And that's high praise, because 2015 was a great year for hip-hop.

Truthfully, I could put together a respectable top 10 list for 2018 from what's already been released this first quarter.

Anywho, in no order:

Jean Grae and Qulle Chris - Everything's Fine
Phonte - No News Is Good News
Elzhi and Khrysis - Jericho Jackson
PRhyme - PRhyme 2
Evidence - Weather or Not
Murs - Strange Journey Into the Unimaginable
Roc Marciano - Rosebudd's Revenge 2
Black Milk - Fever
Czarface & MF DOOM - Czarface Meets Metal Face
Vic Spencer & Sonnyjim - Spencer For Hire
Dr. Octagon - Moosebumps: An Exploration Into Modern Day Horripilation
Apathy - Widow's Son
Chuck Strangers - Consumer's Park
Le$ - Texas Rattlesnake
Curren$y - Parking Lot Music & Spring Collection
OC - New Dawn
Odd Mojo - Channel Your Mojo
Awthentik - Nothing More, Nothing Less
Meyhem Lauren - Glass
Westside Gunn & Mr. Green - Flygod is Good All the Time


Also, haven't gotten around to listen to the new Skyzoo yet. So I didn't include it. Also need to listen to Planet Asia's Golden Buddha.
