dope albums from 2016?

[Durag]

I am so far behind in current hip-hop, not sure ive even listened to one album from this year. What dope releases have I missed out on? This year seems to be pretty bad i havent heard any albums been hyped up on here.

Handshakes with Snakes-Apathy, that's all I can say so far. Pretty bad year. Peace

kendrick lamar - "untitled/unmastered"
kanye west - "life of pablo"
de la soul - "the anonymous nobody"
prophets of rage - EP [this is basically Rage Against The Machine with Chuck D and B-Real replacing Zack de la Rocha.. pretty dope]
robert glasper - "everything's beautiful" (not a hip-hop album but has great songs with phonte, bilal, erykah badu and more)
sadat x - "agua"
the architect - "butter soul" (very dope instrumental project)
midaz the beast - "loops #2"
D.I.T.C. Studios album
Masta Ace - "the falling season"

I gotta add Westsidegunn FLYGOD. That's a very dope album in my opinion and him and Conway are bringing back that 90s feel with their projects.

[Durag]

Forgot about Masta Ace, apart from an over abundance of singing that album was fuckin dope.

Cheers for replies ill have to start catching up
