Whenever a rapper and a producer are able to come together for a full-length studio album, or even just a mixtape at that,

it's always very interesting to observe and listen to the project.

Because, you know, you might find the rapper go into a mode where he's putting together a studio album or a mixtape,

and you find 15 different producers on the track list, and you'd like to see how that matches up.

Or let's say you get one producer

compiling an entire track list together of all kinds of different artists, let's say like a Dr. Dre or

a DJ Callet to be more modern. But whenever there's that moment where one producer and one artist

come together, it's always magic because the focus and the chemistry is always at an all-time high.

Usually it ends up becoming an album of the year contender, like example in 2019,

with something like a bandana, and usually you get these legendary moments.

So in today's episode, guys, Lou and I are going to be going through some of the best

rapper slash producer collab albums, and I think Lou may have like one or two mixtapes on there,

if I'm not mistaken. But for the most part, these are great recommendations. And for myself,

at least I could speak from my recommendations, a lot of this stuff might be underground or some

older projects that you guys might not be familiar with. And honestly, these are some of my

favorite types of projects to go through. Absolutely. Just because like you were saying, we always get quality because you get this shared

vision from the artist and the producer. But before we do get started, guys, make sure to give us

five stars. Leave us a kind review if you're enjoying the audio experience. But yeah, listen,

when talking about this, I really try to dig for some more underground, some lesser known or less talked about projects that I feel like do deserve more recognition, more praise, because I could have easily put together push a T and Connie for Dayton or JZNOID for 444.

But we've spoken about those projects and we know how great they are.

So just to say the recommendations that I brought in aren't necessarily the best of the best

when I think of rapper producer albums.
