Special thanks to everyone who uploaded. Apologies for the lateness following the downtime that the I.C. had. Hopefully this will be the best period for The Essence from now onwards. I really like the playlist, hope you do too. I added a lot of tracks to ensure the best of 2011 was covered. I still listen to the playlist from 2004, so I know that these mixes are appreciated and valued for a long time.
I Photoshopped the cover using the best album's of 2009 and adding a special effect before adding the text.
Let us know what you think of the ordering of the playlist as well as your favourite tracks and what you have discovered.
We can all enjoy discussing this in the weeks that follow. A Playlist of the Month for March will follow in a few weeks time.
All the best for 2012.

'Sup Essence Heads,
Every year we build a playlist where we ask posters to upload their TWO favourite INDEPENDENT/UNDERGROUND tracks of the year as mediafire.com links.
At the end of the year, I'll upload those tracks as one complete playlist that flows like water for us all to digest and keep as the great ones of 2011.
This is usually the greatest thread of the year, so I welcome the excitement and hope that we'll have a great playlist as we always have come the 31st!!
We're two years in to the new Essence... last year we discussed retaining 25 members by the end of 2011 (an increase of double what we had back then...); as we look at the present, I think this has all but been achieved, so thank you for your continued support and welcome to our newest posters who have discovered The Essence.
Thanks for your continued efforts and my best wishes for the christmas period to you and yours.UPLOAD YOUR TWO FAVOURITE TRACKS OF THE YEAR!!!RuffDraft wrote:How to upload to mediafire.com:

Props renegade!!! Be sure to come back with the follow up :tui'll drop two in a couple of days
Look forward to them :tu -
There are a lot of records that I think are deserving of being in this play list… I expect them to show up as the thread grows and more people post… Kendrick defintely has a few more tracks deserving of this playlist. Atmosphere, CunninLynguists and the like, will likely show up too. But as it stands, I want to include tracks that I think people may overlook (I can always add in the others if we don't have as many posters as perhaps we'd hope - expect your inboxes to be full of my nagging if you don't drop them in the next few days (as usual lol)).
So with that said, my first pick is:
Co$$ - No Allah -
Uploaded the tracks for Lou, as well as Satyrone.
NO MORE CO$$ TRACKS ALLOWED.
Sorry, too many for the artist who has put out a great album, if you like what you hear, definitely go and cop that!!! -
Props ruff. ive had coss album for awhile but i didnt give it a good listen until recently when i was on the plane. ? is dope! cant wait to get my vinyl!

Elzhi - One Love

Ev, Slug, Aesop - Late for the sky

No doubt, I think he may have the best independent album of the year.. alongside Section. 80. They're great for different reasons...
Point taken :tu
You have to break the rules don't you Trae? LOL.
Aye, it's all good music, real rap!! -
If you haven't already, this is your LAST CHANCE!!! Thread closes tomorrow at midnight.

as a throw in Killer Mike - Ric Flair. I think growing up in the south watching Ric on tv and seeing him in person makes me appreciate this more.
