Champion Sound #10: feat. Rolling Hip Hop’s best of 2012
It's time again for us to look back over a year's worth of music - meaning, for me, it's time to think of some way to make sense of a year's worth of rap records. In some regards, trying to round up a year in hip hop is even harder than in other genres. The division between chart-friendly, club-ready singles and wordy, underground writtens can sometimes feel like you're dealing with different types of music entirely. How exactly should we compare the dense, poetic ramblings of say - Aesop Rock, with the synthetic energy of somebody like Future or Gunplay? Yet all these things have their place, and hip hop without one or the other would feel sorely lacking.

Completely Agree with Ryan Hemsworth
Most on point producer for me this year, does cloud but remembers people are listening to it rather than disappearing into an ego mix like a lot of the cloud stuff can I reckon.
Champion Sound is by far my favourite feature on DiS,each time it either turns me onto something new. The hip hop and rap threads on the forum are also my favourite too, everyone's opinion is valued and it's far more inclusive than other areas of the forum , just look at the threads around Miguel or Kendrick Lamar. Never descends into snideyness. Let's hope 2013 is as rich as 2012 was
