30. Ju Jilla- Reach Higher
Insane year for music. I could've gone much deeper but I just enjoyed these top 30 a cut above the rest. I also really enjoyed albums this year from Pictoria Vark, Jim Legxcy, Freddie Gibbs, Beach Bunny, Earl Sweatshirt, Ben Quad, Ichiko Aoba, forever ☆, Agriculture, Billy Woods, Racing Mount Pleasant, Sadness, Yellow Eyes, To Be Gentle, First Day Back, Sudan Archives, Jingwei, and Redveil. All those are worth your time. I believe my top 3 are all 10/10s. I can't remember if I've ever thought there were 3 perfect 10 from a single year quickly after they came out.
