Without the greatest music blogger in the world (Walker) expanding my audio taste in 2013 with the influx of EDM to the states, I probably would have been miserable in the music department. Disclosure and Kanye West (seen as my top two albums this year) were virtually the only projects I connected with and saw something innovative this year that previously hadn’t been done. 2013 will probably go down as one of the most memorable years for music in recent memory highlighted by the return of Justin Timberlake, Pharrell having the two biggest singles and Timbaland executive producing some of the biggest projects in his career.
In no particular order:
01. Kanye West YEEZUS
02. Disclosure Settle
03. Pusha T My Name Is My Name
04. Justin Timberlake The 20/20 Experience (1 + 2)
05. Mayer Hawthorne Where Does This Door Go
06. Drake Nothing Was The Same
07. JAY Z Magna Carta… Holy Grail
08. Ghostface Killah Twelve Reasons To Die (The Brown Tape)
09. Chance The Rapper Acid Rap
10. Durag Dynasty 360 Waves
