03. WHAT ALBUM SURPRISED YOU?
Sans Benny, Griselda has been mostly quantity over quality over the last few years. This year, though Conway and Gunn still dropped 3 or 4 projects a piece, they seemed to have better quality control. 327 esp surprised me. Before that there wasn't a single Gunn project I could listen to front and back.


04. WHAT ARTIST WERE YOU LOOKING FOR, BUT DIDN'T SHOW UP?
Where art thou, Kendrick Lamar???


05. WHAT ARTIST DID YOU DISCOVER THIS YEAR (new or old)?
I didn't discover them, but I really dug deeper into Tame Impala this year based on how much I enjoyed The Slow Rush.


06. WHO ARE YOU LOOKING FOR IN 2021?
Kendrick, J. Cole, more Gibbs, as usually hoping this Drake album is the one that brings him back to his 2009-2013 quality but ready to be fooled as usual.


07. WHAT ALBUM DID PEOPLE OVERLOOK?
Spillage Village - Spilligion, Amine - Limbo


08. WHAT NEW GENRE DID YOU EXPLORE THIS YEAR?
Went back and listened to a lot of indie rock from the late 2000s/early 2010s that I wasn't checking for back in my college yearsr/early 20s. Artists like Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys, Beach House...


09. WHAT'S THE 1ST LIVE SHOW YOU WANT TO GO TO ONCE THIS IS ALL OVER?
I'm so far removed from live music right now I can't even think about this without my answer just being a favorite artist/one I'm into right now so gonna pass on this.


10. WHAT RELEASE DISAPPOINTED YOU?
Jay Electronica - A Written Testimony. A decade plus wait FOR THIS!?!?
