2015 highlight of the year
Kendrick Lamar — To Pimp A Butterfly. Comprising staggering raw expression and unbridled political allegory, TPAB is a truly special work of art helping Lamar become (in my mind) hip hop's undisputed king (Kunta). We'll be unpacking this one for decades, which is phenomenal considering just how much it's already achieved. I'm not sure we'll see a better, more relevant or important hip hop album in the next decade. If we do, it's going to be incredible.
prediction for 2016
The unfortunate and regrettable deaths of more and more music festivals.
