8. Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues
A very tame and peaceful album with a surprising amount of depth compared to their debut. This project definitely is one that grew on me over the years and it’s the best folk had to offer in the 2010s.

7. Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma
An experimental jazz-infused electronic adventure through the crazy mind of Flying Lotus. It ranges from peaceful and beautiful to an chaotic collection of noises and instruments arranged in a very precise manner.

6. Gorillaz - Plastic Beach
A loose concept with a surprising amount of meaning and ingenuity. As the album continues it becomes more synthesized and artificial almost as if it represents the increasingly problematic state of our environment.

5. Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly
One of most socially conscious and impactful album of the 2010s, TPAB contains pristine jazz instrumentals and a creative concept that blends together to form a timeless masterpiece that’ll be recognized as such for generations to come.

4. Thundercat - Drunk
A very personal favorite, Drunk is an aesthetic driven trip through the head of Thundercat with a wide variety of songs that make for a very cohesive and enjoyable listen from front to back.

3. Danny Brown - Atrocity Exhibition
Atrocity Exhibition is a dark, disturbing view into the chaotic mess that is Danny’s mind. The beats on the album are like nothing else to have ever come out and it remains ahead of its time even 4 years later.

2. Janelle Monáe - The ArchAndroid
An excellent representation of mixing fictional storytelling and concepts to represent real life issues regarding sexuality and freedom that people struggle through everyday. The funky, natural production gives it a timeless and stunning sound.

1. Big K.R.I.T. - 4Eva is a Mighty Long Time
A double sided masterpiece concept that is told beautiful through thoughtful lyrics and dense production with a southern flare reminiscent of all those who came before K.R.I.T. while retaining his own musical identity.
