The boys share their favorite albums and tracks of 2022.

Last year, Fatboi Sharif’s career blew up with the deluxe edition of his album Gandhi Loves Children, his collab album with Roper Williams. His hellish music quickly became one of our biggest musical obsessions of the year. Since then, he’s been featured on records from Billy Woods, Moor Mother, Steel Tipped Dove, and Darko the Super, bringing his unique, unmatched style to every verse he’s done. We were fortunate enough to sit down with his recently to discuss his music making process, his lyrics, and his latest album with Noface, Preaching in Havana.   “Preaching in Havana” is out now!

In a very special episode, Vincent and Trevor hold a new interview with Baltimore MC/producer Height Keech and Philly MC Darko the Super about their latest album You Gotta Have Friends!   You Gotta Have Friends is out March 4th on heightkeech.bandcamp.com

Trevor and Vincent dive into three highly anticipated projects, including the follow up from Black Country, New Road, Ants From Up There; the return to form for Animal Collective with Time Skiffs; and Saba’s big step in the right direction on Few Good Things.

Vincent and Trevor explore two new albums: the latest effort since 2019 from Combo Chimbita, IRE, and the sequel to Your Old Droog and Tha God Fahim’s project from last year, Tha Wolf on Wall St. 2: The American Dream.

Vincent and Trevor take a look at two new projects: indie-rock legend Pedro the Lion’s ode to David Bazan’s temporary childhood home Havasu and English electronic musician Bonobo’s organic yet synthetic album Fragments.

Trevor and Vincent dive into the first batch of exciting projects in 2022, including The Weeknd’s latest exploration of 80s sounds Dawn FM, the long awaited project from Earl Sweatshirt SICK!, and CAPRISONGS, the first full-length project from FKA twigs since 2019.

Vincent and Trevor take a trip down memory lane with some reissues that made it to streaming services last year, including Mac Miller’s 2014 mixtape Faces, A$AP Rocky’s debut project LIVE.LOVE.A$AP and the new double re-release of Radiohead’s early 2000s albums Kid A and Amnesiac, Kid A MNESIA.
