Raekwon is dropping a new EP (in a roundabout way), while The Roots come "UNDUN" next week and 2012 looks like it'll be starting off right.

If it weren't for a handful of great albums coming in December, skipping to 2012 would be the move. However, that's not the case. December opens with Amy Winehouse's final masterpiecing Lioness: Hidden Treasures. Salaam Remi took a bunch of old Amy tracks, reworked some (adding Nas to "Like Smoke" ) and put together a tight work. Even ?uestlove pops up on the album, so definitely check it out when it drops the first week of December. Speaking of ?uestlove, The Roots come through with their concept album UNDUN. The album is intense, and will surely show a different side of The Legendary.

Jumping ahead into 2012, Strong Arm Steady, Statik Selektah, and Sha Stimuli are the first January announcements with Statik and SAS collaborating on StereoType January 2nd, and Sha's The Calling on January 12th. Then a week later we finally get that Ja Rule album Pain Is Love 2. Rule's camp let go of the final version of "Real Life Fantasy"  this week along with some diary entries. Kid Cudi and Dot Da Genius close out January 2k12 with their W Z R D project.
