It has been roughly a year &amp; a half now since Pop Smoke tragically passed &amp; just a little over a year since the release of ‘Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon’. What would have been the rapper’s 22nd birthday on July 20th, is timed precisely with a new posthumous album release ‘Faith’ having dropped just 4 days prior. Without hesitation, we gave it a listen - check out the ep. for our review.

Okay ya’ll, as you know, we recently made an announcement where we will be listing out our top favorite albums that dropped this year. So much music got released in 2020 &amp; narrowing down a list was much harder than we anticipated. Because of this, we made a list of just our honorable mentions, be sure to check the previous episode to hear both our mentions!  Without further ado ya’ll, listen along as both GoGo &amp; M lad announce their Top 15 through 6 album selections from 2020. Our Top 5 coming soon! Stay tuned.

2020 is finally coming to an end &amp; 1️⃣ thing we received an abundance of this year has been quality music to help get us thru these trying times. •We [GoGo &amp; M Lad] did sum HW, going thru Hip Hop’s releases of 2020, to come up with individual lists of top favorite albums from the year. This wasn’t easy, as some of rap’s biggest ⭐️‘s continued dropping music as late as Nov/Dec‼️causing both of our lists to continuously evolve. •This alone resulted in us coming up with a list of “Honorable Mentions” - albums that didn’t make the final cut, but we wished to still pay homage to. •Link in our bio to check out the full video &amp; audio clips of those lists now! •TOP 1️⃣5️⃣ coming this week!
