Best Latin Pop Albums of 2013

These are just a few of the great albums that were released this year.

‘Unapologetic’ by Rihanna

Rihanna’s album “Unapologetic” was one of the best Latin pop albums of 2013. It featured a mix of pop, R&B, and dance-pop songs that were popular with Latin audiences. The album was a commercial success, debuting at number one on the US Billboard 200 and selling more than two million copies worldwide.

‘Magna Carta Holy Grail’ by Jay-Z

‘Magna Carta Holy Grail’ is the twelfth studio album by American rapper Jay-Z. It was Jay-Z’s thirteenthNo. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, and was released on July 4, 2013, by Roc-A-Fella Records and Roc Nation. The album features guest appearances by Justin Timberlake, Nas, Frank Ocean, Beyoncé, Rick Ross, Pharrell Williams, and Timbaland.

Jay-Z incorporated external producers for the first time in his career and samples from a variety of music genres to inspire his work. Although similar to his past albums The Blueprint (2001) and The Black Album (2003), Magna Carta Holy Grail departs from thematic content of those albums to focus more on societal issues and hip hop’s place within them. ‘Picasso Baby’, ‘Tom Ford’, ‘BBC’, and ‘Somewhereinamerica’ are considered among the best tracks on the album according to Metacritic.

Magna Carta Holy Grail was nominated for five Grammy Awards at the 56th Grammy Awards: Best Rap Performance (“Holy Grail”), Best Rap/Sung Collaboration (“Part II (On the Run)” with Beyoncé), Best Rap Song (“Holy Grail”), Best Rap Album, and Album of the Year (as a co-producer).

This album is a unique mix of hip hop, R&B, and Latin influences, and it’s one of the freshest-sounding albums in the genre.
