This was a really good year for Hip-Hop/ Rap

Maybe, but it's rare that we find such good music out of the blue consistently these days. I mean, 2008 was a hard time to try and find something, but we still had great albums. The problem as that the great albums were the ones that all music junkies new about. In 2015, good music is just around the corner. Heck, most of my favorite albums this year come from Bandcamp. And I give them all perfect 100.

1. Deconstricting Nature by Sakuraburst. It was like a mix of brostep and ambience, done so well that it gave brostep a better name in my opinion. I mean, I've heard a good share of brostep, but none of it had the consistency of Trout Mask Replica that took so many influences and unconvential compositions, and made it flow so well. The first album to do that forme was this. If you like Trout Mask Replica and ambient or electronic, you'll like this. Perfect 100.

2. Styrofoam Tombstone by Milk Duct Tape. Milk Duct offers a great mix of gunge and stoner rock, often carrying a mix of fuzzy In Utero style production and some cleaner and sleak, while taking influences ranging from Queens of the Stone Age and Rolling Stones. What an amazing album.

3. Codename X by Excision. Although it doesn't surprise me as much as the number 1, this album took the usual rules of generic brostep which made the genre so trashed on and upgraded them into cool and catchy ways to make a consistent, well produced album.

4. On the Essence of the Indomitable Spirit by The Deer. The band has a great mix of vocal power and serene softness. The band plays like they were a professional indie band. Americana, Folk, Indie, cool work.

5. What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World by Decemberists. For my first Decemberists album, I was very impressed. It took a lot of older folk influences and modernized them while keeping all the old vibes.

6. Success by KEN Mode - Post-Hardcore alum. Cool work with fuzzy production.

7. Pretending to Swim by Concreatures Authentically realistic 90's style music from 2015.

8. Gunmetal Eyes by Lardo. Simple, but cool.

9. Gold Shadow by Asaf Avidan.

10. Hoard by Toby Jackson.

^wow. I haven't heard of a single one of those.

Success was my AOTY actually. I would probably add the new Baroness and Leftover Crack albums to the list if I sat down and played them.

The baroness album is gold. Managed to kick out an album to make it all the way to 5. Biggest surprise of the year for me.
