"Stove God Cooks"
has album on the year so far, Reasonable Drought. He’s floating on FIAAG2 too. Great look for him. Hope more people check out Reasonable Drought after possibly discovering him on new WSG album.

I’m checking that out ASAP. He’s dope! I got the album he did with G Rap but I imagine this one will have better production overall. El Camino is nice too and they mesh well so I’m looking forward to that.
Speaking of 38...
Did Che Noir’s album come out yet?
