Let’s take a sec to look back on a year of great music this Mixtape Monday with the Best of 2018.
This week’s roundup features over thirty projects from some of the brightest rising talents in true school, experimental and progressive music. Kryptonyte, Nanna. B, Bobby Earth, Allysha Joy, Big Mon, Moods, Bozack Morris, The Futurelics, Butcher Brown, Te’Amir, DJM trio, Buddy and Lando Chill are just a few of the artists featured.
By no means the only standouts this year, these artists were responsible for the projects that landed (in no particular order) at the top of the shortlist pile. Looking ahead to the coming calendar year, it should be no surprise to see some of these artists making a whole lot of noise in 2019.
