P.O.S. "Never Better"


I'm not the hugest fan of hip-hop on the planet earth. I do enjoy the odd spin of a random album, but very little actually sticks with me. P.O.S.'s "Never Better" is a glorious exception to the rule. It's like he tailored this album specifically for me. It's clear that P.O.S. takes influence from punk, which to me is a wonderful thing. With minimalist production, in-your-face delivery, conscious lyrics, great vocal melodies, and plenty of shoutouts to the punk scene, this album is everything I ever wanted out of hip hop music. So there you have it: album of the year.
