Personal Picks
HEAVEN TO ME
from "CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST: The Estate Sale" (2023)
Why I like it?
The classic Kanye production? The bars? Dude come on. But more importantly, it's one of those songs that you can sigh in hope to, uno? A sigh of grounding assurance. "I'm making it out" type beat.
IGOR'S THEME
from "IGOR" (2019)
Why I like it?
It is probably the best way I've ever heard anyone begin an album. The best way. And I love a lot of intro's to albums. The hazing discordant noise is the best part. It's also my favourite of his albums so I'm defintely biased.
911 / Mr. Lonely
from "Scum F*ck Flower Boy" (2017)
Why I like it?
First: FRAAAAAAANK *sobs*. Second, I relate a little too much to the second part of the song. Third, head bop. I appreciate a good, wholesome, hearty head bop. A cute head bop means so much to me. Means my head is clear enough to stay present. Love it.
