Here’s a list (in no particular order) of some mixtapes and LPs to keep your eye out for in 2011, as well as a few rumored projects that have either been delayed, or hinted at. Sure, some of them might have been scrapped or renamed (you never can truly know *cough* The Lost Tapes 2 *cough*), and there’s surely plenty I’m missing, but for now, this list should hold you down for what to expect this year.
