Some semi-new Hip Hop that need reviews
Sputnik has somehow gotten even worse at keeping up with hip hop over the years if that was even possible. This list is hardly exhaustive, just some things I've noticed casually browsing. |
| 1 |  | Elzhi
Seven Times Down Eight Times Up
Elzhi's best beat selection and possibly Elzhi at his best lyrically. Literally cover to cover perfect. |
| 2 |  | Grip
I Died For This!?
Shady Records' most promising member. Eminem still sucks ass at marketing his talent but this dude put out a dope album, no sell-out radio beats like the old Shady Records model. |
| 3 |  | Westside Gunn
Pray for Paris
Griselda gets no fucking love on this website even though they're one of the hottest collectives around. I think there's maybe one Conway and like that's it. Shameful.
This guy needs about 8 more reviews. At least Hitler Wears Hermes 7 and 8 like cmon. |
| 4 |  | Benny The Butcher
The Plugs I Met
Burden of Proof is dope too, but cmon both Plugs I Met 1 and 2 are crazy. How do they not have reviews? And shoutout to BSF that shit was cool too. |
| 5 |  | Roc Marciano
Rosebudd's Revenge 2: The Bitter Dose
Roc Marci is the father of this whole sound and he's got like 17 ratings per album jfc |
| 6 |  | Az
Doe Or Die II
Az is more than just the feature on Life's A Bitch you know |
| 7 |  | Marlowe
Marlowe 2
L'Orange and Solemn Brigham team up to make lightning strike twice. Best debut rapper in a long time. |
| 8 |  | Stove God Cooks
Reasonable Drought
Roc Marci gave Cooks some of his best loops for this shit. SGC has a very strange but addictive style of doing hooks, you just gotta hear em. |
| 9 |  | The LOX
Living Off Xperience
It's weird that this site used to have something of an East Coast bias but at the same time never gave a shit about one of the dopest NYC groups to ever do it. This album has one of DMX's last verses, RIP. |
| 10 |  | Quelle Chris
Guns
QC is Fantanocore even so I'm shocked he doesn't have any reviews. |
| 11 |  | Reason
New Beginnings
TDE's most unknown artist. Competent, knows what he's doing, just needs that little extra spark. |
| 12 |  | Open Mike Eagle
Anime, Trauma and Divorce
Same boat as Quelle Chris. I'm stunned OME isn't more popular on here. |
| 13 |  | Mr. Muthafuckin eXquire
Confessions of a Sex Addict
This album is funny and smooth and weird and great. It's a Muthafuckin eXquire album. The beats are just absorbing. |
| 14 |  | Boogie
Everything’s For Sale
This dude's name isn't even Boogie anymore, it's Westside Boogie. |
