This is my pick so far. I can't believe how little hype and acclaim it's been getting, especially considering it's an Odd Future release. Really, really good and consistent release.

Honestly though, I think it's sort of been an underwhelming year for hip-hop so far. I find myself looking at that Run the Jewels album as one of the best of the year, even though I was kind of disappointed by it. Really looking forward to that Clear Soul Forces album that drops next week though.

GG DOOM? C'mon man, you can't put a remix album on there. I didn't even think it was that good either. Listened to it a couple times when I downloaded it then haven't been back to it since.

Meh. I like it a lot.

yeah this year has been dry. New mgmt and danny brown at the end of the month at least

Im sure some left field stuff will pop up soon. I'm hopeful. I couldn't even get into the run the jewels project. It's the equivalent of a half-assed el-p project, which still makes it more inspired than other projects, but still.

I have some albums ill talk about thats in my top ten but i also wanna see if any random releases pop up

I liked Run The Jewels on first listen. Will be illegally downloading these albums. Is there anything half decent likely to come out before the year is over?
