13360839, 2019 sleepers

what are some albums that you dont see people talking about that they should be?

i only saw one OKP have a Berhana song in his 2019 playlist. zero talk about HAN. i found out about the album (came out in Oct) over the break thanks to VMP. gave it a listen and its become one of my favorites of the year.

It's probably a little long like all BJ albums with a few skippers, but he definitely has a great ear for good production and I can never get enough of his vocal harmonizing/layering. If you are a fan of his any of his previous work, this falls into that same lane, although maybe with slightly more contemporary trappish stylings.
13360929, i enjoyed it

the rest of the album not so much
13360910, Berhana is tough

I gotta check his project out

I really enjoyed Bari's "MSTRGLSS" project. It is NOT heavy with the bars, but Monte Booker's production is fire and Bari's delivery does the trick
13361017, I might need to check again..

I can't even explain this album. It's electronic, it's funk, it's R&B, it's pop, it's hip-hop. One of the coolest projects I've heard this year. A couple of features that MIGHT grab your ear are Clairo and Omar Apollo.
13361582, Yeah this Berhana is nice, thanks
