what’s your AOTY so far? 🔥

My top 5 albums of 2025:

1. 12 – Westside Gunn

2. NEUTRAL NEGLECT – Clyde Cyrus

3. Balloonerism – Mac Miller

4. Showbiz – MIKE

5. The Final Call – Ransom & Dave East

This year was a gift for real hip-hop heads. Westside Gunn kept that high-art grimy feel alive with 12, MIKE stayed in his introspective lane, and Mac’s posthumous album was a soulful masterpiece. Ransom & Dave East brought elite bars, but NEUTRAL NEGLECT was different—Clyde delivered next-level storytelling, crazy flows, and an energy that made it unforgettable.
