Music is as important as ever to me in may ways but as for new music? Not so much.
Tempting to say "what a shit year!" but in all honesty I've not had my ear to the ground.
Choons I liked this year:
Standouts
Max B: Mountains (this was probably my favourite thing of the year and it sounds like it was recorded in 2009)
Brent Faiyaz feat. Drake: Wasting Time (+ Snoh Aalegra: In Your Eyes – the mini-Neptunes renaissance)
Wizkid feat. Tems: Essence
Kanye West feat. The Weeknd, Lil Baby: Hurricane (mainly Lil Baby's part)
Good ones (but I needed reminding)
Lil Baby, Lil Durk: 2040
Ross from Friends: Burner (yes, weird isn't it)
Nas feat. Lauryn Hill: Nobody
Jazminne Sullivan feat. Anderson Paak: Price Tags
Masicka: Different Type / 10Tik: Roll Deep / Skeng: Street Cred (Dissensus Dancehall)
Laura Mvula: Safe Passage
Bala Bala Boyz: Vie Des Rois
Tyler the Creator feat. YoungboyNeverBrokeAgain / Ty Dolla: WUSYANAME
C1: Tulse Hill Tour
Anz feat. George Riley: You Could Be / Unravel in the Designated Zone
