This is actually a difficult question. These are some of the better-produced albums from this decade imo:

A$AP Rocky - LiveLoveA$AP
100s - Ice Cold Perm (Producer credit: Joe Wax)
Tree - Sunday School (Producer credit: Tree)
RetcHy P - Polo Sporting Goods (Poducer credit: Thelonious Martin)
Future - Dirty Sprite 2 (Producer credit: Metro Boomin)

I think "best produced" relates more to whether the production as a whole comes together and fleshes out a singular vision. There's a lot of albums with good beats but not many that create a memory that you only associate with that specific album. That being said, I'll take a leap and guess that the vast majority of the albums mentioned in this thread have one primary producer. Almost all of the albums that come to mind for me from other decades were produced either entirely or almost entirely by one producer. For example:

Camp Lo - Uptown Saturday Night (Producer credit: Ski Beatz)
The Jacka - The Jack Artist (Producer credit: Rob Lo)
Ray Luv - Forever Hustlin' (Producer credit: Khayree)

and etc.
