Another Morpheus Soul Favourite and Brixton’s finest Ty hit us up with his fantastic album ‘Special Kind Of Fool’ which is shaping up to be one of the best hip-hop albums of 2010. The first single from the album ‘Emotions’ beat off the competition for two weeks back in March.

Southern California Trio Like, Mibbs & BeYoung along with L.A. emcee TiRon held down the number one position for two weeks in Mar/Apr.

12. Ty ft.
Sway &
Roses Gabor - Heart Is Breaking (Special Kind Of Fool)

Whosane - Taxi
The track was originally supposed to feature on the recently released ‘24 Hour Karate School’ but was replaced with the instrumental. Held down the top spot for the first week in May.

8th W1 ft.
Homeboy Sandman - No Harm [Modified Party Version]
Deep & Ben Boogs aka 2hungry Bros. emailed me this track earlier in the year featuring two of the best emcees in the game right now. The track is so HOT it couldn’t be touched for four weeks at number one back in May/June.
16. Erykah Badu - Gone Baby, Don’t Be Long (New Amerykah, Part II: Return of the Ankh)
A second number one for Miss Badu from a fantastic album but only holding down the top spot for one week.

Carroll Thompson - Something Big (Special Kind Of Fool)
Originally entered the charts at number five on the 1st May for one week only but re-entered in June after witnessing a superb live performance at London’s World Famous Jazz Café. ‘Something Big’ made it a total of four number one’s for Ty. ‘Special Kind Of Fool’ is the only album to have four number ones, not only this year but in the history of Morpheus Soul. Congratulations!
18. Zo! ft.
Sy Smith - Greatest Weapon Of All Time (Sunstorm)
One of the best producers on the planet right now. Lorenzo Ferguson dropped the sublime album ‘Sunstorm’ a few months back and this track held down the top spot for two weeks back in July. Most definitely one for your collection.
19. The Roots ft.
Blu,
Phonte &
Patty Crash - The Day (How I Got Over)

20. YahZarah ft.
Phonte - Cry Over You (The Ballad Of Purple Saint James)
The Foreign Exchange family could do no wrong this year. As we anticipate their latest album ‘Authenticity’, The Ballad Of Purple Saint James was another Morpheus Soul favourite for 2010. Two weeks at number one in August!
21. Dwele - Hangover (Wants World Women)
Dwele having a number one on The Morpheus Soul Show is nothing new. When he keeps providing big tunes like this for the listener’s ears it’s never a surprise. One week at the top spot.
22. Homeboy Sandman - The Essence [Prod By.
2 Hungry Bros.] (The Good Sun)
One of our favourite hip-hop albums this year, from an out of this world emcee. Not many rappers can come close to the extraordinary skills of Homeboy Sandman in 2010. With production from them 2 Hungry Bros this lethal cocktail held down the number one spot for two weeks last month.
23. Erik Rico &
Marc Mac - Destiny (Direct Soul EP)
The EP is now released for you to purchase and this track is simply magnificent. Our last number one for our 2010 Number One Special and that was four weeks at the top spot for Erik Rico & Marc Mac’s “Destiny”.
