Weird Weather

I have had a tab opened to blogger all day as I couldn't make up my mind what to post. This is a brand new instrumental LP (a few songs have rapping in them) that is excellent.

Also I got this picture from some bible website about the apocalypse. Pretty funny stuff since that kind of weather is fairly common in Florida around hurricane season.

Night

This album doesn't officially release until next week so it will have to fly under the google radars. The album is an instrumental LP that is supposed to have a "dark" theme but after listening it was the standard fare of what to expect from these producers.

Also happy 420 to all that enjoy the blessed herb and get together with friends and family.

Honest Hypothesis

Kinda surprised this album is so hard to find on the net but do not worry, I bring it here exclusively for my readers. If you are wondering how I get these albums, I buy them and then post them here for y'all. Hope everyone appreciates the untitled posts as much as the normal ones.

Also this album took a few listens to really understand, he raps so fast that the first couple spins can be overwhelming.
