BEST of 2012: HIP-HOP ALBUMS

I have a few of these Best of 2012 lists to post but I wanted to start with the one every blog/website loves to do: ALBUMS!!! For this category I'm going with major label releases, and I'm keeping it to five, but I do share a few honorable mentions. I'm also proud to say that one of the homies made this list along with two emcees I'm huge fans of [like Top 10 emcee status]. Don't worry I'll have a Best of 2012 R&B albums going up next.  Hit the jump to see my choices for 2012. Remember these are my thoughts...so no need to argue.

BRANDUN DESHAY - RIGHT ABOUT NOW (MUSIC DOWNLOAD)

The young man is taking a break from his solo artist career to hone in on his production skills as he looks to land placements with bigger artists.  As you know he's produced for Dom Kennedy, Casey Veggies, Von Pea, Curren$y and more, so he's well on his way.  So to note that move he's leaving his supporters with this.  Enjoy.
