1. Lil Durk – I’m Still A Hitta
As far as drill music is concerned, Durk’s I’m Still A Hitta was the most complete project of the pack. Keef and Lou might’ve had a higher profile, but Durk did the best job of bringing the sound to life. The sinister production from Paris Beuller and Young Chop perfectly paired with Durk’s sing-songy and sometimes autotuned flow. It’s dark but bouncy, aggressive yet inviting. It’s almost like they channeled Beats By The Pound circa ’98, except the sound hasn’t been overused or exploited — yet.
One thing that’s often overlooked in the digital age is album sequencing — and I’m Still A Hitta is pretty much perfect. We’re not sure if that’s the work of Durk or Victoriouz and Sean Mac, but it flowed impeccably. The project is filled with joints you can ride to, or blast in the club. No skips.
We had a feeling this project was going to be big when a :30 snippet of the “L’s Anthem” video hit YouTube — it was enough to make us believers. Durk spent most of his breakout year, 2012, behind bars, but I’m Still A Hitta held us over throughout his sentence and until the release of his follow up Life Ain’t No Joke. And while Life Ain’t No Joke had its moments, it just wasn’t as complete as its predecessor. While the drill scene grabbed most of the watching world’s attention in 2012, I’m Still A Hitta serves as its soundtrack, and will be the best way to describe what Chicago rap sounded like in 2012 when looking back 20 years from now.
Favorite Tracks: “L’s Anthem,” “My N***** Don’t Change,” “Off The Shits,” “Rite Here”
As soon as I saw that “Castro” wasn’t the first mixtape I gave up hahaha
What the fuck does it matter that Castro and MMM were dropped close together. They were separate full CD’s. If quality of beats and rhymes count then both deserve to be top 10. Castro should be #1 hands down. Both were more cohesive than Durks joint. Yall a fucking disrespectful with this shit. Yall been lost my guys, but yall just lost me forever with this dumb ass shit. How do you rate this shit? Beats, rhymes, originality, cohesion? I’m waiting on an answer…If you had an answer i’d stick around but i know you don’t.
Read the disclaimer…1 project per artist
YALL SOME FUCK NIGGAZ LMAO HAHAHAHA ROTFL
nice article. RT on twitter done.
This Castro was insane, it’s already in my top of 2012 free projects.
Rated R is dope record on that Jeremih mixtape. Ask any chick what their favorite song on that mixtape and they will tell you “Rated R”
10day shooda been #1 for sure, and yeah acid rap is gonna be huge.. castro should be #2 and drillmatic shoulda been up there and maybe even sloane peterson and community service shoulda been included
This list is that Bobby Brown…. Castro should be #1 without any debate …. And BFK should be higher ..
