Wow. You hate to see that.

I've encountered Brockhampton somewhere and was irrationally irritated by their name but have no idea what they sound like.

No idea what I was basing this on but I saw them on Fallon a few weeks ago and holy jeez was I being too kind to them before.

I still can't believe how good this fucking track is. The first time I heard that verse that starts at the 3:40 mark was literally sublime.

Laugh at me but I pretty much slept on Kendrick Lamar until like last year or a little before, I’m just blown away by him and feel like he’s got the weight of popular music on his shoulders and all else is featherweight when I put him on

is this a thing or what

Whoa

I still love this dude so much. Niquer le buzz!!

I am probably totally off but this seems like something that Duff would really vibe too:

Been a little slow to get up on DaBaby, which admittedly was little more than "What, now I gotta keep track of another rap dude with 'Baby' in his name? Get the fuck outta here," and more than a little petulance over a single line in one of his songs ("'The type of baby who fucks the babysitter' is called 'a victim of child abuse', sir"). But this is some weird, charming dude here, and pretty much all day I have the line "I go where I want, good" rattling around my head.

the new boldy james album, "the price of tea in china," is really fucking good

stove god cooks - reasonable drought is killer. entirely produced by roc marciano

All of his videos are hyper-violent and that should probably bother me but for some reason it doesn't. Actually it is kind of fascinating to see violence that isn't just hyper-masculine bullshit represented in a rap video.

everything boldy james has put out this year is outstanding. this is an especially psychedelic, overwhelming rap record. one of the best things i've heard all year

Everything associated with Griselda is good. The quality of various projects goes up and down, but they're the most dynamic rap grouping going today.

Now is also a great time to get into any/all Chris Crack tapes:



Fun & funny flows over soulful samples and autotune singing. Great flows and sense of humor. Perfect to vibe to anytime.

Listened to this in the car this morning as the sun was coming up, this was great

if you haven't heard the armand hammer record from this year, i highly recommend that as well

I don't know anything about any of these artists--this is an unexplored and unspoiled nook of music for me--so I will definitely be doing that.

for all things billy woods and ELUCID (armand hammer) related i would check out

billy woods & kenny segal - hiding places (2019)
armand hammer - shrines (2020)
armand hammer - paraffin (2018)
small bills - don't play it straight (2020)

i'm less familiar with moor mother's output, but her work with irreversible entanglements is stellar
