Sep 30, 2016 Just gonna share some albums that I enjoyed throughout 2016 that might not have gotten serious recognition. I'll make note of some tracks that I felt were highlights to make it easier to get into if you have some sort of interest in any of them. If you feel like you have heard of any artist in this thread I'll put their associated acts as well. I'll also link the albums if possible. (IE: If they are available on Soundcloud/Datpiff/Bandcamp for easier streaming. If there is not a link to them they are available on Apple Music and Spotify) Rome Fortune - Jerome Raheem Fortune (Fool's Gold Records.
