#131 - SZA - SOS REVIEW
This album hit me at a very pivotal time in December of last year when I needed it most, where I was fragile, spiraling, and deeply ashamed.

#109 - Kendrick Lamar - Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers REVIEW
Who is Kendrick Lamar?
That is a serious question, because for as much as Kendrick has given us of him in his music... there has always been a certain protective barrier shielding us the audience, from this talented 34 year-old guy from Compton.
On Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, Kendrick leaves no stone unturned, putting an hour-long therapy session on wax, for the world to see and criticize as they please.
This is Kendrick at his most daring and human, which makes Big Steppers feel vastly different than anything else he's created thus far.
