Here are 100 rap albums released this decade that I believe are slept on/underappreciated. I mentioned possibly doing this a few days ago and at least a few people seemed interested, so hopefully it will be helpful for some of yall out there looking for something new to listen to. You may be wondering why certain artists/albums aren't on here, but I had specific criteria in mind when I made this - I only wanted to include albums that have under 500 ratings on rateyourmusic, and only included one album per artist. I assume most of you reading this are already familair with billy woods, Ka, MIKE, Mach-Hommy, Boldy James, Open Mike Eagle, Aesop Rock, McKinley Dixon, ELUCID, Earl Sweatshirt, Roc Marciano, and Cities Aviv but if you aren't, i definitely suggest you change that as soon as possible. As always, links are included below for each album, I always go with bandcamp if it's a available on there but if not i'll try to find the album on youtube. Chart with titles included Let me know what albums you think are underrated, and if there's anything missing from this list that you'd add. How many of these albums have you heard, what are your favorites? I'd love to know. Peace. 1. Sunmundi & Sasco - Contacting 2. Preservation & Gabe 'Nandez - Sortilège 3.

Defcee’s latest mixtape ‘A Mixtape As God Intended, Vol. 1′ is out now on Machine Wash Music.

Favorite Albums/EPs of 2025 so far. I meant to do this right at the end of june right at the midyear point, but it's a good thing I didn't since last friday ended up being such a huge day for new releases. I cannot recommend Contacting by Sunmundi and Sasco enough, elite level rapping and production that deserves far more attention than it's gotten so far. As always, i'll do a completely separate list of my favorite hip hop albums of 2025 at the end of the year for anyone who is interested. Chart with titles included

What are your favorite albums so far this year? If you think there’s something i might’ve missed or your picks aren't on here, let me know. Peace.
