The month of February brought many surprises in Hip-Hop. DJ Premier partnered with ambient songstress Yuna, for some boom bap vibe music. Blu rocked on a 45 King track reminiscent of “Hard Knock Life.” Kendrick Lamar and Ice Cube got funky with Funkadelic. The Game waxed poetic with nothing but a piano as his accompaniment. And, Macklemore released a collabo with none other than KRS-One (with an assist from DJ Premier). It all helped the winter month pass by quickly, even with an extra day.

Here’s a playlist featuring the best Hip-Hop that February had to offer, with a little bit of January’s finest sprinkled in, since that month got away from us. In addition to the artists above, you’ll hear music from Elzhi, Joell Ortiz, Drake, J Dilla, Xzibit, Nick Grant, Pusha T, D.I.T.C., Black Milk, A$AP Rocky, Kxng Crooked, Bumpy Knuckles, Smoke DZA, Rapper Big Pooh, Dizzy Wright and more.
