rolling scambaby shotta flows 2020

the only thing I really heard of Pop was the new album, aside from a couple things on YouTube prior, does he have a definitive mixtape?

his first mixtape is entirely produced by 808 melo and it has his two most famous songs, i'd check that out. only 9 tracks.

sheff g & sleepy hallow "molly" is one of the best rap singles of the year

its a very not-drill song (at least in the ny drill sense...) but yah thats great

this beat's crazy

Love this song

Duke deuce - bad news

http://youtu.be/tnEHBjghhXg

apparently valee dropped an ep earlier this month. i've missed him.

dee watkins' chosen one tape is a couple months old by now, but im a fan. he's got that north florida bite in his voice, and a touch of the youngboy/yungeen ace melodic sensibility. good stuff

I haven't been keeping up with rap the way I should this year but I'm enjoying the new Sada Baby.

Haven't properly kept up either, but I like the new MIKE, Weight of the World.

So-called jazz rap is almost never jazzy enough for my ears in that it tends to minimize the improv part of the equation but what I've heard so far of this Boldy James / Sterling Toles collab gives the lie to that assumption. Not worth more than a 7.7 according to p4k tho.

love the baby smoove album. also love this new song, which isn't on the album but has an uneasy, syrup-fried charm

remake of 'freaky gurl' by mulatto (unfortunate name), featuring gucci's best verse in a long time

brian brown from nashville giving me some soulful isaiah rashad vibes

there's also a nashville rap-n-b guy named johnny pe, who, to keep the TDE thing going, reminds me a bit of sir

jetsonmade probably has the best 808 sound in the rap game right now. collaboration with rod wave is surprising, but works very well.

the latest tiktok rap hit

Not sure I'm ready for this tbh.

then you better get in your time machine and take away the cowboy hat from baby lil nas x

yeah that genie is long out of the bottle

and to that end, i like Crisis a lot
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBdSP9XZlcE

crisis is cool, i think i prefer 'break shit' (not a limp bizkit cover)

Veeze • Law N Order

thank you breast • crawl

Oh shit, that sample is what i didn't believe it could be!

i feel like bandgang lonnie bands always gets under-discussed when it comes to michigan rappers, maybe cause he isn't new and shiny. but it's not like he's gotten any worse.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQT0ENHzvQ0

got money with my blood brother, i feel like slim jxmmi

i like the idea of the law & order sample more than the execution, it's a little awkward with the drums

boldy's versace tape is probably just my third fav album of his of the year, but i can't stop thinking about this abbey lincoln/stevie flip on "monte cristo"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PUYH3_24vI

yeah he's having a great year

more bandgang lonnie goodness

the new mozzy album 'occupational hazard' is an extension of the vibe of the 'beyond bulletproof' project he released earlier this year, sensitive street guy stuff. there's no song on here as good as "pricetag" or "unethical and deceitful," but it's a mozzy album. you know what you're getting from him at this point. i will say, he sounds excellent over live instrumentation on "livin what i know," the closing track

been digging brokeasf lately, sounds like no auto durk with plies' accent

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8jgWi3zItM

"how" is a great song

tons of good stuff out of florida this year... t9ine & hotboii new song is good

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2pZWaflAZM

ooh yeah that is good. also, speaking of hotboii and plies, they have a song together (and it's great):

siete gang yabbie - "gift of gab"

drakeo the ruler is out of jail, amazing news. his prison tape was incredible, and it’s gonna feel even better to hear his voice without a staticky prison phone

Feeling the new David Brooks

RIP King Von, truly devastating news.

no desire to hear a song titled "quarantine thick"

you're not missing much, it's mediocre.
