Well, here we are! Our Top 10 albums from 2018. I literally listened to hundreds of projects this year so giving you a top ten was no easy task considering not only the number of albums but also the quality. And these lists are always prone to spark debate and conversation, but that’s part of the fun, isn’t it? I simply wanted to shine a light on my favorite joints this year and in part give my definitive salute as a fan to these artists and their body of work. Here we go…Enjoy!!
Rasheed Chappell – Aiding & Abetting (ft. Daniel Son x Crimeapple) (Video)
Here’s a great track from Rasheed Chappell’s fantastic album, First Brick. This track features another two artists that have been making big waves in 2018, Daniel Son and Crimeapple. There is no stopping this lineup over the production from Kenny Dope.
You need First Brick in your life!
Rasheed Chappell – My Epic (Video)
Rasheed Chappell’s new album with producer Kenny Dope, First Brick, is going to garner plenty of consideration for Album Of The Year. And rightfully so. Every well-executed track seems laid together perfectly up against the other. It is laid together in much the same fashion as Nas’ Illmatic, in 1993. Quite the comparison, huh?
Well on this track, My Epic, Chappell puts his life on display for all to see through his music over the drums and horns of Kenny Dope.
Respect!
Rasheed Chappell -101 (prod by Kenny Dope) (Video)
Rasheed Chappell is back and reintroducing himself and narrating street tales in the freshest of fashions over this Kenny Dope production. It’s really good to hear him bless the mic again, as it has been too long in coming, and this beat is the perfect type of hype!
This is the first release from his new EP, First Brick.
