Dejon Paul's Best and Most Disappointing Albums of the Year from LA Rappers
Los Angeles rap showed out in 2024, with some projects raising the bar for West Coast hip-hop and others falling short of expectations. DeJon Paul highlights the albums that defined the culture this year and those that missed the mark.
Kendrick Lamar’s Faith of a Mustard Seed delivered deeply personal and spiritual reflections, while Tyler, The Creator’s Chromakopia once again proved his unmatched creativity. Snoop Dogg teamed up with Dr. Dre for Missionary, bringing classic West Coast vibes back into the spotlight, and Dom Kennedy’s nostalgic Class of 95 was a love letter to LA’s golden era. Rising stars like Blxst with Dark Times and BlueBucksClan alongside Hit-Boy on The Undisputed Truth continued to show why LA remains at the center of hip-hop innovation.
However, not all releases lived up to the hype. Some projects struggled to leave a lasting impression in a competitive year. Dive into DeJon Paul’s full review to see which albums topped the charts, which ones missed the mark, and why 2024 was still a defining year for LA rap. What were your favorite projects from the West Coast this year?”
