The Albums that proved Hip Hop is alive and well Last Year.
Not going to talk to much on this article except to say, the albums below played a huge part in inspiring me to create #WVCC #CyphLyfeRadio as a medium to share great Hip Hop with those of us who were growing scared the art form and culture was heading the way of the DoDo Bird. If these albums don’t prove to you Hip Hop is in Peak Form presently and that there are still Artist serious about providing the world with great music, maybe you should find another genre of music to follow. But to those out there like us, that find they are addicted to this Art Form through the good, bad and ugly, I offer this list. The ranking is based on my personal preference and opinion of course, but its a great reference list for some great Underground Hip Hop which provides us “hip hop purest” with a great alternative to what we consider to be the growing wackness that has had a strangle hold on our culture. I hope you enjoy this selection as much as I did, and that it inspires you to promote and support the growth of any Hip Hop Scene where ever you call home.
