I don’t know if 2008 was a resurgence of hip-hop, if I’ve finally caught up with some of the more promising acts of the past couple years, or if its just that I’m still catching my breath from Tronic… but I have renewed hope for hip-hop in 2009. So I’m kicking the year off with a selection of more recent hip-hop that has been getting steady rotation on my headphones.
