Imma fight u because a handful of those we’ve texted about extensively and u still haven’t listened (don’t point out all the shit I haven’t listened to you’ve recommended me, thank u)
Hah some things I have synced to catch up to. Others I don't remember you mentioning. Anything on there you think is particularly in my wheelhouse? I may have caught him on the wrong day, in the wrong mood, at the wrong distance from the stage, but he sounded like someone murdering a humpback whale and I was not about it. Still going to give the album a shot.
Easy ones would be Smino, Daniel Caesar and KAMAU to start. I honestly don’t think you’ll like Moses but it’s worth a shot bc it’s incredible
I played Moses for the first time earlier, very interesting record. Everybody listen to that Smino, I feel like he's very underlooked right now but so hugely talented.
