8 Incredible Albums You Missed In 2018

If you're feeling a bit unsatisfied with the current state of hip hop or you'd rather get cracked in the jaw by Anthony Joshua then listen to the latest Lil Uzi Vert or Migos record, then you're not alone in your contempt for what the genre is quickly becoming.

However, all hope is not lost as Royce Da 5'9's latest, Book of Ryan, is for the fan who require a little more content in their hip hop. Not only is this album his most personal ever, especially with standout tracks like Cocaine, which focuses on the devastating personal addictions he and his father both went through, it's also his most accessible record he's ever made, and that's without having to dumb down his skills as a rapper.

Like a fine wine, Royce is only getting better with age and an album like this only proves that unlike many of his peers, his lyrical ability has managed to stand the test of time.
