Sacha O at Oh Word laments that 2008 has been “a bad year for hip-hop full lengths.” Rather than lunge into a 4500-word rant about it, he decided to do something about it because, well, talk is cheap. Sacha has strewn together a compilation of dope rap music by mostly new MCs, including Cool Kids, Mickey Factz, Jay Electronica, and Wale.
