1. Dreamchasers 2 by Meek Mill

Released: May 7, 2012

Downloads: 4,916,520

Released in 2012, the album was packed with original tracks and features from top artists like Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and Big Sean. Meek Mill’s powerful lyricism and the impressive production quality helped make Dreamchasers 2 a standout release. The mixtape was so popular that it caused the DatPiff website to crash upon its release, with over 1.5 million downloads in just six hours and 2.5 million within 24 hours. The lead single “Amen” became a hit and “Burn” was released as the second single, both paving the way for Meek Mill’s debut album Dreams and Nightmares.

2. Sorry 4 The Wait by Lil Wayne

Released: July 13, 2011

Downloads: 3,258,419

Released in the middle of 2011 as a way to apologise to fans for delaying the release of Tha Carter IV, Lil Wayne’s Sorry 4 the Wait was a hit among fans and critics alike. Featuring 12 tracks with feature appearances from Lil B and Gudda Gudda, the mixtape was the perfect appetiser to Weezy’s highly anticipated ninth studio album.
