Nipsey Hussle: Crenshaw

You love to hear the story again and again. Nipsey Hussle shook up the game by releasing a limited amount of a 1000 albums and decided to sell them for a $100 dollars a pop. And boy did his true fans come through and even Hov applauded his new rules stance and copped a hundred himself. But now that we’re clear on Hussle’s business acumen, the question remains is Crenshaw any good?

Future “Honest”

I have to tell the truth I didn’t really connect to this joint when it first dropped in August. It wasn’t what most expected so we were quick to dismiss it. But y’all should know by now Nayvadius is a certified hit maker.

Pusha T: My Name Is My Name

It’s what you all been waiting for it, ain’t it? It was a long road to an album release date since the celebrated Clipse MC signed to G.O.O.D. Music three years ago, but finally Pusha T delivers. Inspired by 90s hip-hop, this album plays like one side of a TDK 90 mins cassette tape. You can almost hear the hisses, my nigga.

Hustle Gang: G.D.O.D.

T.I. is a free agent and until these labels get their paper up to his standards, he’s gonna offset the “Blurred Lines” appearances by feeding the underground. And you know The Kang doesn’t roll alone. He’s got a crew behind him. Released this past May, the Get Dough Or Die mixtape showcases a wide array of talent all in business with Mr. Harris.

Big K.R.I.T.: King Remembered In Time

Yeah we had issues with his major label debut, 2012’s Live From The Underground, but when Big K.R.I.T. returns to his mixtape roots, he’s unfuckwitable. Released in April, King Remembered In Time is the Mississippi Man’s tenth mixtape and he sounds as sharp and poignant as ever.

El-P & Killer Mike: Run The Jewels

The white kid from Company Flow and the ATLien offspring of OutKast form a rap group? Yeah I’m with it, I’m with it. It all began a year ago when El-P handled production for Killer Mike’s R.A.P. Music. Their chemistry was evident and thankfully this past summer they officially formed a dynamic duo named Run The Jewels and released a self-titled free mixtape.

Chance The Rapper: Acid Rap

This one is quite a polarizing release for the Rap Radar staff. Well fellas whether you like it or not, Acid Rap is the most-acclaimed mixtape of the year. It’s made the Chicago MC, a magazine cover star and the hottest free agent in this business of rap. That’s all pretty good for a kid on his second mixtape.

Meek Mill: Dreamchasers 3

Like they always do at this time: Meek Mill and fellow Philadelphian DJ Drama join forces to bring you the latest edition to their classic mixtape series. From the jump you know it’s gonna be a grand affair. Y’all know Meek loves an intro and this one includes a surprise guest verse from Travi$ Scott and appearances from two of hip-hop’s most notorious shit talkers Birdman and Diddy. Fuck they little T-Ts too, Puff? Damn!

J.Cole “Crooked Smile”

Forget having a visual that matches the exact sentiment of the song, J.Cole wanted to strike nerves and make a statement. After being moved by a viewing of Fruitvale Station, Cole decided to address the 2010 death of Aiyana Stanley-Jones, a 7-year-old girl who was shot and killed in a police raid of her home.
