Saturn Devouring his Camera

manifesting a career as a cover art artist for musicians 🧡

Obijuan's "New Blood" dominated my headphones this week, had to loop some tracks on there cus they're that fucking insane. Don't know whether I like it more than Contacting, making a top 5 for rap albums this year feels like a bloodbath battle lol

been doing these on IG lately but had to share my love for the new album Contacting by Sunmundi and Sasco, such a rich mixture of harsh futuristic production with rapid fire conscious raps. Top 5 for me in an already super stacked year, I think im tapped out with peeping new music for a min tbh lol

I prolly posted May on twt but w.e. June had so many online homies in my personal rotation, feels dope to enjoy someone's art and have the ability to freely talk to them, that's what communities are all about especially in the arts. S/o Shemar, Hester, Defcee, and August Fanom for their generosity 🙏🏽

👈 this guy just leveled up in consciousness. it's so important to go outside man

nice variety in my week even tho G* is still #1. Gotta make a case for Babel Tower to be a top 10 album of this year, its beautiful. Ankh x AF was also a great combo, needa run it back more. I tried the new Ghais and honestly hated it.. dont know what direction dude is going in, + fuck NY landlords!

not missing any cover art so only 1 slide needed. some banger drops + revisits this week, favorite new album goes to Mary Sue even tho Dorian and Chris Crack got more plays out of me. new Ravada this summer should be dope + that Captian Murphy album kinda sucks on RL, FlyLos not a rapper tho so pass

can't wait to go offline this summer and just dedicate all my time to art

My concrete top 10 rap records released so far

1. GOLLIWOG - woods
2. Did You Enjoy Your Time Here? - Prem
3. Pinball II - MIKE x TS
4. Emerge"N"See - Shem
5. Showbiz! - MIKE
6. Black'!Antique
7. Leaving Home
8. NEW BLOOD
9. Fada<3of$
10. Let Me Out
HM: Here & Here, DOGSTOEVSKY, (The) Forever Dream

nice start to the month with Shemar's EnS still getting hella playback from me 🙏🏽 need more Hester Valentine music to stream before my Tidal subscription runs out next month smh. Saafir's Boxcar Sessions was a dope FL + the new Wiz Khalifa had some bangers. New Defcee x Parallel Thought is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ too

the final line being "kiss your momma at her funeral im a bad guyyyyyy" should be enough context

#1 this week is obvious but my best FL was FYI, honestly feels like a long precursor to #RAH + on a very similar level. Love Without Conditions by Juice was an unexpectedly uplifting fl and 1 id recommend to ppl 4 sure. Potluck was very solid aside from the weird flows & Superette remains unfinished

🙏🏽 I love that area of hip hop a ton! And thank you yo dope that you found me here too lol im in the process of getting my website and business up so the more connections the better 🤟

3. Quelle
4. Aesop Rock
everyone else down

YES. Now im ashamed I didn't have him in mind lol but he deserves a lot of recognition for his production to go along with his stellar rapping

We’re finally getting the E L U C I D x Sebb Bash album!

And based on my recent talk with woods, it’s coming out this year 🔥🔥

if they have a duo name like Small Bills or NG I'll die

STOP I ALMOST PASSED OUT READING THIS

shit im on

fuck it, back to being a thread. ima put it out there that the new woods is AOTY for me, with new Premrock being a close second. MIKE has 2 albums from this year that both could deserve the 3rd spot but im not ready to make that claim lol (although if I had to pick itd be PB2)

up to 80 lbs on bench press and pushing higher

no crazy new drops so ran back my recent favorites. Anycia Kim is an enchantress straight up; I'm also immensely hyped for the upcoming DJ Haram solo album

tryna come up with this on the spot but top 10 active rappers who produce:

1. Kanye (pre breakdown) otherwise El-P
2. ELUCID
3. Quelle Chris
4. Roc Marciano
5. Q-Tip? (popular pick)
6. Alchemist
7. J Cole? (pop pick)
8. JPEGMAFIA
9. Pharrell
10. Tokyo Cigar?

HMs: Havoc, Lil Ugly Mane, Lungs, RZA

crazy finish. New woods is audio Dunkirk, a fuckin movie indeed. Thank god MIKE didn't drop the same day cus my head would've exploded

waited til I had a productive day to share my week so far

gonna post new photo work in addition to music topster stuff here

Emerge "N" See has been so fun to run back and experience. Shoutout to shemar and everybody who played a part on that project that made it such a surreal piece to listen to. Also really enjoyed Obijuans performance on New Blood along with the choices in production, that project deserves hella praise

April was a dope warm up for whats expected to be a monster May so I got to go back to some old favorites while enjoying new drops. DYEYTH has taken the spot for AOTY as it continues to blow me away every relisten. Driveby laced Sharif with a horrorscape, on top of being a great dude hes talented af

it's cheat week so bottom half is full of albums I boosted for my end of the month grid, but tapping in with Mashoni's music was well worth it and the new Obijuan is some quality heat. tryna tap back in with RMPP album club so ima try to study the Quelle album they chose so I can give some #thoughts
