These are the albums I thought were great and would recommend to anyone. There are tiers, I am going to put them in order of how I feel not my exact rating.

These are worth on being on my all time favorites list:
Cleo Sol - Mother
Little Simz - Sometimes I Might Be Introvert
Skyzoo - All the Brilliant Things

I loved these but for whatever reason they don't connect with me as much as the above:
Durand Jones & The Indications - Private Space
India Shawn - BEFORE WE GO
Mara TK - Bad Meditation
Czarface & MF DOOM - Super What?

Great albums but probably had a couple of duds:
Aaron Frazer - Introducing...
Nas - King's Disease II
serpentwithfeet - DEACON
NAO - And Then Life Was Beautiful

Really good but will probably not stick with me long term:
Hiatus Kaiyote - Mood Valiant
Topaz Jones - Don't Go Tellin' Your Momma
Sinead Harnett - Ready Is Always Too Late
Noveliss & Dixon Hill - Book of Changes
Khalid - Scenic Drive (The Tape)
Lute - Gold Mouf
Tyler, the Creator - CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST
Evidence - Unlearning Vol.1
Arlo Parks - Collapsed in Sunbeams
Raheem DeVaughn & Apollo Brown - Lovesick

I considered short albums as full albums and not EPs. The below are EPs that are around 4 songs or less that I really liked.
Various Artists - Liberated / Music For the Movement Vol. 3 (EP)
Lucky Daye - Table for Two (EP)
J. Period - Story To Tell (Chapter One) (EP)
Zo! and Tall Black Guy - Abstractions (EP)
KAYTRANADA - INTIMIDATED (EP)
Miguel - Art Dealer Chic 4 (EP)

Let me know if you want my next 10/20 albums. I went back through 80 albums/EPs from last year to come up with this list. Everything that I rated a 9/10 or above. After going through them I moved 14 under 9/10. Everything I posted above I have as a 9.5/10 or above.

I went through 305 albums/EPs last year lol
