Best of 2021 | Top 10 Hip Hop / Rap Albums
December 21, 2021
In our first Top 10 list of 2021, we shared our ten best hip hop / rap singles of the year. In this list, we announce our best performing albums in the same genre. For this list, an album is considered any release not officially listed as a “single,” so, any two-song set from EPs to full LPs that released in the 2021 calendar year were eligible.
Determined by a combination of streaming, download, and overall sales statistics at all measurable platforms beginning Jan. 1, 2021, this list is in no particular order:
- We Will Go | Cephas
- Mere Mortals | Cas Metah, Sintax the Terrific & Dj Sean P
- Out of the Tension…Comes Beauty | Streetlights & Prisims
- Dream Character (EP) | Terem
- Rebuild & Restore | Terror Firma
- Jazziest | Terem
- Snake Skin Bible Cover | C4 Crotona
- The Daydreamer EP | Knaladeus & DSTL
- Dusk (EP) | Imperial
- The Art of Living (Deluxe Edition) | Sareem Poems & Newselph
You can stream all of these songs—and much more—on these playlists: TRU Hip Hop (Follow on Spotify | All Platforms), That Lo-Fi Feel (Follow on Spotify | All Platforms)
