If war came in your headphones, this is what it would sound like. Spit Gemz is the quintessential street poet of our generation. This man combines the highest level of intelligence and wordplay making this the best street album/mixtape this year.
Red Eye definitely has an argument for the best mixtape of 2012. This mixtape is tough. Really tough. The beats are big and the rhymes are raw. There are also tons of dope guest shots on this project as well. Lots of replay value on this joint.
Juan Deuce’s first project, No Sweat, is a winner. Juan Deuce is an artist all unto himself and can not be duplicated. This project is absolutely unique. And ‘unique’ in this instance means…fresh.
DMP offers the most traditional of mixtapes in this year’s awards. Lots of short but dope cuts on this project from a group of Virginia emcees back by Nottz behind the boards. Good music to saturate your eardrums in.
Do you want a mixtape to bang and knock in the whip? Our Sandpeople brethren brought you some ill music in 2012 and perhaps none more sick than OnlyOne’s Cult Classic.

SPIT GEMZ’S WELCOME TO HELLZ GATE IS HANDS DOWN THE HOTTEST DISC OF THE YEAR! THIS MAN IS FAR BEYOND HIS YEARS, AND COMPLETELY UNDER HEARD! I CANT SAY UNDER RATED FOR THE SIMPLE FACT.. IF HE WAS HEARD HIS RATING WOULD BE UNPARALLELED. I BANG THIS DAILY! AND I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THE FOOT PRINT MY NINJA LEAVES IN THE TRENCHES OF HIP HOP!
