This was a No-brainer for me: Idles

[Repo]

Whack World. One of the freshest albums I've heard in awhile. I really like Idles obvs, but Whack World blows my mind with its consistency and originality.

[cestuneblague]

I was surprised Idles made it out of that first matchup, color me impressed. Anyways, easy vote here, though Whack World is definitely colorful and engaging in it's own right.

[Fischman]

Act gives me little Joy, but at least it's not Whack.

I'd be surprised if Tierra Whack can pull off the upset this time, but she really deserves it. Brilliant album that brought a fresh approach, competing here against a solid retread of established sounds. The best hip-hop nominee of the tournament.
