There's been a few good albums this year, but only a few (immediately) come to my mind.

DJ JS-1 - It Is What It Isn't

Havoc - 13 Reloaded

Termanology - Shut Up and Rap

Joell Ortiz - House Slippers

PRhyme - PRhyme

Diamond D - The Diam Piece

Madlib & Freddie Gibbs - Pinata






peace.

Ok, Ok, I might not be able to get better than those.....

I kinda liked the new mobb deep joint better than the havoc solo record. I liked what I heard off of killer mike and El-p's record too, but I haven't really sat with it yet. The new ghostface LP is wonderful.

I'm on that 16 loop, down in that Houston, baby
I'm on Atlantic Ave, Hip Hop Police hate me!

Yes, the new GFK is dope. There was actually a ton of notable albums this year. I'm working on a 2014 recap atm, will post sometime this week/weekend.

Sad to say that the only joint I've copped off the list so far was Piñata which is very dope . But now I have a new list to keep an eye out for . I read a week ago that they are gonna drop another pressing of Diam Piece in mid January , so I gotta cop that !!!

Out of all the 2014 Hip Hop on wax I bought this year (which wasn't a lot ) these are the only ones that stand out today...

Tree - Sunday School 2: When Church Lets Out LP (Daupe!) 2014



Doppelgangaz - Peace Kehd LP (Groggy Pack Entertainment) 2014



House Shoes and Street Corner Music Present Tuamie - The Gift Vol. 4 LP (Street Corner Music) 2014



Roc Marciano - The Pimpire Strikes Back LP (Fat Beats) 2014



^All these albums are worth multiple listening, and I'm surprised to say this, but I think that House Shoes / Tuamie collab joint stands out as the best. Rarely would I say that about a strictly instrumental Hip Hop album but that one is just insanely refreshing. It's the golden era style of beat making, simple and flawless.
