2015 was such a good year in music. With many artists who’ve either planned to release their project or just dropped when they felt like it, we were blessed with a plethora of projects that prospered through unique production, a new approach to sound, or even progression from a prior album. This is why The Odd Side exists, to show where the sound Hip Hop (and music in general) is going . So to celebrate the new year, these 10 albums are best because they all succeeded in being both progressive musically and just really good to hear.
Although ASAP Yams passed away long before At.Long.Last.A$AP released, there’s a good chance that the ASAP Worldwide Co-founder is smiling from the other side. A$AP Rocky’s second major-label project succeeds off of his unique blend of southern rap flair and New York hip hop bars, added with a new psychological addition to his production this time around. A.L.L.A. shows just how deep and dark Rocky can get with his music, using new sounds and dark times to tell the illustrate the struggles that come with his steady rise to become an A-list rap star.
When Goldlink first announced his newest project during his Washington, DC performance in July, we were excited to see where the star would take his sound. When the DMV rapper’s album And After That, We Didn’t Talk dropped in November, it did more than meet expectations. This album solidified the Goldlink’s futuristic twists to hip-hop and R&B beats, while also showing progress in the way he projects it by adding more of a vocal element to a plethora of his songs. With the help of radio show/record label Soulection backing the Link’s project, And After That, We Didn’t Talk is a step in the right direction for this up-and-coming artist.
