      For Pusha T, 2013 saw him release the much-anticipated and critically-acclaimed album 'My Name Is My Name'.

      5. Gucci Mane, 'Trap God'

      Tinashe came out the blocks hard in 2013 with 'Black Water', which was the long-awaited mixtape follow-up to 'Reverie'. Fusing the 90s with her contemporary sound, it plays like the ultimate trip down memory lane that's got one foot firmly in the future.

    9. Best Mixtapes 2013

      9. Chance The Rapper, 'Acid Rap'

      When Chance The Rapper dropped 'Acid Rap' in spring of this year, there wasn't anyone in hip-hop that wasn't talking him. Fast forward to December and it's still the same now that Chance has hooked up with Justin Bieber on a new track. 'Acid Rap' was an event mixtape; one that shown a spotlight on the 20-year-old rapper who, as we head into 2014, looks like he can do no wrong.
