Deep Fried Blends 5: ATL Edition by DJ Prophecy
True Story - Future
Summer Dreams - Scotty
Free Gucci 2 : The BURRTISH Invasion - Gucci Mane/Sinden/Mad Decent

but the best best best best album of the year? BEST BEST?

The Ashtray by DJ Burn One

two hours of slow, skeezy pornographic knockin' boots instrumentals.
