This Month in Music November '10
Hip Hop makes its presence felt this November with a laundry list of highly anticipated albums that will surely be making their way to your iTunes playlist in the coming weeks. N.E.R.D starts things off with "Nothing", a musically diverse album of soulful, rock-laced melodies, and a healthy helping of the group's trademark club bangers. Coming off a huge viral hit with, F*ck You, Cee-Lo comes in with a ton of momentum with "Lady Killer" and that same day Mr. Rager releases a sequel to his critically acclaimed debut with "Man on The Moon 2: The Legend of Mr. Rager." Last but certainly not least, one of year's most hyped albums closes out the month via the busiest man in Hip Hop, Kanye West with "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy."

Two albums we think are worthy of your ears this month come from the newly minted trio, Fistful of Mercy, with their soulful debut, As I Call You Down, and the always brilliant Sufjan Stevens with "The Age of Adz" which ends in a rather remarkable 25 minute track, you heard right, and you thought Stairway to Heaven was long.
