Whoops I was including September.

The India Shawn is dope but it's kind of still too fresh for me to feel confident that it will hold, I have no complaints about it though. Not the best quarter for AOTY contenders but definitely some albums worth checking out.

Favorites:
India Shawn - BEFORE WE GO
Noveliss & Dixon Hill - Book of Changes
Khalid - Scenic Drive (The Tape)
Lute - Gold Mouf

KAYTRANADA - INTIMIDATED (EP)
Only 3 songs so more of a single

Honorable Mentions:
Nas - MAGIC
Guilty Simpson & Gensu Dean - EGO
Your Old Droog - Space Bar
Boldy James & The Alchemist - SUPER TECMO BO
​serpentwithfeet - DEACON'S GROVE (EP)
Napoleon da Legend & Amerigo Gazaway - The World Changed


The Nas is definitely growing on me, it still feels a bit too much like a mixtape to me to really put it up there but it is right on the edge. All the rest I would recommend checking out.
