One release per artist / group, so The W got the nod over Thotbreaker, but feel free to vote for an artist and say you prefer another recent project by them better, that's fine.

Beautiful Thugger Girls will be in one of the album polls.

From the list, Scallops Hotel.

Other goods:

Standing On the Corner - Red Burns (not really rap, but then neither is that Babyfather tape) https://soundcloud.com/childrenofthecorner/red-burns" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
MIKE - May God Bless Your Hustle https://mikelikesrap.bandcamp.com/album ... our-hustle" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Theravada - Xen Griffey Jr. & Xenny Hardaway (available for sale so maybe considered albums but w/e) https://soundcloud.com/theravada" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Truman Snow - Kingdom Heartless https://soundcloud.com/trumansnow/sets/ ... -heartless" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Paris Michael - And Then We Grew Up https://soundcloud.com/trumansnow/sets/ ... -heartless" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Billyracxx - Flamingos and Finches https://soundcloud.com/billyoc/sets/flamingos" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Dope KNife - FUCK. https://dopeknife.bandcamp.com/album/fuck-2" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

There are few others I'm hoping will be in the EP list.

Thanks.

Billyracxx, CupcakKe, MIKE, Paris Michael, and Theravada will all appear in album polls.

Truman Snow will be in an EP poll.

Standing On the Corner I spaced on. And Dope KNife I mistakenly had down as an album for some reason.

WORD. TMT includes basically any "free" release in our monthly mixtape column, which has me thinking of almost everything as a mixtape nowadays. The distinction fades more and more every year, but I could definitely see a case made for all of those as albums rather than mixtapes. (I actually edited CupcakKe out b/c I saw even Wikipedia is calling it a studio album.)

Red Burns is in my Top 3 for the year.

That MIKE joint is especially not to be slept on IMO.

Daunting indeed.

Biggest oversight of all, and again this could/should be considered an album: Meslaus - Poor Boy

That'll get chucked in an album thread for sure. And I agree regarding that MIKE jawn, definitely one of the surprises of the year.

Don't think anybody here ran a best mixtape vote in 2010, but back in '09 Lil Wayne won it for No Ceilings. The delineation was more clear cut then.

SOTC is completely on some other shit, that needs it's own category. I think the Medslaus thing was an album.

Out of the list, really enjoyed Conway, Benny, most of the Lil B (although this is an album too I think, there was a different Black Ken mixtape some years back), a lot of the Tee Grizzly. Payface was pretty good but didn't stick like the tape with Cardo did. I'm sure Kodak and Starlito were great but I'm kinda worn out by them.

Ah, I ain't know.

He calls it his first official mixtape, Datpiff put it up a day early accidentally. I'm not very well versed in his work but I think he announced this mixtape like seven years back and finally dropped it or something like that.

Yeah, one could conceive of SOTC, DJ Escrow, Babyfather, ELUCID, Moor Mother and surely a few others in a "rap-inspired experimental weirdo shit" poll.

hey potna, just noticed a glaring omission. "without warning" by metro boomin, offset, 21sav is mixtape of the year (more life of course being a playlist). please add this ASAP so phila head don't have to degrade themselves by voting for super slimy.
