Avatar 6:51pm Billy Jam:

This show is dedicated to MF Doom (1971-2020) whose death at age 49 was announced yesterday - the last day of a fucked up year.
The first two Best of 2020 Hip-Hop were back in October during the WFMU Hellraiser series - archived for playback - some artists/albums from those first two shows might overlap here in this final/third part of the best of 2020 - a subjective overview - but many others too. But. essentially 2020 was another great year for hip-hop.
