We’ve seen some great album releases thus far in 2012, and as the summer winds down, we turn our attention to the fall and winter, which always seems to bring out new releases from heavy hitters. That is the case again this year, as we expect new LP’s from prominent artists like Kendrick Lamar, Lupe Fiasco, Big Boi, Kid Cudi & more, as well as a slew of mixtapes from the likes of Freddie Gibbs, The Alchemist, Action Bronson, Mr. MFN Exquire, and Rockie Fresh. Peep our most anticipated Hip Hop albums of the remainder of 2012. Let us know what you think of the list, and who we left off. Also, stay tuned for our list of mixtapes that will come later this week.
