Hip-Hop Albums of the Year

Elcamino — Money for Bail


Second effort of the year for Elcamino after the collaborative tape with 38 Spesh that fans and insiders have decided to set aside. Until now, the choice to provide mini EPs as if they were official studio albums isn't paying for the Buffalo rapper: this project, which can also be found under the name "The Minotaur", boasts nine tracks and lasts less than eighteen minutes, is free of weaknesses and aided by a production excellent, full of killer bars projected with a smooth flow and dope by the rapper. The guests all suffer a little in front of Elcamino, but they offer flowing verses and some are covered by a soulful female sample looped in the background which facilitates the fluidity of the songs, if needed. Among the guests who do better, I think Miserable Genius should be mentioned: on the simple and somber light jazzy rhythm of "Plague", that rapper from Buffalo rips the song with a calm and velvet delivery, excellent test.
