I have yet to listen to Descendants of Cain by Ka and the Blu & Exile album but I’ve seen them make many lists.

Overall I’d say the underground flourished more than the big name artists this year. I wouldn’t say it was an amazing year for music but it’s forgivable given the current situation we are in. What are you favourite albums of the year?
