4 Your Eyez Only by J. Cole

This top seller was nominated for some famous awards but received luke warm reviews. Eyez is a critically under appreciation hip hop record. By being understated, soulful, and thoughtful Cole created an excellent genre stretching listen that bleeds classic era soul. This works very well as a companion piece to The Miseducation of Lauren Hill.

The Colour in Anything by James Blake

Pop music has soared. The layers of texture and the ironing out of the avant garde make this record a pop masterpiece. The Colour in Anything reshapes the surreal and inaccessible into something architecturally sound and spacious. Like Rama-sized spaciousness. Dreamy and rainy and rainy and rainy still. What were we dreaming about? One of the best pop records of 2016. Beautiful beautiful British soul.

Artist by A Boogie wit da Hoodie

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Boogie_wit_da_Hoodie

Quote:

Growing up, Dubose frequently got into legal trouble, mainly for selling cannabis and narcotics, after finding out when he was sixteen, Dubose's parents sent him to Florida as punishment. He graduated high school from the Performance-based Preparatory Academy in Fort Pierce, Florida.

Right there, that’s hilarious. Boogie is from the Bronx but his music is heavily stamped with Future’s southern trap style. He was 20 when this “mixtape” was released.

Overall this album is melancholy and self reflective and not always self aggrandizing. It’s honest. He celebrates getting laid and laments heartbreak. You can feel that these songs were written before he became famous back when he was still a teenager. His world orbits around a giant vagina and his dreams.

His fanbase discovered him on youtube. This was a digital release. At 50 it’s easy to think condescendingly on young teens. But this is good music. Sincere and although not pioneering it’s part of a pioneering movement. Like it or not, this is the sound that hip hop is still riding on two years later.

Not just recommended but I mean it’s up to you. You can either know or not.

Jimmy Eat World Integrity Blues is a ****ing awful record.

Coastlines by Rudy Adrian

Quote:

On his fifteenth album, Coastlines, ambient music virtuoso Rudy Adrian presents ten tracks of slowly transforming melodies, warm lush synthscapes and dreamlike atmospheres, capturing the wonders of the coastal landscapes that echo through the memories of his youth.

Sounds exactly like it should. No complaints.
