New Music Recommendations
Portland rapper Aminé, has graced us with his third full length record 13 Months of Sunshine. This laid back yet vulnerable album touches on subjects such as his struggles with depression and his journey of learning about his father. Despite some the heavy lyrical content, this still feels like quite the summer vibe(to me at least). Give it a whirl. FFO: Duckwrth, Earthgang, Vince Staples, Smino, Lido, Saba, Buddy.
