Curious on thoughts about Conways and Benny's latest? I think both are solid, but neither are better than their last albums. I do have to give them more rotations though to really come to a conclusion. I'm just hoping they're not getting too caught up in quantity over quality.

I like Benny’s. It’s not as good as the first “Plugs I Met”, but it’s good. I like that he was kind of doing the next progression of that lifestyle lyrically, and I like the production and see why he went that route as it fits the album.
I haven’t listened to Conway’s beyond the single and I think one other song yet. Part of that is I’m still listening to From a King to a God because it’s such a complete album, and I’m really not ready to move on yet. The other part is from what I heard, I’m not sure these beats are going to be my thing.

My best albums of the year so far:
Topaz Jones - Don’t Go Tellin Your Mama
- I’d never heard of him. I love this album though. Mixes a lot of different musical styles. My favorite song that I couldn’t stop playing:
Skyzoo - All the Brilliant Things. Production gets a little repetitive after awhile but he’s rapping on an extremely high level as always. He’s got that Common, Posdnous thing where you’ll catch something years later.
Evidence - Unlearning Vol. 1 - Very cohesive album. An easy listen. Evidence always brings the relatable content.

And since I haven’t checked in, in a few weeks...
Ive been listening to that new Mach-Hommy album. Really good.
Still listening to a lot of the others I mentioned earlier, especially that Evidence!! Evidence has had one of the unsung great careers in hip hop. And since Kanye is being discussed, I recently found out Evidence made the beat for “Last Call” and wanted Kanye to play it for Jay-Z and Kanye told him he’s keeping it for himself lol. Never knew that.

Ha.. I played the Sha’Carri Richardson commercial snippet about 10 times tonight, so I clearly don’t want to hear a word from Desus Nice hatin ass types.

Torn between absolutely loving what I heard streaming the Donda event in Atlanta and waking up this morning realizing Kanye pulled the okie-doke on us again with the album drop fake out.
Although, you could tell from the event that there was zero chance that album was dropping at midnight. … especially when Jay-Z is hopping on a track, literally, 4 hours before the album event.
