#9. G.O.O.D. Music- Cruel Summer

Everybody should know by now that Kanye West doesn't sleep.  With a group of some of the hottest rappers and singers out right now, the man doesn't have time.  He made sure that this compilation album held a spot in our music library this year, which is why him and his crew get the number nine spot for Cruel Summer.

G.O.O.D Music didn't disappoint with GOOD Fridays this year before the release. With hits like "Mercy," "Clique," and "Cold," Mr. West and the rest of G.O.O.D. owned the radio this year.  "New God Flow" and "I Don't Like" (introducing Chicago's own Chief Keef) were bangers this year.  And even if it wasn't a single, each of the album's songs were replay-worthy.  As said in my first post about this album, G.O.O.D. Music brought the heat on tracks like "The Morning," "Sin City," and "The One," and kept us entertained with featured artists like Ghostface Killah, Ma$e and R. Kelly. The production on this album was BANANAS, as we knew it would be.

Special shoutout to Teyana Taylor, she wasn't on it much but she did her thing on "Bliss."  I've been following her career since "Google Me Baby" and it's nice to see how far she has come.

Big ups to G.O.O.D. Music.  We didn't get the rumored Cruel Winter but there's still hope in the next few months, and we have releases from Kid Cudi, Pusha T, and Kanye's 6th studio album to look forward to.  2013 is gonna be G.O.O.D.  Watch some videos and listen to some of the album below:
