J-Zone – Mad Rap.

Not quite The Mad Rapper, but it will do.

Doe Boi – Left Field, Video.

I don’t think I’ve heard a sadder rap song in 2014. Listen to Indianapolis rapper Doe Boi’s mixtape from earlier this year below.

Migos – Trap Dab Freestyle (ft. Peewee Longway, Hoodrich Pablo Juan, Jose Guapo) (produced by TM88).

Offset. Hoodrich. Guapo. Longway. Quavo. The 2014 Trapspendables.

Snoop Dogg – WFTV Millionaire (produced by Madlib).

Snoop Dogg and Madlib sounds like a fantasy collaboration some guy threw out on a rap message board. But here we are. We live in where Snoop can dip into his stash of Madlib beats for a freestyle when he hits a milestone in YouTube subscriptions. We live in amazing times.

Payroll Giovanni – Hustle Muzik 2, Video.

Flipping “Can’t Stop The Reign” will never not be a good idea.

Big K.R.I.T. – Drinkers Club (ft. Juicy J, Rittz, A$AP Ferg).

Like many blog rappers before him, Big K.R.I.T. rode a wave of great mixtapes toward an ultimately disappointing debut album. All that promise squandered, just like with Yelawolf, Wale, and other rappers who flubbed their moment in the spotlight after so many leaks and cosigns. But even after the lukewarm response to Live from the Underground, K.R.I.T.’s talent was never in doubt. And so when “Mount Olympus” dropped in April and put the entire rap game on notice, it felt a homecoming. The cycle has begun anew as Cadillactica looms. “Drinkers Club” from See Me On Top 4 is one of the year’s best posse cuts, featuring the best double-time flows this side of “Crossroads.” And Cadillactica‘s title track, which is burning up Spotify and your preferred online music store, is pretty amazing too. Go ahead, get excited.

Jalal Salaam – Surrender (produced by Swarvy).

Here’s a Stones Throw-esque gem from Jalal Salaam’s new album Mathematics^2 produced by Philly’s Swarvy. Also peep “1987body” where Swarvy laces a YouTube freestyle by nobody Philly rapper Vodka with a luscious free-flowing beat.

Alchemist – Rookies of the Future (ft. Riff Raff, Action Bronson).

In the space of two songs, Riff Raff compares himself to Rick James, Obama, Toucan Sam, Ryu from Street Fighter, Macho Man Randy Savage, and Eric Clapton. The scary part? He’s not far off.

Below are “Rookies of the Future” with Alchemist and Action Bronson and “Drip” with Curtis Williams and Mike Will. Can’t go wrong.
