86. "4th Quarter Picks" In response to In response to 4 Thu Feb-03-22 06:24 PM by mista k5
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.
