“For the Record”, Torae’s New Album is F**king Ridiculous (Album Listen & Buy)

I love when rappers do my work for me. I could go on and on about how Torae's "For the Record" is already lining up to be one of the best NYC rap albums of the year, breakdown how it's a return to completely uncompromising hip-hop....or you could just press play on "You Ready" below. If you don't think that shit's dope, you and I are no longer friends. It's really that simple.

"You Ready" is far from an anomaly, the entire album is loaded. Just check out these production credits: DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Large Professor, 9th Wonder, Diamond D etc. etc. etc. I'll stop before I start sounding like a complete stan, but thankfully Torae's music more than backs me up.

Head over to that link below to hear a full stream of the album, and directly purchase if you're feeling so inspired. This shit right here? This shit makes me hopeful about hip-hop's future.
