Incredible atmosphere, fun features and adlibs. If you dont chew big red @Wes_Salton then fuck you.

Don’t Be Dumb by A$AP Rocky

i've had this on repeat and it has been really growing a lot on me since it came out. was it worth the 8 year wait? i'm not sure yet, but i do like it and there are really interesting moments on here, such as STFU, AIR FORCE (BLACK DEMARCO) and ROBBERY. the title track is also great

Mama’s Gun by Erykah Badu

"How good it is..." Simply sensational. As an avant-garde miracle, this gem came out of Electric Lady Studios in 2000 to bless an entire generation, and more... I was quite young when I first listened, and as a newly devoted Erykah Badu fan, I had to go and read the whole history of it... I truly believe the Soulquarians wouldn't have been complete without Erykah, and that the sound and poetry of Mama's Gun have a spiritual power, one that really takes you to that recording session in the Village, with Erykah, Questlove, J Dillla and D'Angelo. But history lessons aside, there really is something that moves me about this piece; the perfect blend between jazz and rock, the lyricism, and the flow between songs constellate the album with flawless elements. And what about that voice! Thank you Erykah!

Freedom by Akon

I'm going to listen to it over and over again. When I listened to it for the first time, what struck me was how radio-friendly it was. You can clearly sense Akon's desire to reach a wide audience, with dance-pop, R&B, and a touch of electro sounds, very much influenced by the late 2000s.
