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

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.
