Jash's 2023
Here it is: the list nobody asked for, the list I was too lazy to make for almost two months, but the list that I needed to make because I have nothing else to keep me entertained until the F1 season starts this weekend |
| 30 |  | boldy james
Indiana Jones
Mr. Consistant strikes again |
| 29 |  | Jeromes Dream
The Gray In Between
And the skramz reunion of the year goes toooooooo. |
| 28 |  | George Clanton
Ooh Rap I Ya
God damn the drums on this sound so good. |
| 27 |  | MIKE, Wiki, and The Alchemist
Faith Is A Rock
A legend and two legends in the making collide. |
| 26 |  | bambii
Infinity Club
One of underground dance music's biggest up and comers is Bambii. Her DJ set's are an absolute joruney and her productions are the exact same, for sure a name to watch from now on. |
| 25 |  | Johnny Booth
Moments Elsewhere
Is there melody? (yes)
Does it riff hard? (yes)
Do I like it a lot? (yes) |
| 24 |  | Lord Sko
United Palace
One of NYC's most underrated MC's. |
| 23 |  | Larry June and The Alchemist
The Great Escape
Smooth. Smooth. Smooth. |
| 22 |  | MIKE
Burning Desire
MIKE is on his path to greatness, this is another great step towards his vision. |
| 21 |  | Noname
Sundial
One of my favourite lyricists putting together another amazing record, although lacking the cohesion and vibes her last LP did. |
| 20 |  | Invent Animate
Heavener
Not usually huge on this style of metal, but this one really did it for me. |
| 19 |  | maria bc
Spike Field
Hypnotic album which reminds me of early Hval, can't wait to see where she goes from here. |
| 18 |  | cory hanson
Western Cum
It's like if Skynard was great. |
| 17 |  | Tinashe
BB/ANG3L
The production on this is insanely good, while Tinashe sits comfortably in her pocket. |
| 16 |  | La Dispute
Here, Hear. IV
Easily one of the best installments of the Here, Hear series. |
| 15 |  | Empty Country
Empty Country II
Best heard whilst driving through the mountains. |
| 14 |  | Rocks FOE
RELEX Pt. 4
One of the most slept-on rapper producers out there, Rocks comes through with another brilliant release of smooth production and impeccable bars. |
| 13 |  | end
The Sin of Human Frailty
Heavy. Heavy. Heavy. |
| 12 |  | ICECOLDBISHOP
GENERATIONAL CURSE
This gave me mad Good Kid Mad City vibes, so excited for what he does next. |
| 11 |  | Caroline Polachek
Desire, I Want To Turn Into You
The greatest vocal talent in pop right now. |
| 10 |  | JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown
Scaring the Hoes
Peggy continues to cement himself as one of the best producers of our time, meanwhile Danny brings the perfect amount of chaos to match the beats. |
| 9 |  | Amaarae
Fountain Baby
Pop/RnB album of the year. Given the ventures in the second half I can't wait to see how her sound develops in the future. |
| 8 |  | Sufjan Stevens
Javelin
Second album to bring me to tears this year. |
| 7 |  | Yeule
softscars
First album to bring me to tears this year. |
| 6 |  | Wednesday
Rat Saw God
It's the 2019 Azerbaijan GP reference for me. |
| 5 |  | Sincere Engineer
Cheap Grills
The most *POW RIGHT IN THE FEELS* album of the year for me. |
| 4 |  | Armand Hammer
We Buy Diabetic Test Strips
Billy Woods the GOAT [2]
These two are both on cruise control right now and doing laps around their peers. |
| 3 |  | Otik
Cosmosis
A masterclass on emotion through dance music. |
| 2 |  | Chepang
Swatta
Haven't felt like this since the first time I heard Orchid. |
| 1 |  | Billy Woods and Kenny Segal
Maps
An incredible dissection of post covid touring life. Woods continues to prove himself to be one of the top lyricists of the last two decades. |
