[teekoh]

That Alex G record is so good. I've only listened to it once, but it's going to be near the top of my list, too.

[Deleted]

When it leaked, I listened to it non-stop. I listen to all of those at least once a week right now.

starlito and don trip - "step brothers 3"
playboi carti - "playboi carti"
gunna - "drip season 2"
joe guapo and nard and b - "extravagant trench shit 2"

mozzy - "fake famous"

I don't feel there's been an album so far this year that's made me think "yeah, this is a year-defining album" but LCD probably will be that.

I'm waiting to do my best of list until I hear Vince.

[Deleted]

I've been compiling my mid-year list but as I stated above, I'm waiting to listen to Vince's new album before I finalize that. In the mean time, for those of you eagerly anticipating my mid-year report, here are my top 100 songs. That's right. 100.
