So here is a list of my favorite EPs from 2018. I easily could have extended this list to 25 projects and been really comfortable about that. However, I really wanted to showcase what I consider to be the best projects in a year where there was so much greatness to consider. In the end, there were no votes, judges, or etcetera. This was simply a matter of personal preference. I hope you enjoy these projects as much as I did.

Notes:
Pawz One and Robin Da Landlord craft some substantial boom-bap flavor with their recent release of Sell Me A Dream: Flowstalgia.
But this album isn’t just about boom-bap though as much as it is about supreme execution and a cohesive union between producer and emcee. The tandem has a formula that is simple in concept but hard for many to execute. Robin Da Landlord concocts a classic sound with drums that always hit hard and pull no punches.

Pawz One & Robin Da Landlord – Sell Me A Dream (Video)
Pawz One & Robin Da Landlord lace us with the visuals for the title track to their new project which dropped last Friday. The project is dope in it’s entirety, and as a matter of fact I am working on a review for it, because of how much I enjoy it.
Listen to the drums Robin Da Landlord uses for the backbone of the track? If your head is not snapping back and forth, I am not sure what to tell you. This track is the embodiment of what hip hop should be. And the dream here, truly is hip hop articulated in it’s purest form…and that’s what happened on their latest effort.
Single You Out: Pawz One x Robin Da Landlord – On The Daily (ft. Prince Po x Vegamonster)
One last single before the album from Pawz One and Robin Da Landlord, Sell Me a Dream: Flowstalgia, drops this Friday.
On The Daily is a smooth head nodder that features flows from Prince Po and Vegamonster. Really good hip hop here and sure to be on that album.
Be prepared to cop!
Single You Out: Pawz One X Robin Da Landlord – Sucker Punch
Pawz One and and Robin Da Landlord combine forces for this single, along with a new project due out in the middle of May, entitled Sell Me A Dream. The beat from Robin Da Landlord goes hard as the drums sound like they are cracking agains the piano and flute backdrops. Pawz One unleashes a flurry of bars that crack the cabinets of of those who hide behind computers and spread hate.
Well, WE ain’t one of those people here…nothing but love for these artists and their music.
