Jay’s Top Albums of the Summer//

Hello to all and apologies for being less than present during the summer. I’ve switched coasts and will now be keeping you all apprised of the dankness occurring in the Bay Area of Kuhlifawnia. The Governator and I hope you all had a fantastic summer and we’re excited to share a few albums with you.

So without further ado….

Bun B - Trill OG: This is the third and final installment in the Bun’s “Trill” series and has by far the most star power with Drake, Gucci Mane, T-Pain (personally hate T-Pain) and Young Jeezy joining in the fun. The album also features tracks produced by J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League and Boy-1nda (of Drake sidekick fame). If you wanna be a gangster in the summertime (or fall) then look no further.

The Budos Band - III: There’s just no stopping the Daptone label, The Budos, The Sharon Jones, The Lee Fields or the Menahen St Band but I haven’t been able to stop listening to this since it came out. Typical great groove, not a throwback/hokey kind of funk but their own thing. Budos delivers a third time.

Rick Ross - Teflon Don: Don’t care at all that his whole persona is a fake. I love The Bawse and I love Bear Grylls. Best rapper name not yet used: Bare Grillz.

Ratatat - LP4: Another long time favorite of mine, Ratatat made my summer with LP4. As you can see, I’m a simple man but this band continues to put out great stuff and deserve a mention here.

Hope you all had a great summer and don’t forget to vote “Yes!!!!!” on Prop 19.
