age/sex/location – Ari Lennox
Ari is on top of the current female R&B artists with only a few people on her level. While this album is not my favorite Ari stuff (I like more PHO EP and the more upbeat songs), it is some really good R&B and her vocals are fucking insane. If you like modern R&B with Continue reading

Fuck the World – Brent Faiyaz
I thoroughly enjoyed this album. Second listen, knew songs. And not simply because of it’s 30 minute length (which by the way, just give me 30-40 minutes of your best. What is the point of dumping so much shit onto one album. I guess if you don’t want people to listen to it front to Continue reading

Get Lifted – John Legend
You had me John. You fucking had me!! You started this shit off so good. Even the Prelude is fire and Let’s Get Lifted is crazy!!! Used to Love U and Alright are groovy as fuck and I will always love (you) She Don’t Have to Know. The Kanye shit is still good. The Snoop Continue reading

Never Too Much – Luther Vandross
Luther has always been someone I wanted to listen to. And there is certainly some groovy ass shit in here, and some good ass singing. But this is mainly a product of it’s time, meaning it kinda sounds like it was from the 80’s. There is nothing wrong with that, but I treat this the Continue reading

The Score – Fugees
Okay. If you’re reading this, don’t get mad. It’s good. It’s the fugees, they’re great. there are some fucking classic songs on this. BUT I was kind of underwhelmed. My expectations for this were high as fuck. Miseducation is one of the best albums ever, and I love what I’ve heard from Wyclef. But I Continue reading

Hive Mind – The Internet
Hive Mind, The Internet’s latest release (sadly), exceeded expectation for me. I figured that with the more commercial success of the 2015 release, Ego Death, Hive Mind may be something I enjoyed less, but I couldn’t have been more far from correct in my assumption. Hive Mind is one of my favorite albums of this Continue reading

Ego Death – The Internet
The Internet is a band with not only interesting backstories per member but also incredible talent. Steve Lacy, now the bands most famous member, went from underground/indie name to TikTok guy (much to his dismay). Syd went from Odd Future to being the lead singer of a great band, even with solo albums. Matt Martians Continue reading

Stevie Wonder – Innervisions
A true fucking masterpiece. Many will say that Stevie’s best album is Songs in the Key of Life, but Innervisions takes the #1 spot for me, and is up there for my favorite albums of all time, partially due to the bond I shared with this album traveling. The album starts off with the funky, Continue reading

Lioness: Hidden Treasures – Amy Winehouse
Oh Amy. Nothing will ever top Frank or Back to Black (both of which are not in this list as I have listened to them dozens and dozens of times), however the posthumous compilation album still delivers. The classic Nas and Amy reunion is great, especially after Salaam Remi flipping Made You Look into an Continue reading

What’s Going On – Marvin Gaye
Not much more can be said about this classic Marvin Gaye album. I have listened to multiple Marvin Gaye projects in the past but my first listen to What’s Going On showcased his incredible songwriting, his incredible voice, and all in all was a beautifully crafted album. I will leave this masterpiece to speak for Continue reading
