Through the tough year of 2021, these gems stood out. We had a lot of great Hip Hop releases this year. These are some of our favorites. Hip Hop should not be judged by what you hear on pop radio, but what real hip hop fans continue to listen to.. We salute those who keep making thoughtful albums with beats and lyrics, and content. New artists, OG artists, artists from east coast, west coast, and overseas… its all about great music. Salute!
Join Blax Radio December 29-31 as we salute all the great music of 2021.
