Efforts such as Eastern Philosphy, Honey Kong, Connecticut Casual, and his offering with O.C., Perastroyka, all display his knack for wanting to be that hard-nosed, in your face emcee just content on making dope music. No frills, just lyrics, and plenty of them at that. He’s always been what you would call an emcee’s emcee. Production: DJ Premier, Nottz, Pete Rock, Buckwild, others – Connecticut’s mic destroyer Apathy has always been an emcee that values the core of Hip Hop. Along with the highly touching cuts of dedication, “Jonylah Forever” and “Alan Forever” based off the deaths of both these individuals, and you have not just his most ambitious effort to date, but perhaps his most important. This is a very heavy conceptual effort, as the central theme is based around the fictional story of slaves on a slave ship going to Africa but get thrown off the boat and ended up living underwater determined to sink other slave ships as a means of a revolt. However, he more than made up for it with the next installment in his DROGAS series, DROGAS Waves. He then delivered another lackluster project in DROGAS Light, which came off as another Lasers. That changed with the incredible Tetsuo & Youth (all of us can concur that “mural” still stands as the most epic cut in his career), which saw him return to acclaimed form.
After his classic debut, Food & Liquor and his equally amazing follow-up, The Cool, he went through a slump due to creative differences with Atlantic and the results were lackluster, seemingly uninspired efforts. Production: artist, Soundtrakk, S1, others – The Chi’s Lupe Fiasco has been among the most heralded, although at times polarizing, emcees this generation. With all that being said, let’s get to it. Rest assured everything on the main list and HM are at the very least highly recommended releases, worthy of heavy rotation. There are only thirty slots here and one had to be VERY careful where to place them. Also keep in mind, if an album you personally loved gets placed in the Honorable Mentions list, it’s NOT a diss. Much like 2015 when we were in this exact same position, there were many that had to get listened to quite a number of times for their place on this list. Keep in mind, not one album on this list was below 4.25 stars on the Meltzer scale (my wrestling people know what I’m talking about) so this was a SUPER hard list to compose. Those are the ones we will highlight in this highly anticipated list that will surely cause controversy.

While we mourned deaths of Hip Hop aficionados like XXXTentacion and Mac Miller, there were many artists whose albums brought us substantial life. 2018 was a year of artistic boundaries getting pushed while musicality also became a pinpointed central matter. The year 2018…in a word…WOW! There was non-stop greatness this year.
