Really love some of the production choices, and the rapper has an enjoyable flow on this to me. (I don't know if he's just rapping over beats he got from around the web, but the mix is quality enough that it doesn't sound like it.)

also a few thoughts:
Based these mostly off of my Spotify checked playlist from the past five months
I listened to Bjork in a car in January on the way back from funeral and it didn't really hit. Figured if it didn't work in that context, it wasn't for me (I haven't listened to her too too much, but I have listened to and dug some of her old stuff, specifically Post)
Gotta give Sufjan and Death Grips an honest listen
Those Dawn Richards and Flako albums were seriously overlooked.
I really really gave Hiatus a try, and while I respect the musicianship and the scope of what they're doing, the sound isn't really for me
I should listen to Lupe more
Bush > Tuxedo for those keeping track. I felt like that Tuxedo album ended up being kind of underrated after it may have felt initially underwhelming from the (justified) hype. It's a fun listen
Should I listen to Oddisee
That ASAP album was hot garbage although I am sheepishly bumping LSD
Just listened to the Donnie Trumpet album for the first time today. Will keep listening but that Towkio may be better (And I loved Acid Rap)
Rae Sremmurd, Fan of a Fan and Big Sean were really enjoyable for what they were. This is the part where I go guiltily listen to Starlito and Kevin Gates and Boosie (couldn't get into the first, a little sick of the second and haven't listened to the third)
I like Thug but I didn't really dig Barter 6. Still looking forward to Metro Thuggin from what I've heard (Free Gucci, Warrior)
Top 10: Kendrick Lamar - TPAB Kamasi Washington - The Epic Milo - So The Flies Don't Come FKA Twigs - M3LL155X Bjork - Vulnicura ( + Vulnicura Live) Moka Only - Magickal Weirdness Cavanaugh - Time & Materials GoldLink - And After That, We Didn't Talk Open Mike Eagle - A Special Episode Of Aaron Diehl - Space Time Continuum
Honorable Mentions: Lupe Fiasco - Pharaoh Height 2/30 Sufjan Stevens - Carrie & Lowell Versis - Copæsthetic Joey Alexander - My Favorite Things Snarky Puppy & Het Metropole Orkest - Sylva
This was really a great year in music, easily my favorite of the decade so far, with 2012 being a close second.

Always find some good albums in here.
Been going through older catalogs this year and haven't listened to much new music. Here's the new music that has been in my rotation though:
Kamasi Washington - The Epic Kendrick - TPAB Panda Bear - Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper Tut - Preacher's Son Pond - Man It Feels Like Space Again Earl Sweatshirt - IDLSIDGO Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment - Surf
A lot of those are dense albums that get better with repeated listenings. The Tut mixtape was heavily slept on, check that one out.

All of these were excellent releases. Like, I've been constantly going back to these joints since they dropped. And I'm keeping my list short cause I don't want to just list everything I bought (which was a lot this year).

Things closest to getting bumped (8-10): Joey Badass - Before Da Money Tame Impala - Currents Jaga Jazzist - Starfire
edit: forgot about Joey Badass debut which I like more than Vince so Vince gets bumped out top 10.

It's really turning into a photo finish here in the last few weeks of the year.

Shit goes hard. This year beats last year's arse by a country mile. And the year's not out yet. Here's to hoping somebody does a surprise release (Burial, Maxwell, James Blake — I'm talking to ya'll).
