    I actually really liked that record, lol. The Denmark Vessey/Gensu Dean one that comes out later this month would make it if the list extended to then.

    Yeah but it wouldn't make your list would it? Nor Azizi Gibson, or fish n grits by j zone, or oddisee's records. Expecting a lot of trap tbh. Which is ok!

    I had J-Zone at #7 on the first quarter list I published in mid-April. I cover Oddisee extensively. Azizi Gibson isn't here not because of stylistic concerns but because he just isn't very good. I think you have a very skewed perception of what rap music I like.

    Good to see Collegrove on here. No one really talks about it anymore and it's one of the most fun projects of the year

    Can you also add 1-2 songs from each project? You got me into Open Mike Eagle when you did that on some other list you made

    Lol I almost did a list like this today but got too lazy, glad you picked up my slack.

    Surprised to see a Mistah FAB tape in 2016, I used to listen to him a bunch in high school.
