piñata - Freddie Gibbs & Madlib
Every track here is precisely fine tuned to perfection, from the beyond incredible Madlib production to Freddie’s flawless flows and chilling tales. Gibbs has such an aura of invincibility and Piñata, at its best, is absolutely untouchable.

9. 2014 Forest Hills Drive - J. Cole
No one does introspective like Cole. The way he tells his story here is so passionate and positive and Cole seems hungry to carve out his own lane where no one can match him. Almost every track is a highlight but ‘Love Yourz’ is just special.

8. Rodeo - Travis Scott
An instrumental and lyrical experience. Deeply personal, detailing everything in Travis’ life from his family to his party life. He conveys the thoughts of an aspiring artist so flawlessly. The production is truly special, encapsulating in its grandeur.

7. Atrocity Exhibition - Danny Brown
A wild journey that feels like we’re running through the crazy world of his own mind, imagination and reality, documenting what he sees. The title, concept and meaning have layers so deeply poetic. This album is staggering in every single way.

6. We Got It From Here... Thank You 4 Your Service - A Tribe Called Quest
A perfect ending. Butter-smooth, sticking to their classic routes while still boundary pushing. Immensely emotional when Phife Dawg is brought up. Not a single sound is waisted, hand-crafted perfection.

5. 4:44 - Jay-Z
Not a single bar waisted. Hov’s wisdom is so prominent, kicking game throughout its entirety over perfectly sampled instrumentals. The way he peels back layers here is masterful, a side we’ve rarely seen. His flow is on point as ever, 4:44 is so rich in content.

4. Cilvia Demo - Isaiah Rashad
Immensely soulful from start to finish. Isaiah doesn’t offer a new perspective on life, but one that’s so relatable that you can’t not love it. Behind the soft, soothing vocals is a beautiful story of his come up. A touching, truly perfect album.

3. good kid, m.A.A.d city - Kendrick Lamar
The way Kendrick tells his story so vividly is unlike anything I’ve ever heard, movie-like. The conceptual narrative is crafted so precisely you can hear every detail, from the skits to the wonderful storytelling to the perfect beats.

2. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - Kanye West
It kills to not put this first. A masterpiece. A wonderfully grand, almost out-of-body, experience to listen to. The exquisite sound encapsulates the listener, Kanye’s lyrics bring you into his life perfectly. A true magnum opus.

1. To Pimp A Butterfly - Kendrick Lamar
Poetry in its truest form. This album is an amalgamation of what hip hop is. The sampling, poetry, flows and structure are so well thought out and have such a powerful feel. Timeless, Kendrick has created something beyond any description.
