Underneath his mysterious metal mask, MF Doom hides the cachet underground legends are made of.

14-time grammy-winner kanye west returns with a new album 'my beautiful dark twisted fantasy'.

The double album is Lamar's first studio album release since Damn (2017), his first album release under his creative collective PGLang, and his final project with TDE (under which he previously released four albums and was one of their flagship artists).

Often cited as one of the best hip-hop albums of the '90s, 'Illmatic' is the undisputed classic upon which Nas' reputation rests.

36 Chambers, an insular and weird album by design, arrived not a moment too soon in a decade where insular and weird music found unexpected traction in the mainstream.

Melt My Eyez See Your Future arrives as Denzel Curry’s most mature and ambitious album to date. 

Decades later, Mecca and the Soul Brother stands as a watermark of the boom-bap era.

"On paper, a full collaborative album from NYC's notorious rap villain DOOM and space-age production from Jneiro Jarel can't fail. In practice, it's even better. DOOM is in the form of his life here." Mojo

Freddie Gibbs is the product of violent, drug-laden streets but unlike most rappers with similar resumes, he brings the block to the booth without inhibition or an exaggerated rap persona.

808s and Heartbreak is the groundbreaking album from Kanye West.

The Mouse and the Mask was produced by Lex super-producer Danger Mouse and masked supervillain MF Doom. 

Ta1300 (taboo) is the third album by Denzel Curry.
