happy holidays

I had my album of the year list pretty set and Kendrick and Father John came thru like:

Lmao what in the world. Today was wild

lmfaoooooo

this is smooth from Lila Iké and Joey.

I think this is my rap top 10 for 2024

10. Boldy James- Penalty Of Leadership
9. MAVI- shadowbox
8. DJ Lucas- Lil Old Town (deleted off Spotify?)
7. ScHoolboy Q- Blue Lips
6. JPEGMAFIA- I LAY MY LIFE DOWN FOR YOU
5. Roc Marciano- Marciology
4. Ka- The Thief Next To Jesus
3. Mach-Hommy- #RICHAXXHATIAN
2. Elucid- REVELATOR
1. Kendrick Lamar- GNX

Honorable mention: Phiik & Lungs- Carrot Season, MIKE- Pinball

dawg, is kendrick lamar my least favorite release out of these?

fire, love the MAVI and Mach-Hommy records

Real af

Welp. After the abundance of the last month or so, we knew holiday season was coming.

This week is looking like a good one to really tap in to some recent releases, or go back and check out/revisit some drops from earlier this year. I know I've got a running list.

good morning

what's on your list? i gotta list i'm building right now

Morning fam!

Tooooo much to list, but I'll probably post about some of 'em in here as I go along. Mostly indie stuff.

ML Buch's Suntub from last year really caught my ear recently, so I'm diving into that Copenhagen scene today. Listening to Astrid Sonne's Great Doubt right now (pretty bored by it lowkey), and Fine's Rocky Top Ballads after that.

Have Been Stellar, Amyl and the Sniffers, Elias Rønnenfelt, Merce Lemon cue'd up.

I'm sure there are some rap records I haven't peeped that I'm interested in playing. All the year-end lists starting to come out will help me too.

sounds like some good stuff lined up. I discovered Suntub this year and thought it was a solid record. I'll have to check out the rest of these.

currently listening to this Brazilian artist I just came across this morning. very good vibes

The YouTube links on here not playing be killing me...I wonder why that happens sometimes.

Niceee I just came across Rogê browsing Pitchfork. Some of that MPB stuff hits right, man. Ana Frango Elétrico probably my favorite right now. Liniker and Bruno Berle also dope.

Aight, digging this Fine album much more than Astrid Sonne's. But it's just making me want to play ML Buch. So I will!

thanks for the recs bruh

you know it OG!

i think if this album wasn't quite as long and meandering as it is, it would've gotten even more attention.
