More stand out rap for 2016. I also enjoyed music from YG, Havoc, Sach, Cody ChesnuTT, NBA Youngboy, ATCQ and everything here.

Updated because I left off this Wiki song I played a bunch of times

Wiki – Seed Motherf*cker
Megalon & MeccaGodZilla – Tha Track Killa
Sindian ft AA Rashid Dirty Macking
TurboMex – Lover of the Day
KA – Just
Shirt – Summer Not Coming
Homeboy Sandman – Kindness For Weakness
Bambu – Whiteface
MC White Owl & DJ Mondee – BeefEater and Tonic
Gun Dola – Police

I stay losing in 2016 but mostly monetarily, purchasing AAC audio files and mp3s that I couldn’t find on soundcloud or streaming somewhere, cassette releases that I’d rather bump on tape than stream (like the excellent 13th Floor), and limited edition 45s that I end up preferring to stream than play the record: J-Zone’s Go Back To Selling Weed, Doug Shorts (produced by San Francisco’s Mian Mein Ensemble), Fone-One, just to name a few.
