10. Nipsey Hussle ft. Vernardo – “Be Here For A While”

Neighborhood Nip delivered one more release to support his Crenshaw Tour. Like the others, this track is solid.

9. Black Milk – “Cold Day”

We’d still like to know what’s in Detroit’s water. Does anyone know? We need answer.

8. Rick Ross ft. Jeezy – “War Ready”

We won’t say that this song matched all the hoopla surrounding it, but it’s definitely worth a spin or two.

7. Tree – “More Than You Know”

The Chicago rapper’s appeal is growing with each new release. See why above.

6. Alex Wiley & Mick Jenkins – “Forever”

Here’s another batch of impressive up and coming MCs from Chicago. There’s a storm brewing in that city.

5. Skeme – “6 AM In Miami”

Skeme Duke has a few leftover tracks from Ingleworld. Here’s one that’s a keeper.

4. Rick Ross – “Oyster Perpetual”

To be frank, this is the type of song I’d prefer Ross to make. Keep feeding fans these, homie.

3. Slum Village – “Yes Yes” (Prod. By J. Dilla)

Dilla’s presence is felt from the grave on this new Slum Village track, produced by the late great.

2. M.O.P. ft. Mobb Deep – “Street Certified”

After all these years, we can comfortably say that few MCs can create a street track like these New York City legends.

1. Future ft. Pharrell, Pusha T & Casino – “Move That Dope”

Future, please say the Vandross, dropped this Hiroshima of a heater on the Internets to much fanfare. This song bangs.
