Riding the success of The Original Dom Kennedy tape which clocked in at number 20 on my Top 25 Albums of the Year (So Far) list and the acclaim of From Westside With Love mixtape, which dropped in 2010 and was one of the top projects of the year, Dom Kennedy released From Westside With Love II on June 28th. He hails from Leimert Park in Los Angeles and will often be heard saying “Leimert Park what’s cool?” in most of his songs. The thing that Dom Kennedy does the best, is really just have that Cali sound to him. Everything about just has that west coast California vibe. Dom has been on the come up for quite some time now and he is finally starting to reach superstar status.

Top 25 Albums of the Year (So Far)

It’s hard to believe that we are already halfway through 2011. Even harder for some to believe that there have been so many good releases in music already. That being said I’ve cooked up my Top 25 releases of the year so far. Rather than try to breakup mixtapes and official releases (which have become pretty much one in the same lately), I decided to lump them all together and give you my take on the twenty-five best releases at the midway point of 2011. Hit the jump for the countdown and let me know what your favorites are in the c-section!
