My favorite album is shawns unreleased r&b album

These albums have been on repeat! -billy woods Maps -Icecoldbishop Generational curse -Mckinley Dixon Beloved, Paradise Jazz -Boldy James Prisoner of Circumstances -Kara Jack Why does the earth give us people to love -Blk Odyssy Diamonds and Freaks -Scaring the hoes! -Jessie ware That feels good -Maxo Even God Has a Sense of Humor

Jordan Ward dropped one of the catchiest and most fun albums for me this with Forward. Also 6 by Kenny Mason is fire as well

Yachty’s album still touches my soul. The Pink Floyd and Tame Impala influence is felt, and it’s overall just a calm album that departs from what he’s known from but still fits his vibe. The Black Seminole still gets me every time I hear it.

Scaring the Hoes has been on repeat since the album dropped for me. Peggy and Danny were in their bag on this one. Would love to see more from them if they're releasing anything else this year.

My favorite records of the year have to include Never Enough, Daniel Ceaser Red Moon In Venus, Kali uchis Scaring The Hoes, Peggy x Danny Let's start here, lil Yachty Forward, Jordan Ward Clear 2:soft life EP, summer walker Split decision, Dave and Central cee Kaytramine, aminè and Kaytranda Texas boy, Mike dimes Jackman, Jack Harlow Love sick, don toliver The great escape, larry june

Bro, that Daniel Caesar album is amazing and I hate that he still isn't forgiven by the general public. To neglect your ears from listening to that album is a sin. Perfect album to start up his redemption arc, he's on a really strong album run and deserves the credit no matter how much people hate him.

shawn’s writing and critical expression is so so good and you can tell he’s gotten better over the years

I still listen to Let’s Start Here and was lucky enough to watch him debut it live at Okeechobee. I was so moved by the time the zone started playing. It was overwhelmingly feel good vibe among the crowd

Very short list so far this year but I got: - Larry June & The Alchemist - The Great Escape - Daniel Caesar - Never Enough - Belly - Mumble Rap 2 - Kaytranada & Amine - Kaytramine - Dave & Central Cee - Split Decision EP - Domo Genesis & The Alchemist - No Idols (older tape I know but officially dropped to streaming this yr so included it)

Just seen Sampha and James Blake are both dropping soon too, this year's going to be interesting

It's been a slow year for the mainstream, but the albums that have come out just outside the mainstream has been very well made.

One of my favorite artists I discovered this year was Young Fathers, they dropped an amazing alternative hip hop album. It’s uplifting, danceable, fuzzy, just super interesting and rich sonically with lyrics that keep you engaged. Definitely recommend

Maps by billy woods and Kenny Segal is a dual masterclass man…I haven’t enjoyed unpacking an album this much in a WHILE

1. Caroline Polachek - Desire, I Want To Turn Into You 2. The Lemon Twigs - Everything Harmony 3. Lana del Rey - Did you know there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd 4. Jessie Ware - That! Feels Good! 5. boygenius - the record 6. Yves Tumor - Praise A Lord Who Chews But Which Does Not Consume; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds) 7. JPEGMAFIA & Danny Brown - SCARING THE HOES 8. Paramore - This Is Why 9. Kali Uchis - Red Moon In Venus 10. Squid - O Monolith 11. Foo Fighters - But Here We Are 12. Amaarae - Fountain Baby 13. Parannoul - After the Magic 14. 100 gecs - 10,000 gecs 15. Kara Jackson - Why Does the Earth Give Us People to Love? 16. McKinley Dixon - Beloved! Paradise! Jazz!? 17. Kelela - Raven 18. ICECOLDBISHOP - GENERATIONAL CURSE 19. King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation

Here goes my list for once : - F65 by IDK (once again a beautiful mix of rap and singing with a heavy jazz Influence that brings a sense of freshness) - Daniel Caesar with Never Enough (what can I say the man’s voice just transports you into his world) - The same can be said about Love Part 2 by Colde (the Korean RnB singer does a lot of beautiful things with his angelic voice in a mix of modern sounds) - The estate sales by TYLER you know who it is (I never loved a repackaged/deluxe version this much with all the additions being pure bangers overall. Tyler is really doing whatever he wants and succeeding with it) -10000 gecs by 100 gecs (just go listen to this crack cocaine it’s just good to be confused sometimes folks) - Speaking of crack let’s talk about Cracker Island by GORILLAZ (it proves once again that the band can still produces some of the coolest sounding tracks even after 20 something years) - Last but not least we have La course by French rapper NeS (just some pure boombap classic sounds with that touch of modernity and the fangs of a young artist trying to make it with a lot of hunger and talent) Here you go folks. Thanks for reading of you did and god bless you !

Albums 1. Red Moon in Venus 2. 3MEN KRBN by Eladio Carrion 3. Fountain Baby by Amaarae 4. Diamonds and Freaks by BLK ODYSSY Songs 1. Attention by Doja Cat 2. So DISRESPECTFUL by Lola Brooke 3. History by King Sis 4. Waste My Time by Essosa 5. Party Girls by Victoria Monet 6. MIENTRAS ME CURO EL CORAZÓN by Karol G 7. Little Things by Jorja Smith I most definitely have some high hopes for Doja, Victoria and especially Jorja. She's always dabbles in house music and I can only imagine her next body work to reflect that plus a ballad or two. I just discovered King Sis and she's been dropping bops back to back. And miss Lola gotta stop playing and drop an album 🤧

Larry June & The Alchemist The Great Escape been staying on rotation since it came out 🔥🔥🔥 Everytime I listen to it there's a new song I like from there. Definitely one of the best albums this year so far.

Raven by Kelela has been on repeat for me this year. Also Kaytraminé’s album is a solid debut.

Beloved! Paradise! Jazz? by mckinly dixon has honestly shocked me how much I liked it, and how much it did with so little time. by far my favorite this year!

It's been really interesting seeing the mixed opinions on Let's Start Here. I'm with you on that one, I think it absolutely rules, and it has some of the best production I've heard all year!

Some of my favorite albums that have dropped this year: Snow Strippers - April Mixtape 3 Caroline Polachek - Desire, I Want To Turn Into You Kelela - Raven Jessie Ware - That Feels Good Magdalena Bay - mini mix vol. 3 Skrillex - Quest For Fire

Also respect for the collection vol 2 selection, incredibly underrated artist

My favorite albums of this year so far are genuinely Afterlyfe by Yeat and O Monolith by Squid. There's been some interesting albums but nothing that really blew me away (and I still haven't listened to that Billy Woods one tbf)

Golden Child, Chapter 3 by Autumn was absolutely phenomenal

i got so excited when u mentioned red moon in venus, i loved rmiv and i’m so ready for her next album later this year 🤭

Since I Have a Lover by 6lack and Never Enough by Daniel Caesar. The timing of these two project could not have been better for where I’m at in life. These two were greatly missed and it’s so nice to see where they’re at in their careers/lives after being a fan and listening for so many years. Another honorable mention would be Lil Yachty with Let’s Start Here. Such a shift in genre for him but it totally works.

my favorite album by far has been this new Paramore album, This Is Why. Great vocal performances, songwriting, and instrumental work. Super innovative and fresh guitar and drum performances, and stellar production.

My favorite albums this year are: Since I have a Lover - 6lack Let's Start Here - Lil Yachty Love Sick - Don Toliver Endless Summer Vacation - Miley Cyrus Never Enough - Daniel Ceaser Red Moon in Venus - Kali Uchis SpiderVerse - Metro Boomin Kaytramine - Aminé, Kaytranada Ends & Begins - Labyrinth The Rat Road - SBTRKT

Good to see let’s start here still receiving the credit it deserves. Such a fun and beautiful experience, and it jump started my year in 2023

These been heavy in the rotation: Forward, Jordan Ward More Better, Cisco Swank The Kaytraminé record Diamonds & Freaks, BLK ODYSSY By the Way (EP), Theo Croker All For You (EP), Amaria also on the look out for the new Puma Blue, loved his '21 record In Praise of Shadows

Glockoma 2 From Key Glock has easily still been in my rotation and with these one liners and just aggressive bars and some funny one liners with a great set of beats overall it’s just a great album

projects from 23 i’d highly recommend: kari faux - real b*tches don’t die blk odyssey - diamonds & freaks aja monet - when the poems do what they do king krule - space heavy ryan beatty - calico

Forward by Jordan Ward and Never Enough from Daniel Caesar are my two favorites of the year

Top albums for me this year Let’s Start Here - Lil Yachty, Metros Spiderverse Album, Cracker Island - The Gorillaz Pink tape definitely gonna be on here once that comes out

ep wise.. ambré’s “who’s loving you” let’s get into that!! but album wise.. kali uchis “red moon in venus” absolutely gave what it was supposed to!! my favorite is “blue” and “endlessly”!! 😩

ends and begins by labrinth is my favorite album right now, it was an amazing record. Obviously still waiting on utopias release and trippie coz as much as I love ALLTY4 and tried convincing myself it cant be beaten, I think 5 might outshine 4.

Ok so honestly my two albums this year repeat is 1. Let’s start here- lil yatchy this was just so magical my opnion 2. Collage park- logic my OPINION I liked it a lot the story of it(didn’t like the skits tho) 3. Jackman- jack Harlow say what u say I feel like jack did pretty good coming from a very comercial album to a sone what rap album 4. Love sick- don toliver I really liked the vibe this album gave it was nice

loving all of dominic fikes recent singles, can’t wait for sunburn next week

Shawn just put me on with that Susanne sundfor record. Shit is beautiful good looks. Personal list: Amaree-Fountain Baby Jordan Ward- Forward Young Nudy- Gumbo After the Magic- Parannoul Why does the earth give us people to love- Kara Jackson Raven- Kelela Girl in the Half Pearl- Liv.e Praise a Lord who Chews- Yves Tumor Live at Bush Hall- BCNR Scaring the Hoes- Peggy and Danny Heavy Heavy- Young Fathers

Low swimmer “Red-Eye Effect” is one of the best folktronic albums this year. Absolutely lovely and intimate. Go-Getter is probably one of the catchiest songs in the genre. Definitely worth the listen

That Yves Tumor is something special, easy on the ear, all tracks are incredible

Favorite album for me so far gotta be Autumn - Golden Child, Chapter 3 (GC3) transitions on point and just vibes the whole way even though it’s 24 songs.

Yachty’s album still on repeat…especially at night when I’m driving home.

The rat road def my favorite album of the year so far. Shawn I def recommend that album if you haven’t heard it

Let's Start Here. is such an incredible album with so much character from Yachty, Definetly my album of the year so far.

The slowthai album that came out this year is so damn good gotta be my AOTY so far

So happy to see Blómi. My favourite album alongside Honey by Samia

not even close to past six months but stevie wonder’s For Once My Life is godly

A New Tomorrow by Zulu is probably my favorite record of the year so far. Followed by Scaring The Hoes, and Lankum's new album "False Lankum.

GOTTA LISTEN TO THAT LITTLE SIMZ THAT SHIT FYE 🔥

Great list, navy blue is top 5 these last couple years.

current 10 faves in no order: Portrait of a Dog - Jonah Yano Daniel Caesar - NEVER ENOUGH Adi Oasis- Lotus Glow Janelle Monaé - The Age of Pleasure Kali Uchis- Red Moon in Venus Kara Jackson- Why Does the Earth Give Us People to Love? Mac Ayers- Comfortable Enough Tyler, the Creator- The estate sale Kaytraminé- Kaytraminé Paramore- This is Why bonus: Yves Tumor - Praise A Lord Who Chews but Which Does Not Consume

idk if this is yr vibe but I really liked The Lemon Twigs - Harmony everything. It's a soft rock album with a lot of 70s influence. The song writing is also very strong, and the record/production sounds delicious

Music for me has become very routine. I know certain rollouts and certain reasons why behind artists put out what they do. I miss the days of 2012-2107 where we had no idea of certain things behind music and it was more genuine. Solid year but I’d say music releases have definitely took a huge turn since Covid.

Shawn putting trayle at last is the best thing he could’ve ever did lol Album was hard

I don't know what to say but I like the video 😄

These have been on repeat for me : mickey diamond - oroku saki rome streetz - wasnt built in a day jpegmafia and danny brown - scaring the hoes navy blue - ways of knowing young thug - business is business

*My favorites so far this year:* Liberation 2 - Madlib, Talib Kweli Raven - Kelela Girl In The Half Pearl - Liv.e AQUATIC DRILL:, Vol 1 - Kyeoshin This Is Why - Paramore Indiana Jones - Boldy James, RichGains Guy - Jayda G

Shawn's take on Yatchy's Let's Start Here is something we don't get hear a lot of.....this album is obviously very experimental and gives birth to a new Lil yatchy which I love completely and as shawn said I can't wait to hear what else this sound is going to bring

Yves Tumor (Hot Between Worlds) is my AOTY as of now but we still got some heavy hitters yet to release

Mike Dimes dropped one of the best records of the year with Texas Boy. You should give it a listen.

Bold of you to put Come home the Kids miss you 10 times since it didn’t come out in 2023, but I respect it!!!

Let's start here is my favorite album of the year just hits man

Baby rose - through and through has been on repeat for me

yeeees! I listen to Let’s Start Here all the time still

Some of my favs Lonnie Holly - Oh Me Oh My Liturgy - 93696 Paramore - This Is Why McKinley Dixon - Beloved! Paradise Jazz! Anticipating Westside Gunn - Pray For Paris 2, Travis Scott - Utopia, Hozier - Unreal Unearth

Upon checking later I realised this thing came out sometime in 2022 but for me, personally its been very refreshing recently discovering Earthgang's album Ghetto Gods.

My fav albums so far this year that you didn’t mention: •Maps-Billy Woods •Dogsbody-Model/Actriz •Ugly-Slowthai •Desire, I Want To Turn Into You-Caroline Polachek •No Highs-Tim Hecker •This is Why-Paramore •Glorious Game-Black Thought •Everything Harmony-The Lemon Twigs •12-Ryuichi Sakamoto •Heavy Heavy-Young Fathers •In Times New Roman…-Queens of the Stone Age •Goyard Comin': Exordium-Ghais Guevara

Definitely need to listen to that feels good! by Jessie Ware. The track Hello Love has legitimately become one of my favorite songs ever

Current favorite albums of the year: Feuerwalze by Minenwerfer Dab City by Bongzilla Postpartum Extasy by Torsofuck Encircle the Spectral Dimension by Vargrav Favorite singles so far are: Blood Bind by Cannibal Corpse Adipocere Retribution by Putridity

That hoodie is fire 🔥

Redveil's "Playing w/ fire" was a bop all the way through
