We decided a few weeks ago to put together a list of our favorite projects this year. Locally, globally, hip hop, eclectic, and instrumental wise. We also want to state that this is by no means a “best of” list, just the projects that Jay Diff and myself were bumping and/or feeling the most. We each chose 25 hip hop releases, 10 eclectic and/or instrumental releases, and came together and chose a few local projects. We suggest you check out anything we post, but being said, we REALLY suggest checking out these projects:
‡ = we both selected it
g = seangevity chose it
d = jay diff chose it

Man, this joint is infectious. I’ve listened to it twice in the last 5 minutes. I actually got to see Nikkiya perform down at A3C this year, and was fairly impressed with her performance. The track is produced by Will Power.
