1.2014 Forest Hills Drive- J. Cole
Roc Nation’s J. Cole surprised everyone with a complete new third studio album. Without any features and no promotion Cole provided on of hip-hop best gems of the year. Stripping his music to just dope beats and raw lyrics, “2014 Forest Hill Drive” is aggressive yet honest, even when he’s reminiscing about his adolescence, the low standards of women today, politics, or the loss of authenticity in Hip-Hop.
