THE RELENTLESS YEAR OF 2020 IS OVER, AND ALTHOUGH IT WAS PRETTY MUCH A TRASH YEAR FROM START TO FINISH, THERE WERE SOME BRIGHT SPOTS BELIEVE IT OR NOT (PARTICULARLY IN MUSIC), SO IT’S ONLY FITTING I CREATED MY LIST WITH THE TOP 21 ALBUMS OF 2020.

IT WAS A YEAR OF PUSHBACKS, DELAYS, AND ABANDONED PROJECTS THAT MAY NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY, BUT EACH OF THESE ARTISTS DROPPED A PROJECT (OR TWO!) THAT WERE QUITE OUTSTANDING AND, CONSIDERING THE CIRCUMSTANCES THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN MADE IN, DESERVE HIGH PRAISE, AND WHAT’S HIGHER PRAISE THAN THE MAKING THE LIST OF A 25-YEAR-OLD DUDE FROM SYDNEY? PROBABLY NOTHING!

SO LET’S GET STARTED…

TOP 21 ALBUMS OF 2020 – THE BOTTOM 11!

21. POP SMOKE – SHOOT FOR THE STARS AIM FOR THE MOON

20. DRAKE – DARK LANE DEMO TAPES

19. JADEN – CTV3: COOL TAPE VOL. 3

18. KEHLANI – IT WAS GOOD UNTIL IT WASN’T

17. EMINEM – MUSIC TO BE MURDERED BY (+SIDE B)

16. BRENT FAIYAZ – FUCK THE WORLD

15. JAY ELECTRONICA (W/ JAY Z) – A WRITTEN TESTIMONY

14. LOGIC – NO PRESSURE

13. BIG SEAN – DETROIT 2

12. TEYANA TAYLOR – THE ALBUM
