Here’s my final list of all the dope (real) Hiphop releases from 2013. And every release is somethin’ I actually own unless you see a * in which that means I’ve only listened to the album, but because I don‘t like it I didn’t buy it. I make these lists for myself, but also to help people see what’s out there because I know its difficult keepin up with everything…
