2015 has been one of the biggest years for music releases. Although earlier on, Drake set the bar quite high with his surprise drop for If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, many of the following releases were able to reach its level. We got to witness the stylistic maturation of several artists, such as Kendrick Lamar, A$AP Rocky, Earl Sweatshirt, Tyler, The Creator and Action Bronson — many of whom were only on their sophomore or third releases. This year, we also got to see several debuts from Jamie xx, Kehlani, Joey Bada$$, Jazz Cartier and more. After slimming down a large list of potential candidates, we have compiled 20 of what we believe to be the best albums (as well as other full-length projects not labeled as albums) of the year so far. Vote for your top three choices below. Also, let us know if you think the releases of 2015 have lived up to their hype so far.
