DYING at Britney's opening presents on Christmas morning gif set being your explanations
Kinda surprised Santi is so high. I see SVIIB being mentioned a lot... I need to give it a listen. KKB, Kanye, Ari, Maxwell, Abel, Chance, Blood Orange, & NAO released lovely albums last year. M83's was **** but... you do you!
There's a love between us still/ but something's changed and I don't know why
The first time I listened to it I thought it was kind of boring and didn't have that much to offer, but luckily I decided to give it another chance a few months after and the greatness of this album slowly revealed itself to me! Shura melodies aren't that big or immediate, but they found a way in my head after a while. The softness and understated nature of all the songs here really let you focus on the songwriting, where Shura especially shines. Shura has called this album "pop music for introverts" and that really is the most apt description for it. Madonna's influence can be heard here through the 80's tinged production and Shura's voice sometimes has a simllar tone to her, but the comparisons end there, with Madonna’s extroverted pop music being on the opposite spectrum of this. Even the most upbeat song here, the title track, is about the time Shura ended up at the hospital after a panic attack. I’m so glad I ended up listening to Shura's mom.
This album.. I really wasn't sure what to make of it the first time I heard it, but the more I listen the more it entrances me with it's off kilter.. everything! Danny's voice, the production, the lyrics are all going ramped up to 110 at almost every moment here, and although it might be a bit overwhelming it is certainly never boring. Danny Brown is a bit of a mad genius, and I like it.
This album dominated my summer, and it really was just the perfect fit for that season with it's West Coast G-funk sound and easygoing vibe. Kamaiyah is easily my favorite new female rapper and the only one I can think of with this sound right now.
My introduction to grime! Very British and the most fun I've had listening to a hip hop album this year. Most of the tracks here talk about how he's killing the competition/#haters, but at times he's gets personal and even a bit sentimental like on "Text me back" and tackles problems like getting stripped search by the police on "Crime Riddim". The combination of his killer bars, catchy hooks, and sharp production (Skepta impressively produces most of the tracks here) culminates on the album's peak "Shutdown", easily one of the best songs of the decade. I could listen to these bangers all day! Trust me daddi (sorry), this is a good one.
Do you like Leikeli47's solo stuff?
Dangerous Woman 
Your top 2 for both 
Famous 
A-YO is great but I prefer the live version.
