LOVE the Poppy, Stove God & Count Bass D albums. Definitely on another level than the other albums on the list.

Pleasantly surprised with Wayne's album. Big fan but the last decade was a rough one for him. This is probably his best full length rap effort since Carter 3 or No Ceilings and miles ahead of Carter 4 and 5.

Sada Baby, Kamiyah, Uzi & Pop Smoke for the car and the gym. Corona shut that down so it will be interesting to see what music resonates with people during this time. The utility for stuff like this is definitely hindered by not being able to go outside.

Soccer Mommy made an artistic leap between this and her last album and now she *really* sounds like mid-90's female-fronted alt. rock. If that sounds good to you, check her out.

Smoke DZA, like Curren$y, is a meat-and-potatoes emcee that is pretty prolific with the releases but also rather consistent. This album isn't quite as special as the DZA and Pete Rock album from a few years back but there's a good variety of stuff on here and dare I say some stuff that wouldn't sound out of place on contemporary rap radio despite DZA never really chasing any trends on here.
