#1 – J.Cole – Born Sinner
Has J.Cole honestly ever disappointed? From the first time I heard the North Carolina emcee on “Losing My Balance” five years ago to a live performance opening up for Drake in London, the now RocNation artist is well on his way to the #1 crown in HipHop, with only Jay-Z in his way! With J.Cole’s brand new Born Sinner album we hear more impressive flows and real life music that can only be described to Nas esc. Stand out tracks from Born Sinner include: “Miss America” and “Power Trip”, both awesome records. It’s a Cole World!
#2 – Kid Ink – Almost Home EP
Kid Ink is certainly not a new name to the TinMan London pages, and therefore his latest EP, titled Almost Home is our number one pick! Released via RCA Records the project features five previously unheard records and includes guest appearances from the lives of Meek Mill, Wale, A$ap Ferg, French Montanna and more. Personal favorites from Almost Home includes “Bad Ass”, “Bossin” and “Bossin”. Along with the a-list features, you can expect to hear beats courtesy of Devin Cruise, Dwayne “D’town” Nesmith, Allan Ritter, KB, Lifted, Mike Maven, N4, Ned Cameron and Vinylz.

#3 – Ludacris – IDGAF
With success, brings haters and over the years Ludacris has undoubtedly been exceptionally successful. The ATL star has been a consistent performer over the years, not only with music but also a host of movies, including Fast and Furious. The veteran sends a clear message to many on his brand new mixtape suitably titled: IDGAF (I Don’t Give A F*ck).
#4 – Logic – Young Sinatra: Welcome To Forever
Having featured Logic – Young Sinatra: Welcome To Forever back in May, it’s fair to say that we have been more than impressed with the Maryland native. Having landed the XXL Freshmen 2013 crown and signing to Def Jam, the future looks bright for the emcee. Logic has exploded on to the scene delivering his latest 20-track mixtape Young Sinatra: Welcome to Forever, an exceptional free download. Expect appearances from Dizzy Wright, Elijah Blake, Jhené Aiko, Jon Bellion, Kid Ink and Trinidad Jame$. On the boards you can expect to hear production from Arthur, McArthur, C-Sick, 6IX, Don Cannon, Kevin Randolph, KeY Wane, No I.D. and more!
