A few recommend that havent had much exposure here.

Apollo Brown & O.C. - Trophies
I was bumping this all day yesterday, excellent album, production is top notch and fits OC perfectly. This would probably be more suited to fans of Word...Life or Jewels. There are sone things that I love about this, all songs are 3 verses, 3 choruses, no features, battle(ish) rhymes. There is also an exceptional track praising The D.O.C. which caught me off guard.

Sundown X Chuuwee - The Adverntures of the Millenium Falcon (Epsiode 1)
Chuuwee is my guy to watch, looking forward to his album. He teams up with Sundown who is no slouch and delivers a great album....free as well!
Chuuwee also has another mixtape just released called 'Crown me king' (or somethign like that) that I need to listen to more.

I saw on Twitter that Raekwon said that he has an album coming soon. I'm on my phone now so can't link.

Statik Selektah and Termanology '1982' is streaming for free on soundcloud:

http://soundcloud.com/clockworkmusic-2/sets/1982-statik-selektah-1/

This is a real good album. Term can go from being a great rapper on a track to being exceptional sometimes.

Jimmy Iovine

I'm still on my phone so can't link again but Big Boi said that his solo album is 80% done. He'll be back working with Andre when he releases that. It'll be great to hear some new Outkast music again.

Wasn't sure if it was going to be as good as the first one after hearing the songs that were leaked early but so far I'm very impressed, very good album.

Jimmy Iovine

Big Boi has changed the title of his next album to "Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors".

Also he has a song it that features Big K.R.I.T. and UGK (with a verse from Pimp C). Sounds very good.

Want to see three stacks back rapping for himself/Outkast, not like the features he is doing on other artist's very mediocre records. I've always liked OutKast, and preferred Big Boi to Andre in most cases. I've took a mad notion on listening to them recently tho (aquemini, southernplay and atliens twice a day minimum), Andre outshines Big Boi on the entire Aquemini album, and I say this as a huge big boi fan, it's classic verse after classic verse.

Personal fav offa southernplay:

just finished krits debut, fairly good now i must say. Couple of bangers on it , some quality instrumentals, great balance to it and choice of ft's. "if i fall" ft melanie fiona, live from the underground and yea thats me are my standouts so far.

I think there was a trend starting to happen with new artists who were hugely successful on the mixtape scene only to struggle with their debuts for whatever reason , i.e j.cole went the commercial route etc but I think big k.r.i.t has successfully lived up to the hype of his mixtapes and has made a bit of a gem.

will it stand the test of time though, im not sure yet

here's the stream

Here's the first leak from Gibbs' mixtape. Not nearly enough Gibbs on it, and too much TI for my liking. At least he's back rapping fast again though.

Video for "No Church In The Wild". I'd love to know how much this cost. It's pretty insane. Also there's an elephant in it. Always a sign of a good video. Would have liked to see Jigga or Kanye in it as well though.

Some potentially good albums coming up. I'm most looking forward to Chuuwee, Aesop Rock, Oddisee, Nas, Large Pro, Oh No, One Be Lo and Big Jus.

I was looking forward to Azelia Banks, but after hearing the snippets of the EP, not bothered now. She has taken the 212 sound which gave her some popularity and ran with that. Personally, I dont think that should be her sound.

Zero-Cool

Looking forward to La Coka Nostra. Will be interesting to see how Slaughterhouse turns out as well.

The video for Reks-Autographs is out. Good video, certainly better than the "Sins" and the "Such A Showoff" videos.

A video for "Too Long" has also been released, the first video from the brilliant new 1982 album.

Not really a fan of this, maybe it might grow on me. But for now it gets a thumbs down from me.

She was also in XXL's 10 Freshman, but for I cannot figure out why......well apparently you can 'get' onto that list if you know the right people.....but that's for the conspiracy theories forum.

The only reason I think that she has gotten some popularity is partially for her rapping, more-so for her looks. I think that there is a hole in the market for a 'white-girl' rapper who is not Kreshawn and Iggy is in the right time and place to fill that void.

There are far better male and female rappers out there that merit discussion based on thier music and ability, rather than Iggy who is gaining popularity not really based on her music or ability.
