hello and welcome to the last and final
video of 2021 mere name irwin karep and
today we will be going through what went
on to become the most difficult
countdown to compile today i'll tell you
my top 10 albums of 2021 this year saw
steep incline when it comes to the
number of albums released therefore it
makes picking my top 10
even tough birthday albums are going to
be left out of the countdown because
we're just discussing the top 10. and
after constantly changing the rankings
and the order a million times i think we
are ready for this video also a
disclaimer there has been a shift in the
album release strategy where artists
prefer to release one song at a time
that means albums like home by
would not be on the list because this is
specifically for 2021 albums only also
the projects the term itself as mixtapes
won't be considered to so with that
don't forget to comment your list below
for now let's jump right into it number
10 per hair slam book by frappe ash an
album that aims to take you down the
memory lane as the name suggests slam
book as an album has a schoolboy sort of
personality talking about the goods and
the badge of a student's life with a
lighter undertone
from chasing girls to having larger than
live dreams this album has a buffet of
well executed sub genres the album is
pretty small and quick with just 8
tracks in the roster but apart from that
it definitely hits the ball out of the
park and makes its place in the top 10.
number 9
khan if you have not heard faran khan i
think this album has the potential to
surprise you like how it has
self-reflecting mellow tracks like awaze
and bar feasts like 100 bars and
godfather the production in this album
is absolutely top notch especially in
the sample heavy tracks
[Music]
there's a huge probability that this
album has been flying under your radar
it's time to change that khan sahab by
faran khan is placed
it is difficult to surprise the scene
that they are now aware about your
limits and your limitation
absolutely shattered those limits with
his album i this album is just under 30
minutes and every song is good enough to
be someone's favorite from conversation
to moja to demon to level up each song
has its own flavor and caters to a
different kind of an audience i album
does the trick and hence secures its
spot at number eight number seven for
him
by youngsta i just love this project
this album has one of the best intro and
outro combination that captures the feel
of an intro and outro really well
[Music]
[Music]
is easily one of the most addictive
hooks of this year don't believe me
here's a snippet
[Music]
just tune into this album and forget the
skip button you won't need it methyl
will keep you engaged in itself
throughout therefore it is placed at
number seven
it is called the human nation by smokey
the ghost
as a desi artist smokey's delivery is
very unconventional and that makes him
an acquired taste in dhh this album is
filled with golden features like dmc
rafter sikandar kalo epr and my personal
favorite yashraj's
smokey's previous album the human form
was a class apart and so is the human
nation and hence is placed at number six
spot trouble calms and trouble goes
while troubleshooting my money holds and
the wayner troubles it shovels more on
the skin that covets my covers blown i'm
drenched now we have reached the top
five the toughest ones to rank actually
you can rearrange all these five in
random order and the list can still make
sense to some people because they are
good in their own way but the list
should go on so number five is
there's not much left to say about this
album i have a separate video on it no
album and i repeat no album blew up in
the scene like this one in 2021. sub
chair offers something to every
listeners every mood every vibe every
sub genre and more
[Music]
if you want to know about this album in
detail i suggest you check out my video
on this album for now this album surely
one of the audience's favorite in 2021
holds the number 5 spot
futuristic sound of the album pushes the
theme of the album it had depth and
conveyed a story based on a very topical
situation that makes writing such an
album even more difficult
[Music]
i keep thinking
i picture all the moments roses
the animated video the sound the theme
the lyrics work as a cohesive unit for
this one green heart astronaut therefore
is placed at number 4.
entering the top three third number
plays here this 11 song long album with
absolutely zero skips the voyage by goa
trap culture and sumaioki i don't wanna
give my jackets to you one time one time
i don't know what happened to you i'm
fine this album did considerably well
but i still feel it is way too
underrated for the kind of music it has
the artist involved managed to give out
a very youthful and flamboyant flavor to
the sound of the album that is pretty
evident when you listen to it every song
in the album passes the vibe check
absolutely zero skips in this album you
must check it out right now if you
haven't already the voyage is at number
three
[Music]
now i don't think there'll be any
surprises when i tell you top to make
conci albums
however orders locally
for me number two plays heavy album that
puts the genius of jokey at display
khanna
mad musicality crazy flows heavy bars
brilliant production this 12 song album
was released in the span of 10 months
and offers not even a single dull moment
throughout
[Applause]
[Music]
as i mentioned the production quality
the hook and for a change sequencing was
on point with this album i feel it's
very soon to call an album classic but
i'm absolutely sure at least take it as
my prediction that this album will go
down as a classic in they say hip hop
for guessing a masterpiece by prabhdeep
called tabia
[Music]
i don't understand punjabi well and you
guys know that but the sound the sample
of the album has a voice of its own
whether it is a metallic cycle chain is
rugged sort of a sample or the use of
synth to create dreamy images in the
mind of a listener everything has been
pulled off to perfection in this one the
album name and every song name has a
five letter title is it because punjab
means five rivers i don't know i'm just
guessing but nevertheless prabhdev's
knack of playing with sounds melodies
fields and hooks
makes tabia the best dhh album for me
yet not only in 2021 but the best album
yet
