Top 10 Most UNDERRATED Mixtapes of the Year (2-1)

Okay, so we've finally gotten to the last two underrated mixtapes of the year. I took a break for X-Mas, but I'll start the week off hard (pause). Hope you guys enjoyed the countdown, and found some new music you might not have heard of...

The Kid Daytona - Come Fly With Me

I said it so many times and I'll say it again: The Bronx has no big artists on the radar for hip-hop. It's sad and even unbelievable that the borough that created hip-hop is dead on the mainstream. The Kid Daytona, might be one of the next to try for our borough's throne. Come Fly With Me does a lot of 'fly' talk (then again, isn't that how hip-hop started too??), but has punchlines, dope beats (6th Sense, nuff said), and Daytona has different flows for days. Hopefully he gets the shine he deserves, because the BX needs SOMETHING...

Honestly, did you think anything else would be #1? I didn't have any doubt. Lupe is. by many accounts, the most underrated MC in the game. His mixtape was even themed about how underrated he is. Lupe ripped every beat (wouldn't he be the SHIT if his beat-selection was better?), and showed people that he fits more lines in a song than some on an album. Listen to the mixtape and do your ears a favor.
