Welcome back, July is here and that means we are in the second half of the year. What new music, or artist has been heavy in your rotation this year? For me Larry June and Killer Mike have been my go to; on the r&b side I have been listening to St. Louis’s own Jordan Ward, along with SZA, Summer Walker, and Alex Vaughn.

No matter your cup of tea there has been a lot of great releases in 2023 despite what Billboard says about hip hop not charting. Music has always been subjective to the listener’s ear, and that being said you are free to play whatever you like. Just make sure you listen to my playlist though and we will not have any problems.
