Some nice half-awake, Jazz Sunday / International Coffee Day vibes going on over here

Day 16 - Father's Day Shoutout to the man who when I was a kid, would make me and my siblings to spend our Saturdays with him CD and record store hopping whenever he was in town. And who years later, despite us not having the closest relationship, immediately drove across two states to see me...

Day 15 - A Bomb Soundtrack New Jack City

Day 14 - Flag Day Wells Fargo - Watch Out! Between the booklet that talks about the how Wells Fargo was making music during the Zimbabwe's war for independence and that the color of the record uses two of the main colors on the Zimbabwe flag - this was a shoe in pick for me.

Day 13 - Lucky Zapp & Roger - Greatest Hits No particular reason why, but I always feel lucky to own this.

Day 12 - Those Were The Days And one of these days... I'll actually play these on the days they are supposed to be played Juvenile - 400 Degreez I was an elementary schooler in New Orleans when this came out. There was a certain amount of hype around any Hot Boyz release that came out...

Day 11 - Play It Loud Ironically, it's late as hell and all my flatmates are sleep, so this is on the lowest of volumes.... BUT MR. SUBENSTEIN HIMSELF!!!! BIG K.R.I.T. - 4EVA IS A MIGHTY LONG TIME

Day 10 - Perfect Anderson .Paak - Malibu

Day 9 - Obligatory Jazz Record Oliver Nelson - Screamin the Blues

Day 8 - Boxed In Following @Corycm's lead and playing some Kamasi. Kamasi Washington - The Epic

Day 7 - Should You Have That Frank Ocean - Channel Orange This was actually one of the first records I bought from my local right after I got my first turntable. Took awhile before I realized that there was never an official Channel Orange release and you could buy bootleg records from stores.

Playing a little catch up here... Day 6 - All About that Brass The Baby Huey Story: The Living Legend

Day 5 - (samples from) String Theory Oooh, that dress so scandalous.. Sisqo - Unleash the Dragon

I'm probably biased because I think her first album dropped around the same time as Blonde, so I know I didn't give it as dedicated a listen as I could have but I feel like there's a bit of fat that can be trimmed off it. Saturn feels like a smoother, more cohesive project where each song has...

Day 4 - In The Pocket The Meters - Live on the Queen Mary

Day 3 - You Move Me Luther Vandross - Never Too Much On one end, it's physically impossible for me to sit still through most of the songs on this album (title track especially). On the entire opposite side of the spectrum, there's his version of "A House is Not a Home" which is 7 minutes of...

Day 2 - Seconds Speaking of NAO... NAO - Saturn There aren't enough good things I can say about this album. Heartbreak, introspection, hope, optimism on the future... all flowing together into one beautifully executed project

True. This was in my top albums of 2018. Glad to see he's starting to get more shine from a lot of features this year though (Schoolboy Q, Jessie Reyez, NAO, Kehlani, etc)

Day 1 - Who Are You? "I'm an R&B ***** with a hip-hop core." - 6lack 6lack - East Atlanta Love Letter
