After my favorite full length projects of 2016, I wanted to follow up with 10 EPs. The way that people consume music has shifted things away from the 70 minute album. Nowadays, very few people sit down and listen to every song of a new project. Playlists and curated radio are starting to replace the […]
I used to do separate lists for mixtapes, albums and EPs but it has become increasingly difficult to classify projects aside from using a concrete metric like length. People started releasing mixtapes of new material, others called them free albums and now the streaming services are shifting how we consume music overall. The point being, I […]
To read Part 1 which features albums 25-11 and 5 honorable mention, click here. 10. Add-2 Prey For the Poor Add-2 has always been an ill emcee able to put together complete projects. Since signing to Jamla though, and gaining access to beats by the Soul Council and musical direction by 9th Wonder, he has […]

A new year means we at Da-What have got 10 more names that you watch for. Spanning across the country, with a diverse set of skills, these are the artists that we think will be popping up more and more frequently on your favorite blogs, the background of your favorite TV shows and whatever else […]
This list has nothing to do with music quality or preference. This is a look back at 2014, the successes and accomplishments of those involved. Who had the best year takes into account most everything except whether I like their music or not. If the year was only 11 months, Bobby Schmurda would be damn […]
The second to last in our #Bestof2014 recap features the best retail projects that dropped in 2014. If you didn’t buy any albums this year, it is your own choice and not from any lack of good products. Here are just some of the best we heard and you need to go out and support […]
After releasing some of the best extended plays of 2014 yesterday, we are continuing with the best free projects this year. To reiterate, the lines between mixtape, street album, album are blurred more than ever and instead of offending anyone, we have grouped together the projects that are only available for sale and those that […]
