ML3’s Top Albums of 2025

This year was filled with many solid projects, as independent artists released their first projects, legends made returns, and established stars continued their runs of success. While there wasn't the full blown battle that we seen in 2024, 2025 was still an eventful year in music. I hope that you all enjoy my collection of the year's most memorable projects.

Album of The Year: Clipse - Let God Sort Em Out

I had to give album of the year to Clipse. The duo returned to glory on their first album since 2009, and they didn't dissapoint. From elite features, becoming independent with a distribution deal (a story for another article) and the results speak for themselves. If you haven't listened to this album, do yourself a favor and press play.
