So here it is. Our final part of our Best of 2012 coverage concludes with our top 50 tracks of the year. I’ll avoid the clichés, but this has been a tough list to put together and a special thanks to everyone who produced great music throughout the year for making it tough. It’s been fun.
We’ve still got our guestlists for 2012, which will be coming up each day this week and then we’ll be returning to regular goodness. But for now, enjoy the end of the year with our Top 50 Tracks of 2012.
It’s a cliché itself, but what a great year we’ve had. It’s just been packed with so much great music as hip-hop diversifies, there’s one thing for sure – hip-hop ain’t dead. So why don’t we get down to what you came here for? A list of our favourite albums of 2012 for you to skim-read. Then once you’re done, let us know your albums of the year in the comments below.
The second song from Tommorow People has the same type of vibe The Physics are so good at. Great track for the summer/late night chilling sessions. The production on this one is handled by Jake One, who is also fully producing Brother Ali’s upcoming album Mourning In America and Dreaming In Color.
Days is the first single off of The Physics upcoming LP titled Tomorrow People. This album follows up on the success of Love Is A Business, which came out last year. This is great laid-back chill track for the summer, and I can’t wait to hear the full album.
We continue our countdown of the top 50 tracks of 2011 with those just outside the top 20.

Lesson is about progressive & cliché-free hip-hop with intelligent lyrics. Striving for something more than the mainstream perception of hip-hop. This means no misogyny, no glorification of drug-use, no violence and no played out flaunting of personal wealth.
