Killer Mike -
R.A.P. Music (2012
I remember listening to this a little while ago on Spotify and liking it, but for whatever reason I never picked it up. Fixed that last night, listened to it again, and now understand why everyone has been going nuts over it since it was released.
Joey Bada$$ -
1999 (2012)
Grabbed this shortly after it was released as well, but I don't think it made the trip from whatever Linux distro I was using at the time to my current one (I change them a lot). I'm actually starting to do some preliminary work on "Best of 2012" mixes so I'm trying to get caught up with some of the hip hop of 2012 that I've been missing out on. I still have a few outstanding albums though, so I can't really do anything official till... at least November.
