CyHi - Black Hystori Project
HipHopDX
80

The flaws that previously hindered his progress have been addressed on this new mixtape, and if CyHi continues on this path, fans can raise their expectations for his debut album Hardway Musical.

mgk - Lace Up
HipHopDX
60

Lace Up is an imbalanced project that fails to establish MGK’s grand message. His debut is decent at best.

Future - Pluto
HipHopDX
40

At times tasteful and other times tasteless, Pluto demonstrates a bravado that knows no shame. Time will tell whether Future’s cheeky style is simply a passing faze or a trend that others will carry a torch for. Here’s to hoping few will.

JAY-Z & Kanye West - Watch the Throne
HipHopDX
80

Today's Hip Hop scene has a rotating cast of notable stars, yet Watch The Throne simply wouldn't have felt the same had it been two different rappers converging for something this monumental.

Kid Cudi - Man On The Moon II: The Legend Of Mr. Rager
HipHopDX
70
A tortured soul, yes, but one with ingenious capabilities, Cudi has taken his progressive style and in just two albums has turned it into a sound that no one would dare replicate.
Kid Cudi - Man On The Moon: The End Of Day
HipHopDX
80

As Kid Cudi’s profile has grown over the past year and a half, it was still uncertain as to what kind of role he would play; rapper, singer, experimental artist, producer? With Man On The Moon, it’s clear he’s all that he said he was.
