I'm surprised no one else has chimed in on this yet. Nothing mentioned from P or the other heads in the place?

I am bumping a few more before I nominate mine, a lot of the ones you mentioned Boom Bap I haven't heard through all the way yet.

Rasheed Chappell.

Out of the ones mentioned I gotta agree on Big K.R.I.T. The Roots album sounds very good but I haven't heard it in its entirety so gonna cop it soon.

Action Bronson sounds too much like an inferior copy of Ghostface for me to get passed it, although the production is thight!

I'm always catching up a lot towards the end of the year so I usually don't have much to add in threads like this but one album that I gotta mention in this thread is Wise Intelligent - The Unconcable Djezuz Djonez, which containes (for me) the track of the year in "Crown of thornz".
