albums2009

The end of the year is near, so you know everyone and they mamas be putting together a top 10, 15, 20, 25 albums of 2009. We took it upon ourselves to put together a top 10 albums of 2009, but we’ve also asked some of our friends to break us off with they’re lists as well. So who do we have this year? Ohhhh a not so small band called METRIC! The band collectively worked together and put together a fantastic list as did some of other guests such as one of Canada’s best DJ Pump, Keys N Krates member Flowinsky, our homie Jeff from Booooooom, Tristan from Winniecooper.net and a whole host of other cats you’ll have to scroll down to see. A huge thanks for all our friends that came through and hit us off with their lists, I know for a fact all these folks are busy as hell, so much appreciated.

Now onto the lists. We could’ve had honorable mentions, mine would’ve been Raekwon Only Built 4 Cuban linx 2, La Roux and a couple of others, but we wanted to get to the core, what the hell did our writers and friends listen to throughout the year that kept them hitting repeat. And with that we present you the top 10 albums of 2009. Let the controversy begin.
