You rate Kid Cudi's that highly? Surprised not to see The Roots' "How I Got Over" at least at number 5 on your list...

As a reminder, this is The Essence, so it's underground/Independent albums ONLY that should be listed, hence the introduction to the thread that talked about the commercial albums but with a BUT that talked about Independent music and how artists have really taken it there this year, so... try to keep your lists strictly Independent.

It's good to see that most people have at least one Indie on their list, but keep it strictly Indie. :tu

1. Eligh - Grey Crow
2. The Roots - How I Got Over
3. Kendrick Lamar - Overly Dedicated (technically an EP)
4. The Foreign Exchange - Authenticity
5. Slum Village - Villa Manifesto

List subject to change... I've got a bunch of albums to listen to later...

Okay, Eligh is topping my list after listening to the Deluxe Edition of his album, phenomenal.
