Featuring artists like Royce Da 5’9”, Black Milk, Trick Trick, Elzhi, Slum Village, Guilty Simpson, One Be Lo, Bronze Nazareth, Kuniva, Clear Soul Forces, Boog Brown and many, many more, Sincerely, Detroit is a nearly comprehensive look at the styles and flavors of Detroit. From different eras and different walks of life, veterans and newcomers alike lend their styles and deliveries to this 21 track album. Sincerely, Detroit is Apollo Brown’s tribute to his hometown and a love letter to the culture. The most complete portrait of the Detroit Hip Hop scene ever? With 56 featured Detroit artists (with Eminem being the most notable absentee), it will be hard to argue against that claim. Outstanding and resonant – Eve is one of 2019’s best albums. Holding momentum throughout a 16-track album is not a given, but Eve is sequenced perfectly – not a second is wasted and there is no filler. Rapsody’s lyrics are compelling throughout the whole album and the smooth and classy soundscapes (with some excellent sampling) are on point too. On Eve Rapsody continues her exploration of black empowerment and female strength, cleverly conceptualized by naming all 16 tracks after strong and inspiring black women. The word (instant) classic gets thrown around much too much, and it remains to be seen how an album that seems to be something special upon its release holds up as the months and years pass – but it looks unlikely Eve is misjudged when the instant classic label is put on it – everything about Rapsody’s masterful ode to black women screams MASTERPIECE.Ĭlass, confidence, style, intelligence, attitude, skill, power – Rapsody has it all and on Eve it all comes together to result in an album that will be sure to rank among the decade’s best. Both The Idea of Beautiful (2012) and Laila’s Wisdom (2017) were among the best albums of the years in which they were released, so it was hard to imagine how Rapsody could equal the standard of quality she set for herself with her previous releases. Rapsody’s third full-length is yet another step ahead for the North Carolina emcee. With all that said – let’s get into the best Hip Hop albums of 2019!Īlso check: Greatest Hip Hop Albums 1980 – 2019 & Top 150 Hip Hop Albums Of The 2010s But having said that, there are lots of dope EP’s out there, so we will not completely ignore them – scroll all the way down (below the Honorable Mentions) for a section with some of 2019’s best EP’s. Creating an LP is an art in itself, releasing a couple of songs as an EP or dropping a 20-minute ‘album’ with a bunch of 1 and 2-minute songs, just doesn’t cut it for us. Some artists even bill barely 30-minute-long projects as albums – HHGA considers 30-minute-or-less projects EP’s however, and we do not rank them on this album (= LP) list. Due to ever-shortening hype cycles and attention spans, 2019 saw a continuation of the unfortunate trend that has artists drop a bunch of EP’s in order to stay in the public’s eye for as much time as possible.

Not included are instrumental albums, compilations (like Nas’ Lost Tapes 2), and EP’s (otherwise projects like Benny the Butcher’s excellent The Plugs I Met would have ranked high here). All the projects mentioned on the list and in the honorable mentions are worthwhile listens, which goes to show the quantity of quality released this year. Here you will find our favorite releases of the year ranked, with a sizeable honorable mention section attached as well. This is our list of what we think are the best Hip Hop albums of 2019.

After a very slow start, 2019 turned out to be another great year for Hip Hop.
