Hip-Hop Albums of the Year

Tommy Whispers — Tommy Unchained

Tommy Whispers is one of the last rappers to try to get out of the parks and gardens of Staten Island, New York. A forgotten member of the Wu-Tang-affiliated TMF, and also part of the short-lived partnerships Hawk & Kryme and Loudmoufs, the boy packs a dozen songs into what appears to be his first legitimate solo effort. Intro, outro and eleven songs that also boast Inspectah Deck of Wu-Tang Clan and Dom PaChino of Killarmy as guests. Tommy's performance is uninspired and his choice in the selection of beats is a little bit poor, the rhythms are generic and insipid, invented by amateurs. "Hi-Caliber Rap" and "J.A.M.A.L. in N.Y.C." are the songs that stand out from the tracklist, the rest is a forgettable mixtape.
