J Hus effortlessly did what Drake has been trying to do forever

 

Had this exact same thought, it's like what More Life wanted to be lol

Are you into Wiley at all? kinda surprised I haven't seen Godfather on a single list

 

More Life is good sorry

 

oh it's great, I love it. just feel like he's kinda trying to incorporate a lot of that dancehall/grime sound that is being done elsewhere with little to no recognition

 

I am and I kind of forgot that album came out in 2018 until you mentioned it just now lmao

 

I was just playing. I get why people don't like More Life. It's bloated and shamelessly bites from all corners, but I love so many of the tracks on it. I think J Hus plays the sound better though.

 

It's because it comes natural to J Hus whereas Drake is a hopeless biter. Biters can make good songs but they're still biters, they're never as good as the real thing.

 

haha I’m glad man, the whole record follows suit!

 

since grime is cool in 2017, everybody listen to the original don just fucking smaaaaashing it

 

show me a J Hus song, i dont know him/her/them

 

Grime has always been cool, Americans haven't been paying attention but we Europeans knew what's up

 

you probably know this song without knowing it

 

Welcome steve

 

Skim through the album, I can share my favorite song but it'll tell you little about most of his other songs

 

I listen to UK dance music, you're preaching to the choir mate

 

There have obviously been more good American rap albums this year than non-American rap albums because of the volume of releases and so on but the "freshest" rap albums on my list aren't American this year

 

Stormzy still has the best grime album of 2017

 

between that and Wiley for me, though I'm currently hunting down more

 

Skepta - Shutdown is the best grime song of every year

 

Fuck man I forgot about that album too, this is screwing with the list I already posted. I have to edit my honorable mentions.

 

Real Grime

 

Check the Nadia Rose EP, she's crazy talented

 

Stormzy also had the best album title

 

That Marty record was a very pleasant surprise stylistically.

Willie at least I understand. He's so prolific that he's hard to keep up with. But God's Problem Child was one of his engaged ones.

 

DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED!! Haha
