Just as we do every year, we close out our Year-In-Review lists by giving a rundown of the perspective album releases slated for the new year. Yeah, we probably missed some things, and yeah, 25% of this stuff will not come out. But hey. So here it is, in no particular order…..

    Smart choice not to include madvillainy 2, who knows when if ever that’s coming out. More than enough good stuff coming out this year though.

    I was hoping to see black & brown by self scientific and sick symphonies (psycho realm & street platoon)
