The month of October brings forth two unofficial holidays in Halloween and Sweetest Day. (Three, if you really want to count Drake’s birthday.)
While the culture of dressing up like ghouls and goblins can indeed offer up the chills, it pales in comparison to some of the most graphic records Hip-Hop has ever recorded.
