Street Hustla
Nothing is harder than attempting to compile a list of ones favorite albums released in a year, sure it’s only a top 10 but in my opinion that makes it even harder to do. Maybe it’s because I’m not really a list type of person or because there were some extremely dope projects that were released this year to chose from, who knows? Working with OnSMASH these past few years has definitely given me a bigger ear for music, (all credit goes to a few of my OS brethrens for that), which has added some artists and genres I never thought I’d listen to, featured on my iPod playlists.
Ultimately though, I didn’t go the route of adding much alternative to the list, because I felt it wouldn’t represent the music that I listen to on the daily basis. I mean sure, I give those records plenty of spins but nothing makes me feel better then to jam out to music I love hearing on the regular.
