Smart & Angry

Very Slow news this part of the season, none of the less here is some great hip-hop from this past year:

Jay Electronica - Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind

Very surreal instrumental and on point flow

Ohene - What Will It Take

I first heard about him on Allhiphop.com when Illseed posted this video and thought it was something amazing I have never seen. Then this year he released an album Inner City Soul. To be honest, the album was lacking but showed full potential as he wrote and produced all of it. I think if he follows the footsteps of Alicia Keys he could be polished and get big off of performances and nation tours. I would actually be interested in seeing him perform.

Blu & Exile - My world Is..

Another Underground Album release this year, this time from Blu & Exile. From their album: Below the Heavens, I think that this album should at least be in people's top 50.
