75. ORQUÍDEAS – Kali Uchis

Now the way she layers her voice and her being able to flow so eloquently on each track is nothing short of amazing.

74. DRAM&B – DRAM

The man can SANG! Don’t believe me? Go listen to “Back & Forth” and come back.

73. New World Orleans – G-Nova

Normally when people ask me to listen to their music on this app, I get annoyed because sometimes it’s trash. Not here. Brother got talent. Trust me. Someone needs to give him an opportunity.

72. Throwing Bows – Monaleo

Punchline queen. Like all she did was just give you bars and you just had to embrace it. It’s pretty damn good.

71. Merci, Non Merci – El Cousteau

Go listen to “Words2LiveBy”…That explains why it’s here.

70. SOSA – Sosamann

If you aren’t hip to Sosamann… you missing out. Brother got a smooth flow, solid slapping beats and some catchy ass hooks.

69. The Calm – Chris Patrick

Sometimes you just wanna hear someone rap and actually give a fuck about. Chris Patrick cares about his song structure, his beats, his style, everything.

68. Princess Pop That – Anycia

Probably the most underrated project on the entire list, her one of a kind voice (and ad-libs) really make this an enjoyable listen. You don’t need substance when you can make bangers.

67. MADeMAN – Cardo Got Wings

It’s always impressive when one of the best producers gets in the booth and gives you quality raps. The features are also amazing but flowing over some nice beats really is what makes this a solid project.

66. Big Ideas – Remi Wolf

One of the best pop records this year. Remi really has an excellent voice as well as exceptional instrumentation throughout the album.

65. Take Care – BigXThaPlug

When you hear that, “AYE!!” You know you’re about to get a slap!! He says that on every song, so you see why it’s on the list. Also, he legit can flow on anything. Turning the Law & Order theme song into a trap beat is CRAZY!!!

64. Empathogen – Willow

We are past the days of her early pop music and now we are hearing the maturity in not just her sound sonically, but her vocals, subject matter and overall performance as an artist. It’s damn beautiful.

63. Glorious – GloRilla

For a good part of the year, GloRilla was carrying and if you think otherwise, you’re a liar. This album was really good and it was a little bit of everything on this project. Hell she managed to get a good verse outta Latto.

62. Born in the Wild – Tems

Have you heard this woman sing??? Seriously? This is some of the best house cleaning music you’ll ever hear. Like that’s the best compliment I can give it.

61. Soul Burger – Ab-Soul

Probably his most personal project yet, definitely something worth listening to even if your aren’t a fan.

60. The Alexander Technique – Rex Orange County

The acoustics, the vocals, the simplistic sound but the complex lyrics to accompany the sound is truly special. It’s a very unique experience.

59. Southern Mystic – Raury

A folk album in 2024 is exactly what was needed and the fact that Raury was the one to do it, give this brother his flower

58. Walk – NCT 127

Yep. K-Pop! It’s an album full of hits. That’s literally what makes it dope, it’s just catchy song after catchy song.

57. They Could Never Make Me Hate You – Pouya

Pouya the vet! One of best outta Florida. If you’re not familiar with his game, the brother got bars and some of the best ears for beats as well.

56. Beta – Yoshi Vintage

It was a legit pleasure to listen to Yoshi. She’s talented as f*ck. Her music shows she has an immaculate flow as well as some excellent bars too. Also check her out on the newest season of Rhythm + Flow on Netflix

55. REVELATOR – E L U C I D

Arguably the best underground rapper ever, this is just an album full of what Hip Hop should be when people give a f*ck.

54. The Drive Home – Samara Cyn

Her storytelling, fire. Her flow, IMMACULATE! Her bars, TUFF! Listening to her single “Magnolia Rain” let me know she was finna craft a masterpiece and boom, she did exactly that.

53. If my Jeans Could talk – Kyle Dion

Excellent sound, smooth vocals, more of an upbeat sound but all-around good project.

52. The Lotus Child – Che Noir

51. The Auditorium, Pt 1 – Common & Pete Rock

Common is a legend. This album is why.
