You’ve been patient all year and I really appreciate it. New York City is constantly dropping the heat and it can be hard to keep up. To be honest, it was hard just to whittle this down to 100 albums.

It was a great year for many talented young artists to make waves and there are so many names who didn’t make the list, but whose careers I look forward to seeing grow.

As always this list is limited to albums and EPs only, and it tries to keep things relatively local but doesn’t exclude artists in neighboring communities across Long Island and lower Westchester county.

In Memoriam (Honorable Mentions)

John Coltrane — Blue World

Stack Bundles — Library of a Rockstar Vol. 1–16

Sean P — 86 Witness (w/ Small Professor) / Price of Fame (feat. Lil Fame of M.O.P.)

PREVIOUS YEARS LISTS: 2018 / 2017 / 2016

100. Kyo Itachi + Skanks — Unapologetic
