Final mix of the year and its my final pick of the new tracks released in 2017. I'ts obviously a companion piece to parts one and two, and includes some nice tracks from Gwen Bunn, Darien Dean, Jay Z and more.

Just as an aside, if your gonna pick 1 LP to purchase this year, it'd have to be The PLaylist feat Glenn Lewis with Chasing Goosebumps.  Pretty much great from start to finish, its definitely my LP of the year with close runners Moonchild's VOYAGER and Omar's LP released earlier this year.
