Crash Course - Street Justice

To know me personally or to only know me virally, you know I have this thing for this misunderstood culture we call hip-hop. I listen to a lot of things on the daily as a blogger, but personally certain artists have been getting played heavily through my speakers and I figured it would be kind of cool to do a "what Alex is listening to" post.  I don't know why I keep listening to them over and over again, but to me, they are all the best thing poppin'. Some are old and some are recent, but my mom always told me that good music has no expiration date. Below you will find 10 mixtapes/albums that have been my sort of 'go to' choice these last few weeks.
