2015 has been a great year for rap and hip hop. We have seen new releases from Drake, A$AP Rocky, Big Sean and more. Some of these artists have actually released career defining and game changing albums. Lets have a look at some of the best and worse releases.

I chose these because they offered something new for each artist and sounded unlike any other rap albums released in the last few years.
- Drake - If You're Reading This Its Too Late
- Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp A Butterfly
- A$AP Rocky - At.Long.Last.A$AP
- Logic - The Incredible True Story
- Action Bronson - Mr. Wonderful
- Mac Miller - GO:OD A.M.
- Travis Scott - Rodeo
- Big Sean - Dark Sky Paradise

Worst Releases
These are not terrible albums, they are just not up to par with other albums or the artists previous albums.
- Tyler, The Creator - Cherry Bomb
- Kid Ink - Full Speed
- Future - DS2
- Drake & Future - What A Time To Be Alive

The year is not over, Kanye West, Machine Gun Kelly and more are still scheduled to drop albums later this year. This is arguably the best year for rap and hip hop in ages.
