Another year has passed. As the ball dropped and everyone went wild, the first thing on my mind was how is the music of 2007 going to top last year’s?

I have compiled a list, in no particular order, of seven albums that are guaranteed to please the ears.

1. Talib Kweli and Madlib –  Liberation

2. Pharoahe Monch - Desire

3.Devin the Dude - Waitin’ to Inhale

4. Ghostface and MF Doom – Swift & Changeable

5. Little Brother – The Getback

6. El-P – I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead

7. UGK – Underground Kingz
