01. Nate57 – Stress aufm Kiez
The debut album from Nate57 who lives around the corner from my place. I usually listened to „Stress aufm Kiez“ on my way to work and got much respect for the fact, that he did #37 in german album charts as a newcomer.

02. Far East Movement – Free Wired
In my opinion, this one is the most innovative album in 2010. I really enjoyed listening to the mixture of Electro and Rap mostly at work to push myself when I was getting tired…

Recommendable Tracks:
Girls On The Dance Floor, Like A G6, If I Was You
03. Sade – Soldier Of Love
The counterpart to Far East Movement’s „Free Wired“ and in my eyes the most laid back album in 2010. Sade’s „Soldier Of Love“ album used to bring me down when I was nervous and full of stress.

04. The Roots – How I Got Over
The Roots‘ latest stand alone project is more than a solid work to me. The track „Now Or Never“ is one of my favourite in 2010. Thanks to Josef, who give it to me as a birthday gift.

06. Kanye West – My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
This might be the most anticipated album in 2010, but my expectations were not completely satisfied. However, Kanye’s latest work is much more than solid work and the G.O.O.D. Friday series triggered a new trend in online music marketing. What do you think about it?

07. Eminem – Recovery
For me this is one of the most pop-ish album and Haddaway’s „No Love“ the most surprisingly sample in 2010. I can remember listening to the song when I was on my way to the football city derby Hamburger SV vs. FC Sankt Pauli around the corner where I live. The game result was 1:1 and there was No Love between the fan groups…

08. Black Milk – Album Of The Year
Not my album of the year and I think Black Milk is a better producer than a MC, but I really enjoyed listening to this album. My favourite pick: „Round Of Applause“.
