Blue Collar

If you're a hip-hop fan you should definitely pick up Rhymefest's album Blue Collar. It's easily one of the best two albums of the year along with Ghostface's Fishscale. Just a wonderful debut album full of fun songs with hot beats (Dynomite, Brand New), poignant themes (Bullet) and even humor (Build Me Up). The lyrics are consistently strong, and it's another testament to the fine company that Kanye West keeps.
