That track is begging for Pop Smoke tho.

I’m seeing that a lot, I can’t hear it. Beat reminds me more of Big Drip than any of Pop’s stuff. It would’ve been great if he was on it and flowed like he did on Flexin, my biggest issue is the pausing Fivio/Sosa do in their flows. I just can’t believe Drake is making elite drill. Even threw in “Loved her way back when, drunk so I type Je taime but don’t hit send” so we know it’s still Drake. It’s just wild to be listening to this **** for a year and then Drake is like oh yeah I’ll try it and it’s dope. There’s an AI going around that can rap random **** with Jay-ax’s voice, and that’s cool, but Drake is ****ing Kirby. I’ve cut off Fivio and Sosa so it’s just Drake and I’m pretty sure it’ll pass Life is Good for my most played song by the end of the week.

Reasonable Drought though...this might be my AOTY so far. I didn’t think anything would dethrone the Griselda guys going back to back to back and ending your album with a tap dancing solo, but Rolls Royce Break Lights, John $tarks, Cocaine Cologne. Crosses is probably SOTY.

I finally listened to Thundercat’s album. I really **** with the instrumentals, but the vocals are hit and miss for me. I love the Ty Dolla song, as surprising as it is to see the Based God on a song in 2020.

Thundercat's vocals have always been hit and miss with me. When I'm in that goofy/fun mood they work, but if I'm not then they can be a little annoying. With that said the only reason I'm really listening to him is for his instrumentation and if Michael McDonald is on a track.

New Durk tape is good. One of the few I actually enjoy listening to these days.

If you don't mind me asking, what about Durk puts him on that shortlist and who else is on it? I'm just always curious what draws people to certain artists.

Still listening to Cooks, seeing him and Roc are affiliated with Busta Rhymes from back in the day. Growing up I remember hearing about Flip Mode and all that but never knew who was actually in it other than him so its kinda funny that all these years later it's hitting with me. Also, that, plus the Badu vs Jill Scott, made me realize I've never heard a full Busta Rhymes album or a full Jill Scott album. Too much music.

Pretty decent week of releases. JoJo and Little Simz each put out their own little EP's, both are pretty good. I really like "one life, might live" off of the Simz tape. Not super into the Lil Tjay tape but Zoo York is dope, I just love the distorted bass they use on drill songs. I really like Kehlani's album too, Serial Lover, Hate the Club (with VA's own Masego on the sax), Grieving, Change Your Life, her voice is just great.

Things that surprised me:





This guy has 2 songs out from what I can see, seems to be someone already in the industry by the looks of his first 2 features, but this is dope. I can go without the Rascal Flatts cover or whatever.





Had never heard of this guy, apparently he's on the same label as the Suicide Boys. Pretty good album, imagine a Mexican kid grew up idolizing the 90's West Coast music the way Joey did for East Coast stuff. Also the whole thing is produced by a dude from VA which was interesting.


Ka on deck. “Keeper of the faith, in the streets used to keep it on the waist, Had enough grief, now wish to keep it in the safe.”

My guy's album is pretty dope.

“Cross ****** like Bubba Chuck, I never gave a ****, hook shot a ho like Kareem, but I’ll never leave the bucks”

Never disappoints. Didn’t like the Tyler song but everything else is dope.
