Imma just put Kendrick as the Artist of 2022. It's almost March. At least 10 have a case. At this point there's no wrong answer

I honestly don't really know of a notable album or artist in January. Skyzoo or Reuben Vincent maybe? It was a pretty dry month. February was too. But imma post the artists and albums of the month within the week

it's dry out here...but that's cool, it's giving me time with the flood of stuff that came out in Q4

@A Pimp Named Slickback there wasn’t much notable music the first couple months of the year.

Lately we got payroll Giovanni, key Glock, tha god fahim, and young Nudy dropped yesterday.

Business is picking up

I don’t know much about that other dude but that’s a great verse and honestly a dope record.

Amazing how this thread has good music all the time and doesn’t get much love.

And yet every time Big Gipp (of all people) opens his mouth we get three threads and the whole coli population runs to their computers and they lock in.
