Similar to last year, we have asked our DJs and Urban department music heads to select their favorites of this year for 7 different categories. We will be logging the results throughout the next few days in the following parts:
Part 1: Best Album (12.30.16-AM)
Part 2: Song of the Year (12.30.16 – PM)
Part 3: Best Music Video/ Best New Artist/ Best Bay Area Album/Producer of the Year/ Best Live Performance (12.30.16)
This year was an amazing year musically with artists such as Isaiah Rashad, Mick Jenkins, Schoolboy Q, Anderson.Paak, Mac Miller, Chance the Rapper all dropping well-received albums, and similarly Bay Area artists Rexx Life Raj, Caleborate, Traxamillion, Elujay, Jetpack Jones & Tone Oliver and others dropping some of their best work yet. Combine these with other notable projects from artists such as Chuuwee & Trizz, Noname, Bas, and countless others, and we realized we had our work cut out for us. We also witnessed veterans A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Royce Da 5’9, Masta Ace and others dropping projects that exceeded expectations, which were pretty high to begin with.

Elujay’s “Respirate/Atlas” is one of the standout tracks off Jentrify, which was an an amazing debut for the young artist out of Oakland.

7. Chuuwee & Trizz – Location, Location (feat. Sahtyre)
Produced by: Montage
Besides the fact that several of our jurors including myself are in this music video, this was one of the most played tracks on KSJS this year, and given that all 3 artists spit some of their most memorable verses on this track (which if you follow these guys, you know is a big deal since they are all great lyricists, respectively). From Trizz’s laid-back gangsta cadence, to Chuuwee switching up his flow and Sahtyre’s bars with even more shock value than usual, this track is one that several of our crew found to be outstanding.

6. Kaytranada – Got It Good (feat. Craig David)

4. Rexx Life Raj – Running Man
Produced by: Mike Gao

3. Traxamillion – Days Inn (feat. City Shawn)
Produced by: Traxamillion
Traxamillion had a great year in 2016 dropping The Trap Addict EP and The Tech Boom LP, which boasted 16 tracks with some of San Jose’s dopest emcees and vocalists over Trax’s signature production. The most popular song on the album was undoubtedly “Days Inn” featuring City Shawn, who seemed his most comfortable on the banger. City’s flows and memorable lines combine well with Trax’s addicting basslines to provide for San Jose’s most infectious anthem of 2016.

Produced by: FrancisGotHeat
Isaiah Rashad’s 4r Da Squaw is a unique track which is a great representation of The Sun’s Tirade, which was our crew’s selection for #1 hip-hop album of the year. The track sees him speaking on some very relatable subjects and the video further highlights these ideals.

1. Cal-A – Broke No More (feat. Rexx Life, Jay Ant & Caleborate)
Produced by: Cal-A
It was pretty much clear that this amazing Bay Area collaboration was the most popular song of 2016 amongst our crew. It was the only song that was voted as #1 song of the year by multiple crew members, and not 2 or 3, but FOUR different people thought this was the best song of the year. Cal-A taps Bay Rexx Life Raj, Jay Ant and Caleborate for 3 fire verses and Raj and Caleborate who both had massive achievements in 2016 take turns rapping/harmonizing the catchy hook, which is something everyone can relate to. Ain’t nobody trying to be broke in 2017, thats for sure.
