V.  UNLIMITED AMMO - NAMASENDA 

 

 

 

after about two years of what i would like to call

"hyperpop fatigue" minus the queen charli, 

namasenda has lived up to the hype and dropped 

one of the best mixtapes this year. it reminds me

of the early stages of PC music where the emphasis 

was on the songs sounding great, polished and up-tempo. 

unlimited ammo captures the essence of a hannah diamond 

yet produces something unique to namasenda. 

 

if you're looking to get into namasenda, i would start with donuts 

and the accompanying ep and then hop into this sea of

good-good. the mixtape is cohesive, it comes with its own

personality and most importantly, it comes with the bops 

 

top track: banana clip

genre: bubblegum bass, electropop 

[worldwide angel]

IV. FOREVER25 - KAMEN 

 

 

 

 

thee literal definition of r&b excellence! i got put onto 

kamen by one of my mutuals on twitter (thank you trey!)

and on first listen i have been blown away by how marvelous

this EP is. i believe this is his first full project and kamen already 

comes through with a polished sound and exceptionally soothing

vocals to enhance the overall feel of the project. 

 

the album oozes in confidence and quite honestly contains 

what might be missing in male r&b today, originality  

at no point does the EP give throwaway [x artist] beats and 

that is truly commendable, i recommend you all give 

FOREVER25 a stream. 

 

top track: real

genre: contemporary r&b 

[worldwide angel]

III.  1/6 - SUNMI 

 

 

 

 

 

i know i am very, very late to the party but i'm 

so grateful to have discovered this serve of an

EP before the year ended. i was on twitter and 

one of my other mutuals (thanks k!) quote 

tweeted a tweet with the music video and i 

was gagging

 

i thought the lead single "you can't sit with us"

was a serve but the entire EP slams. sunmi does

the disco influenced sound that's reignited in the 

late 2010s with a level of genuineness that is quite

rare to be honest. plus, the city pop influences do not

go unappreciated.  after reading up on the lyrics, 

the album tackles so much in the best way possible. 

 

we get to hear about how sunmi deals with everyday 

human emotions and how that is impacted by her BPD.

i really loved the approach she took with this EP and i now 

consider myself a sunmi stan in the making because of this 

amazing project. 

 

top track: 1/6 

genre: k-pop, bubblegum pop, dance pop

II. SOMETHING FOR THEE HOTTIES - MEGAN THEE STALLION 

 

 

 

 

its the way megan continues to surprise me and 

get me together with each new release. thot shit 

alone was everything for me and then some but 

this compilation was everything i wanted good 

news to be. 

 

good news is, in fact great in my opinion but 

it was clearly affected by the year megan had 

as well as ongoing label disputes. however, meg

put all that energy into a 10/10 project that reminded

me of the many reasons why i love her. 

 

the bars are there  

the branding is there  

the stellar production is there  

 

honestly this is sitting in her top three for me and

it's not three. megan comes through with a lot of 

clever yet refreshing hooks, interesting shade and 

best of all, the bops and anthems but bigger

and better. 

 

top track: let me see it 

genre: southern hip hop, rap, trap

I. HEAUX TALES - JAZMINE SULLIVAN 

 

 

 

this is what we call quality. a project that takes 

something so simple and universal as love and 

adds significant nuances and perspectives to 

eventually create a timeless, cohesive record. 

 

there's been a lot of talk about who's going to 

save r&b and what does r&b need to survive

beyond the 2020s and honestly, alongside 

several others who have made this year end

list, jazmine is one of the few artists who 

have preserved the genre well and continue 

to expand upon it in a meaningful way.

 

we get various perspectives of black women

whether they be queer, idealistic or whether 

they be tackling issues such as body image 

and class.  jazmine just handles these 

various topics with a poignancy that very 

few have to their credit. 

 

plenty of people have made a comparison 

with heaux tales and lauryn hill's the 

miseducation of lauryn hill  and i definitely 

caught on to a mother-daughter relationship between

the two works. 

 

top track: the other side

genre: contemporary r&b neo-soul

Jazmine #1 as she should. Too bad Grammy is riding too hard on H.E.R. back. Heaux Tales deserves AOTY nom

[smholiv]

what a great start already!! Namasenda, Jazmine, Tkay(!!). They all had fantastic releases this year, glad they're mentioned!

 

 

 

[TheWayWeWere]

Heaux Tales  deserved #1 one of my favorite releases of the year

[Alex]

Something for Thee Hotties and Heaux Tales 

[Kinich]

Namasenda, Jazmine and Sunmi

 

The hyperpop era maybe dying now but Namasenda pulled it off with her album this year 

 

Sunmi kept on delivering this year despite flopping consecutively

 

Heaux Tales is really that album, she really put all of her pussy energy there

 

 

[BlackoutZone]

Uhh immaculate, I know I have to revisit Heaux cause I kinda liked it, but it's super acclaimed so I'm sure there is more to unfold on next listeners.

BUT Something for Thee Hotties and 1/6 are fucking great

[bestfiction]

1/6 is amazing

I need to get into Jazmine
