Emim Turns 14
Damn, I'm old. Crazy to think I joined this site when I was 16. Sput has been a constant in my life pretty much that whole time and I thank you all, young and old, for the laughs, memories, and recs all these years. This site is such a fantastic resource and collection of knowledge if you have the patience to suss it out. I'm glad I stuck around, and if the hamster currently keeping the servers afloat can keep it up I'll stick around until the wheels fall off. List is a pretty decent smattering of my musical taste, so I encourage you to check out anything that sounds interesting and I hope you connect to it the way I have. |

Probably the newest addition to my essential albums list. Slept on them for way too long, but this has truly become one of my favorite albums ever made. Everything just hits, and the lyrics, oh lord, THE LYRICS |

Mostly focused on heavier stuff for this list, but I listen to a decent amount of hip hop. These two albums were instrumental in developing my love for the genre, though I'm sure many purists might turn their nose up at the inclusion. |
