THE ROOTS - UNDUN
Executes it's concept beautifully. An album that so accurately and vividly portrays this life of crime and street hustling. Every performance is immaculate, and Black Thought brings his A game here

EARL SWEATSHIRT - SOME RAP SONGS
Brilliant and poetic take on a subject many had tried to tackle for years. Every song is so lyrically relatable and the rough and lo fi production really enhances the disorientation theme of this album.

CLIPSE - HELL HATH NO FURY
One of my favorite albums of all time from one of my favorite genres of all time. Pusha T, Malice, and Pharrell are in rare form on this album. Every hook is catchy, and it's filled with genius verses in between.

Big K.R.I.T. - 4eva is a Mighty Long Time'
My favorite double album ever. Starts out with hard hitting bangers and slowly smooths out into extremely jazzy and soulful introspective tracks that give the album a layer of depth

Danny Brown - Atrocity Exhibition
Danny Brings his A game on this one. Flowing and rapping so well over these unexpected and off kilter instrumentals. Danny's lyrics are extremely grimy and dark, but have a lot of personality as well.

OutKast - Stankonia
This is their most forward thinking and ahead of it's time album they've ever put out (and that's saying a lot). It doesn't have a single skip and even the skits are very funny. All very high quality stuff.

J Dilla - Donuts
What inspired me to start making beats. Every song on this album is brilliantly composed. And somehow Dilla takes a machine as static and cold as the MPC 3000 and makes the most human music I ever heard.
