Yeah, not much to say except its aight. Couple good songs and def a comeback from Insaneo.

Favs: Deep Diving / Submarine / Opiate

Ok then, random drop from Joey and it’s very fire. Rapsody cooked that hook and Ab-Soul went OFF. This was what I was looking for. Pretty damn hype for the album.

He's filling the void in all our hearts. Jokes aside, fantastic sophomore release from Khamari, and cannot wait for more

Favs: He Said, She Said / Lord Forgive Me / It's a Mad World

make it stop, make it stop, make it stop, make it stop.

Discovered this dude shortly before this album dropped, and damnnnn what a hidden gem. Directors were on some crack and it shows. A lot of the tracks have that cinematic feel to them primarily because the live instrumentation. Only skip for me would be 'Crooked Stick,' just not a fan. Overall, severely underrated artist, would recommend.

Favs: Run, Run, Run Pt. 2 / Listen Gentle / Could've Been Different

Disappointing. Really would've preferred that Travis solo project over whatever this is

Favorite: DA WIZARD and its not even close

I have listened to this project so many times since its release and can confidently say, this is Saba's best work. There is so much to love here with a wide arrangement of diverse and unique sounds.

Favorites: a FEW songs / Westside Bound Pt. 4 / Crash

Nice little project here. It's definitely fallen off a bit since release for me but that's okay. My only complaint is, why is 'Sometimes' seven freaking minutes?

Favs: San Junipero / Norbit / Everyday Ppl

It was alright for the most part. A couple of songs id come back to

Favs: Bodies / Never Let Go / Prada Myself

Every single listen it just gets better. I have no words man, JID is one of them, and I think this album solidified that. Track list is pretty stacked but there are also some noticeable lows. When it comes to AOTY talks I gotta place it just slightly behind LGSEO, but both are elite in their own way. What a year

Edit 9/25/25: Yeah its taking that top spot. Incredible album

Favs: Glory / Of Blue / Gz / Community / For Keeps

Timeless.

Nice underrated 50 minute project from 2024. Good chunk of replay value in the tracklist

Favs: Back on the Road / Nothings Promised / Shai Afeni

Absolutely loved this track when it came out all the way back in February, and those feelings are still holding skrong. Cole is RAPPING on this beat

Mr. Gibbs and Big Al are back with the 2nd entry into the alfredo series and once again show off their unmatched chemistry. This entire project is pretty damn enjoyable and id say probably just 1 skip for me

Personal Favs: Ennsalda / Gold Feet / Gas Station Sushi

Overall pretty enjoyable 30 minute little dance album from the freaky man himself.

Personal Favs: Ring Ring Ring / Ill Take Care Of You / Sugar On My Tongue

This little EP preluxe to the album got to much hate imo. The fact that all these tracks are just simply throwaways that JID wanted to give his fans really tells a lot. I really enjoyed this and it hyped me up even more for the album. Behold and Lisa is literally peak muisic. Animals gets too much hate, knew better is just alright, and BEAU needs to come to streaming lol.

Favorite Tracks: Behold, Lisa, & BEAU
Best: Behold

Genuinely an unfathomable comeback, and easily one of the best albums this year. Zero skips and 40 minutes of peak production and rapping.

(Birds Don't Sing earns the very first 100 of the year from me. Simply beautiful)

Favorites: The Birds Don't Sing / So Far Ahead / Chains & Whips
Best: The Birds Don't Sing

A flawless 10/10 album with absolutely no skips. The Forever Story stands as one of, if not the greatest rap project of the decade. JID sounds unbelievably hungry on this project, delivering crazy elite flows, sharp lyricism, and masterful storytelling. Every track pulls you in, making you feel like you're living in the moment.

simply perfection

I'll call it what it is. 30 minutes of pure nirvana.
