Here are 100 rap albums released this decade that I believe are slept on/underappreciated. I mentioned possibly doing this a few days ago and at least a few people seemed interested, so hopefully it will be helpful for some of yall out there looking for something new to listen to. You may be wondering why certain artists/albums aren't on here, but I had specific criteria in mind when I made this - I only wanted to include albums that have under 500 ratings on rateyourmusic, and only included one album per artist. I assume most of you reading this are already familair with billy woods, Ka, MIKE, Mach-Hommy, Boldy James, Open Mike Eagle, Aesop Rock, McKinley Dixon, ELUCID, Earl Sweatshirt, Roc Marciano, and Cities Aviv but if you aren't, i definitely suggest you change that as soon as possible. As always, links are included below for each album, I always go with bandcamp if it's a available on there but if not i'll try to find the album on youtube.
Chart with titles included
Let me know what albums you think are underrated, and if there's anything missing from this list that you'd add. How many of these albums have you heard, what are your favorites? I'd love to know. Peace.
