We'll start with Next Up (so people who are gonna probably be on this list next year) and Honorable Mentions
Next Up
Fred The Godson - Armageddon
Fred is lyrical and has the raspy voice reminiscent of Biggie... and the rotund size. When he raps, it sounds so easy. Pay attention to this dude. Check out his song "So Crazy (Remix)" ft. Waka Flacka and Cam'Ron.
Diggy Simmons - Airbone
Diggy is good. I guess it's in his blood as he is son of Run DMC rapper Rev Run and nephew Hip Hop Mogul Russell Simmons. He can only get better. He's one of those rich kid rappers; a new trend that seems to be starting. I mean, I don't care as long as the music is ill. Check out his song "Oh Yeah" ft. Lupe Fiasco and Pharrell.

Honorable Mentions
Dead Prez - Revolutionary but Gangsta Grillz
It's good to just heard from this group after not hearing from them for so long. They hopped on DJ Drama's Gangsta Grillz series with the play on words from their last album's title; clever and ill, just like the mixtape. Check out their song "Malcolm, Garvey, Huey" ft. Divine, where they jacked Bank$' Beamer, Benz or Bentley beat.
Cassidy - Apply Pressure 2
Cassidy is lyrical and never ceases to be lyrical. He's just so consistent that he had to be here. The standout track on this tape though is his 8 minute freestyle called "Let Me Hear Something".
Wale - More About Nothing
I couldn't make a top 11 list because no one does that so Wale had to just miss the cut. This mixtape is great but I just thought that there were 10 others better, which is fine... especially since I have no pull in the world and Jay-Z isn't gonna read this and stop f**king with Wale because he's number 11 on some random ass dude's top mixtape list. Check out his song "The Breeze" ft. Wiz Khalifa.
The Top Ten List is coming soon! What What!
