Fans have been badgering Andre 3000 to drop his debut solo album that has been allegedly in the works for years. With the shift occurring in hip hop as far as what is being brought to the surface of importance, this may be the best time for Three Stacks to give us the long-awaited project. Jay Electronica has been sitting on the rumors of his anticipated album to drop, and yet we still don’t have anything hitting our ears. This year, rappers such as King Los, Kendrick Lamar, The Game, Lupe Fiasco, A$AP Rocky, and many more were able to drop amazing, eye-opening albums. This is proof that hip hop is paving a way for conscious rap to make its way to the surface, rather than keeping itself at the bottom of the music ocean.

This is a crucial time, as hip hop is in the middle of a transition, and it can easily go back to its old ways, or it can go back to its even older, conscious ways. The choice is up to the listeners, but mostly all of you wise rappers out there.
