The Boy Who Played the Harp

Dave Album

The Boy Who Played the Harp has its 1 year anniversary today and therefore I have to give it a relisten. This was my 2025 AOTY. And from start to finish is a masterpiece. One of my favorite albums of the 2020’s. It’s a beautiful album with amazing lyrics, production, and performance from Dave and features. I would really recommend it to other people. With this album Dave really cements himself as the uk rap goat.

Heavy Is The Crown

Anderson .Paak Album

I really love the way that this album starts off. The first 4 songs. So much energy and such good songs. All of the 4 songs. But then it tires out a bit with You’re Mine and we get back a little bit with Days Go By and Crown that are decent tracks but we never get back to the same level and same energy we have in the first 4 songs. And that is sad because it was really promising this album after the first 4 songs. I thought AOTY shouts, but it can’t be album of the year. I will also say that Anderson .Paak was better than Cordae on this album. Not that Cordae was bad but the situations many times was he had some decent verses and then Anderson got a better verse in the same song. I have 3 songs Cordae is better and 8 songs Anderson is better. The 3 songs Cordae is better is 58th Floor, Days Go By, and Godfather II. But I want them to make a collab album again because it think it’s really promising and can become very good.

Half Blood (BloodLuxe)

slayr Album

This is my first time ever hearing Slayr. And imma have to say this is the best rage album I’ve ever heard. 1 because of the music and 2 because of the album experience. Like all the transitions. For example the transition from Toxic to Eyesight. That’s one of the best transitions I’ve ever heard on an album. This might push for top 5 album of the year

REDSTAR WU & THE WORLDWIDE SCOURGE

Genesis Owusu Album

Before this i have actually never heard of Genesis Owusu. And I didn’t really know what to expect. But I will say that the album is good and it has a lot of great songs on it.

Denzel Curry Album

I normally don’t listen to Denzel but this was very interesting. He has a nice flow throughout the entire album and all the beats are great. Overall just a great album with only great songs. You can argue that it’s top 5 rap albums this year.
