My 22 track best of 2011 mix…
Blu & Exile – Give Me My Flowers While I Can Smell Them (Album)

The Roots… What more needs to be said… Check out the whole album as it is only 38 minutes long and really flows together…

Phonte of Little Brother… Him and 9th finally made up!!!! This album features at least 3-4 tracks produced with that classic 9th wonder feel…

Evidence of Dilated Peoples… Production from Alchemist(duh), and DJ premier, with verses from Raekwon, Slug, Prodigy, and more…

The late Nujabes last and now posthumous album, largely finished prior to his untimely death, but completed by a handful of people close to him after the fact… Truly a classic already, and stays so true to the Nujabes sound that so many have grown to love… Rest in Beats! You will be missed…

Had to save the best for last… Dela is a french producer that has really come up in the hip-hop scene with his jazzy beats that remind you of A Tribe Called Quest and the golden age of Hip Hop as a whole with tracks like Jay Electropietricus and West Side Story…
