I also really enjoyed the latest releases by steel tipped dove and the strangers (general elektriks/lateef/leeroy).

Sup Jason and the :phila: ! Happy new year.

Good hear from you after all these years. Tell me you're a full-time actor?

The Nas joints were good but for some reason didn't have much replay value. Like they weren't bad at all, in fact, I think 2 and 3 were pretty dope but I don't have a strong desire to revisit them anymore. Larry June was nice grown-man rap and obviously loved the El Michaels/Black Thought album. Blockhead was dope too! Looooooooooove Missipppi with Aesop on that album.

I didn't hear enough new stuff to have a real opinion, but I will say that Elzhi & Oh No- Heavy Vibrato is a good album and should be mentioned.

I listened to Ransom & Nicholas Craven- Director's Cut 4 today and it was pretty fire.
