Mixtapes and freely distributed albums are one of the best way an artist can get their music out to a mass amount of people. Some mixtapes are so-so, and others just blow you away. Some are so good it's hard to believe they are free. and that's why every single one of these artists are blowing up so fast. 2010 had a huge amount of quality mixtapes/ free albums, and it was hard, but I've picked the 15 best, and a few honorable mentions because it was too hard to pick just 15. Now all of these albums are amazing, and if you haven't heard them definetely download it and check it out. I've also picked one of my favorite tracks off each one to give you a sampling. Check out some mixtapes you may have forgot about, or some new ones you haven't heard yet.
