Lets see for some Year-End reccomendations what's a good house, guitar-based, dreamy pop and album from East Asia, and Skinny (I'm only asking Skinny for this one, losers) what's a good under-the-radar hip-hop album that's BAWPy but not TOOOOO BAWPy.

Lets see for some Year-End reccomendations what's a good house, guitar-based, dreamy pop and album from East Asia, and Skinny (I'm only asking Skinny for this one, losers) what's a good under-the-radar hip-hop album that's BAWPy but not TOOOOO BAWPy.
House (DJ Healer made the best house album I've heard this year, but since you've already heard that):
I feel like Kids See Ghosts is being excluded from year-end lists because of Kanye's bullshit.
He's an ass, but don't penalize an incredible album for it
Kanye's only incredible album this year was his production on DAYTONA. I am not applying any penalty to that assessment. _________________ Join us in the canon game :) / Add me on RYM
Jean Grae x Quelle Chris - Everything's Fine is super bawpy, but super funny and well put together.
Phonte - No News Is Good News is kinda dated-sounding, soulful conscious rap, but really fucking good.
Hermit & the Recluse - Orpheus vs. the Sirens is dark, minimalist New York revivalism with lofty literary ambitions.
Roc Marciano - Behold a Dark Horse is psychedelic, outsized New York revivalism with scumbag comedy ambitions.
Payroll Giovanni & Cardo - Big Bossin Vol. 2 is less bawpy, but is super luxurious West Coast production meets super unpretentious gangster rap.
Slightly less under the radar that you have a chance of liking:
Noname - Room 25 is sexy poetry slam rap over swampy, live, jazz rap beats.
Earl Sweatshirt - Some Rap Songs is soulful, lo-fi neurotica.
jpegmafia - Veteran is glitchy, noisy, kitchen sink rap with a funny provocative streak. _________________ 2021 in full effect. Come drop me some recs. Y'all know what I like.

This came out November 9th and I just added it to the database today. Anyone who likes A Long Hot Summer should check it out. It might not reach the same heights, but it's still great. _________________ Join us in the canon game :) / Add me on RYM

Yeah, I really liked it. Landed just outside my top 50. _________________ 2021 in full effect. Come drop me some recs. Y'all know what I like.

Thanks, yeah the Hermit and the Recluse album was really phat, and c'mon you should know I don't be slacking on the Roc. But yeah if there are anymore perhaps non-BAWPy hip-hop albums that are vital, love to hear it too, as well as any more obscure UK contributions. Looking for that special 2018 master-stroke.
