#1 - Big K.R.I.T. - ReturnOf4Eva
Hip-hop fans, more than the fans of any other genre, are a cynical bunch. In 1979 the original emcees were convinced that simply recording rhymes would kill their culture, in 1989 the emergence of Vanilla Ice was surely the... Read Full Review
#2 - Tinie Tempah - Disc-Overy
Although rock n’ roll was a purely American creation, inspired by the blues and created in back alley clubs from Chicago to Memphis, it was the British who took the Yankee invention and truly made it global. As The Beatles,... Read Full Review
#3 - K. Sparks - Tomorrow Today
The last time I wrote about K. Sparks, way back in 2009 (did they even have the internet back then?), the prolifically productive NYC emcee was my number one pick for “wait, why isn’t he signed?” status after dropping... Read Full Review

Before you read another word about the Beastie Boys’ new album, Hot Sauce Committee Part Two, we need to take a moment to truly recognize who we’re dealing with. Forget being one of the first white rap groups in hip-hop... Read Full Review
#8 - Yonas - The Proven Theory
Buy Yonas “Proven Theory” on DJ Booth You know what people who read hip-hop album reviews love talking about? The definitions of scientific terms. (Hey, I’m here to give the people what they want). For... Read Full Review
#9 - Lupe Fiasco - Lasers
You’re seated at the new three star French restaurant everyone’s been talking about, your hot date sitting across the table. The wine is flowing freely. You order the roasted chicken with heirloom tomatoes and when... Read Full Review
#10 - Tyler the Creator - Goblin
The internet has spawned several music success stories, but none as big as Tyler, The Creator. It seems as though he and the Odd Future gang crawled out from under a sewer somewhere in Los Angeles right onto the stage of... Read Full Review
