Here's my list so far of the best beats of 2009. Shouldn't be too much of a surprise that DJ Premier tops the list with his amazing David Axelrod ("The Smile") sample. Some of my all-time favorites such as Rza, 9th Wonder, Swizz Beatz, & The Alchemist produced some memorable music this year. Lookout for future releases from Sid Roams, MoSS, Kind Dave & The Antidote as well. Also be on the lookout for Chadimus's picks for Top 10 Beats for 2009.
