While a lot of people are busy sticking Kendrick Lamar’s album at the top of their album of the year lists (Seriously… I challenge most of these people to name more than two songs off the album they love so much!) and with Kendrick himself busy in the studio collaborating with Dido we’ve decided to make better use of our time and put together a list of 6 hip hop tunes from 2012, that in our opinion have got it all over the current crop of buzz rappers doing the rounds.
And the nominations are…
1. Survival Tactics - Joey Bada$$ x Capital STEEZ
2. Maybe One Day - Blu & Exile Feat. Black Spade
3. Whatchu Want From Me? - Homeboy Sandman
4. Magnolia - Lushlife
5. Slash Gordan - Murs & Fashawn
6. Dumpin’ Em All - DJ Nu-Mark Feat. Bumpy Knuckles
