Not the most clever tittle but hey, the year is ending and my mind is out of it!

So to finish off the year that was 2007 and pretty much MixRevolution’s first complete year in action, we reached out to many of our friends and asked them to send us their Top 10 albums and/or single of 2007.

For me I find it only fitting that the first two list come courtesy of some close friends of mine, Shala Esquire of Qualo and JustinJay (The DJ to break in ’08).

Shala is a member of Chicago’s most infamous undeground group Qualo. They are Chicago’s hype masters! With appearances on CNN defending Hip Hop and representing the new Chicago sound all over the US, Shala is one of the men behind Chi Towns new musical movement. So here is his list of favorite albums that came out in 2007:

1.Graduation- Kanye West
2.American Gangster- Jay Z
3.Make Sure They See My Face- Kenna
4.Finding Forever- Common
5.The GetBack- Little Brother
6.Kala- M.I.A.
7.The Cool- Lupe Fiasco
8. The Big Doe Rehab- Ghostface Killah
9.Fancy Footwork- Chromeo
10.As I Am- Alicia Keys

If you want to hear more about THE MOVEMENT he is behind in the Chi then go download Shala’s latest mix for FADER magazine HERE.

On a different note, JustinJay, is sort of part of the MixRevolution.com family, he helps with some of our behind the scenes junk you all don’t care about. But, on the side he has been mixing it up for over 10 years and has been helping promote raves in the LA area for over 15 years. He loves spinning the Indie/ElectroClash sound that is killing LA right now Most recently though, he was the winner of Beatport’s “Open for Felix Da Housecat” contest. he was flown out to NYC and open for the Master at Club Rebel back in November. Click here to read more. Here were his favorite albums of ’07, even though one was released in ’06. I’ll let it slide.

1. lcd soundsystem – sound of silver
2. Goose – Bring it On
3. The Chemical Brothers – We Are the Night
4. Justice – Cross
