Some artists even bill barely 30-minute-long projects as albums – HHGA considers 30-minute-or-less projects EP’s however, and we do not rank them on this album (= LP) list.
Due to ever-shortening hype cycles and attention spans, 2019 saw a continuation of the unfortunate trend that has artists drop a bunch of EP’s in order to stay in the public’s eye for as much time as possible. Not included are instrumental albums, compilations (like Nas’ Lost Tapes 2), and EP’s (otherwise projects like Benny the Butcher’s excellent The Plugs I Met would have ranked high here). All the projects mentioned on the list and in the honorable mentions are worthwhile listens, which goes to show the quantity of quality released this year. Here you will find our favorite releases of the year ranked, with a sizeable honorable mention section attached as well. This is our list of what we think are the best Hip Hop albums of 2019. After a very slow start, 2019 turned out to be another great year for Hip Hop.
