Favorite Albums of 2024
The arrival of 2024 brought plenty of great albums. Here are my top picks of the year.
When Smoke Rises is a stunning debut from Mustafa dedicated to Smoke Dawg and Regent Park.
Kim Areum takes the crossover of K-Pop with City Pop to addictive heights on the nostalgic Summer City.
Mac Miller’s magnum opus, Faces, received an official vinyl pressing that sounds phenomenal.
The Extravagant Collection is the long-awaited album from NorthSideBenji that proves he’s on a different level in Toronto’s underground scene.
Team Spirit’s TI10 run was nothing short of incredible as they defeated the world’s best teams showcasing resilience, teamwork, and a little “luck.”
Music of the Spheres is a disaster on all fronts that can’t even manage to bring out Coldplay’s cheesy optimism in an engaging way.
Punk is an encapsulation of Young Thug’s different styles and melds together acoustic instrumentals with his traditional trap anthems.
The vinyl pressing for Ecco2k’s E is one of the most impressive packages in recent memory with some nice bonuses.
Luka Troncic is the fourth project from Michigan rapper BabyTron with yet another endless stream of punchlines and 80s throwback beats.
Demon Slayer: Mugen Train is an exhilarating ride that’ll leave you in tears by the time the final credits roll.
