Episode 23A is a year end rap up featuring some joints that I set aside throughout the course of the year from some of my favorite full length projects. I’m not one to claim a definitive album of the year, there were a lot of great/damn near classic projects that came out and most of these tracks reflect some of the better albums that dropped in my opinion with a couple of random loosies thrown in for good measure. Special thanks to all my listeners and supporters and cheers to another great year for rap songs..part 2 coming next week!
