So apparently the new Wu leaked, i'l have impressions here in a bit but my top 10 AOTY list is coming together - Logic's "Under Pressure" is alright but it's hugely derivative of Kendrick/Drake/others and just doesn't stand out for me, will prolly spin that & K.R.I.T.'s Caddillactica again but yeah, neither really took hold on the first go. Meanwhile I've been bumping Isiah Rashad "Clivia Demo" today & it's definitely making said list:

I know this ain't exactly something y'all don't know about but HOLY SHIT. I can't listen to anything but the new Kendrick album. Just instrumentally, the first two tracks had me falling out of my goddamned seat at work when I first heard them I loved good kid maad city but I thought that the production was pretty tame, i.e. much whatever was popular at the time plus some 90's Dre influence. The production of this thing is insane. All the thundercat stuff is bonkers, there's really good jazz all over the place. Even the version of "i" is waaaaaaaaaaay better as a live recording or fake live recording or whatever it is. This album is so well conceived it's insane. I kind of want to just sit and listen with lyrics up because the story-telling is next-level as well. That conversation on Mortal Man? Goddamn.

next week is looking to top off the last month of Kendrick's To Pimp A Butterfly and Bronson's Mr Wonderful, both of which were fucking fantastic. it's been an amazing year so far, and speaking of Bronson, i'm going to his tour down here in May - just wish Run the Jewels would hit Miami, too
