Best San Diego Rap, 2011
The obligatory End of Year list. As far as San Diego rap music goes, 2011 wasn’t as good as 2010. Deal with it.
Here are my choices for Top 25 SD Rap/Hip-Hop Songs in 2011. The only rule I had was that there was only one song per artist (features don’t count against an artist, but that turned out not to be an issue). They’re arranged loosely in order of what I’ve written about most recently, except for the first two songs which immediately popped in my head as highlights (which is extremely ironic because I get the feeling that neither of those artists like me all that much). You can click the link for each song to go to the original post where you can actually listen to the song in question.
