Czeched II: New Year's Tang
Hi, everybody, it's the Faux Angel in the flesh. So I was walking through the forest of moccasin breath when I saw that the year 2016's now coming to a close; only a few hours until 2k17 breaks loose, man. To celebrate, this is a list that's actually a sequel to one that was done back in October... of '15. My God, have I been slipping. Anyway, same as the predecessor: the list contains several music releases I've been listening to and enjoying all throughout '16 including shit that dropped this year as well as prior. Just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down... |
