Beanie Sigel's "Feel it in the air" track is one I still play from 2004. It was produced by the legendary Heavy D who passed away in 2011. The piece catches your ear immediately with the smooth melody, the laid back high hats of the sample from Raphael Ravenscroft: Whole Lotta Something Goin On. Along with Melissa's voice in the background and on the hook its a beautiful work of music.

Nevelle Viracocha's "Astral Hour" is in my opinion the most slept on underground song of 2013. Produced by Silent Mike, it has a fluid, smooth, feel on the intro and when the beat drops the transition is so smooth and brings the track to life when the kick's come in on the verse. It keeps the same feel throughout the verse and after the verse, you get a spacey, beautiful composition. Check it out here.
3. Missy Elliott - On & On
Missy Elliott's "On & On" is such a cool track and was my favorite song back when I heard it back in 2005. Pharrell Williams and the Neptunes produced this track for her for her "Cookbook" album. The track is crazy because of the wobble and how the bassline flows with it. The punchy kicks bring the whole track to life, and the DJ effect on the hook with Missy's voice is what makes me love it so much.
2. Drake - Over My Dead Body
Drakes "Over My Dead Body" was so cool to me because at the time back in 2011, I had never heard anything that smooth before. The vocal stylings of Chantel Kreviazuk on the hook and the production by 40 noah make this song beautiful. This is the song that made me a Drake fan and it was only the intro. I got a feel for how the album would be from the intro and it didn't disappoint.
1. Kanye West - All Of The Lights
At number 1, who could forget the song that made the world love Kanye Again after the Taylor Swift incident. This track is one of my all time favorite songs, not just productions, but the whole song. With production by Kanye with a full roster of personnel on the composition along with the vocal stylings of an even more impressive roster, it's no wonder Kanye won multiple grammy's for it.
