+1 on Trouble Salad. That album is so good.

Seems like that's the forum member album that's gotten the most listens and enjoyment from 2018. Mondo really made some good stuff.

What's Your AOTY 2018
 

It's true. He's a talented individual. Him and I gotta collab at some point but I'm in the middle of working on a new album.

Perhaps soon, Mondo? Our styles could mix well I think.

sure though I dunno what we should do

Do we ever? I'll whip up some samples from my end and send them your way once I have time. Or we can do it reversed. Either way. No rush. This can take months if it has to. I think a collab album would be dope tho.

these days I do

Fair enough. I was mostly joking.I've been taking my music pretty serously lately so it could work.

I would ****ing love to hear a collaboration from you two

Especially if you really respect each other’s space

It could be really dynamic and exciting
