y'all nominate my mixtape yet?

Kidrodi's mixtape

Ain't listened to much new stuff but for me nothing has topped The Body - No One Deserves Happiness. 

Some more:

Ital Tek - Hollowed

It's been a weird year for Rap, kind of unsatisfactory for artists that I like, but still:

Danny Brown - Atrocity Exhibition

Ab-Soul - Do What Thou Wilt.

(Although it seems like they are both having addiction issues with hard drugs, which disturbs me... they are both still amazing despite that)

Chance the Rapper - Coloring Book ( not that great overall, but there are some awesome songs, like Summer Friends)
