Favorite Hip Hop Albums/EPs of 2024

Welcome to 2025! If you got a chance to view our recent Out Da Box Talks Youtube Show during the previous Weekend, my brothers A-Level, Mark, and Kuligett along with yours truly Cril shared our top 10 Favorite Hip Hop Albums of 2024. We also shared some of our honorable mentions at the close of the show. However, as usual this time of the year, I like to post and update the full list here on our Out Da Box Media blog with some artwork to go along. I updated this list with my top 50 Albums/EPs of 2024 as well, and boy was it a super difficult list to pick from. But If you want to take a closer look of the varitey of dope Hip Hop projects that came out each month, I encourage you to go back to our monthly "Best Of Hip Hop List". Stay tuned for our upcoming Favorite Soul Albums/EPs post coming up next.

In the meantime check out our Favorite Project selections from the Out Da Box Talks team "Cril, A-Level, Mark and Kuligett". Check it out below
