— 2022 is just about over, so let’s take this time to check out some of the best Hip-Hop albums to be released this year!

2022 has been a stellar year in Hip-Hop and don’t let anyone tell you any different! As we approach the new year and our favorite acts recharge for 2023, we decided to reminisce on some of 2022’s best Hip-Hop albums with our own top 20 list.

Although most lists only reserve slots for 10 albums, in today’s music climate that’s simply not enough. In fact, our list of 20 was still incredibly hard to make even after adding a few honorable mentions. The bottom line is, there’s way too much AMAZING Hip-Hop being made that the mainstream media and world at large don’t appreciate. That’s where we come in…

Not everyone is expected to find this list to be perfect (we’re not even sure that we do), but we did our best and we would LOVE to hear your feedback. With that being said, check out our list of 2022’s Top 20 Full-Length Solo Hip-Hop Albums.
