i was tagged by @sofarsofastmp3 ♡

nine favorite albums - this was a really hard one because while I'm listening to music every second of my life that I CAN listen to music during, I'm... not an album person?

I listen to songs and playlists more than albums. I actually have a problem where I'll discover and be obsessed with a song and just... not listen to the rest of the album for some reason!

so, with that said, the ALBUMS that are important to me are really stellar because they have so many bangers on them (or are otherwise significant), enough to break past my inability to listen to albums.

without further ado, in no particular order, a mix of albums (and I'm stealing this caveat from @sofarsofastmp3 too: "this is a mixture of long term, all time, favorites and current obsessions i'd feel weird leaving out but haven't been out long enough for me to say they're all timers. they probably are though."):

1. Greatest Hits by Waterparks

2. Moral Panic by Nothing But Thieves

3. Lonesome Dreams by Lord Huron

4. Strange Trails by Lord Huron

5. Bad Blood by Bastille

6. Final State by Final State

7. VHS by X Ambassadors

8. Dream Machine by Des Rocs

9. Preacher's Daughter by Ethel Cain

Honorable mention to Racine Carrée by Stromae which would have made the cut if not for me riding the post-concert high of Waterparks.

I'm tagging in @horkey @simmyfrobby @idontlikeem @crosbyism @goldforgoalies @timbitshockey @freebooter4ever @goofingup

... and below I also decided to share my favorite songs from each of these albums in case anyone is so inclined to give them a listen!!

#if anyone wants me to elaborate on any of these choices I WOULD LOVE TO lol

how about 🌈 for any of your platonics or familials that you choose !!

Oh! I can definitely do that! Thank you for this opportunity!!

(source: this post by bewearships)

send me a 🌈 + one of my F/Os for my sexuality/gender headcanons for them! - Let's see what I can think of, shall we? This won't be everyone, but it'll be a good scattering!

I think my three dads (Vandham, Dedede, and Nader) and my three grandads (Greygnarl, Paarthunax, and Zhongli) all like men in some way or another. That's just the vibes I'm getting from all of them. Shoutout to all three of my grandads being dragons in some form or another, incidentally.

Today (the 5th of June) is actually Katya's birthday, so it'd be remiss of me to not talk about her! That's my little sister!! Ferry (her creator) has semi-canonically said that she likes girls, so I personally headcanon her to be a lesbian. I also headcanon her to be nonbinary!

Actually, since I've mentioned Katya I shall also mention Dima, given that they're both from the same series and they're both my little siblings. Ferry has, again, semi-canonically said that he's straight, and I'm fine with sticking with that. In terms of his gender, I headcanon him to be a trans boy.

For some platonic F/Os.. you cannot tell me Nia isn't a trans girl. I also headcanon her to be pansexual. Following the XC2 theme, I headcanon Crossette to be a lesbian, Roc is canonically nonbinary (literally, his gender in the code is 4 where 1/2/3 are for male/female/animal Blades) and I also think he likes men, I like the idea of aroace Haze, and Mòrag and Brighid are definitely both sapphic and also very likely to be in love with each other.

Okay, now for some who aren't from XC2 specifically; I headcanon Taka to be bisexual and Cain to be trans and also bisexual, I headcanon Xion to be nonbinary and sapphic and Strelitzia to be bisexual (because of the flower pun). I'm not sure if you could say these count as headcanons if they're about my own OCs, but none of my Dragon Quest IX OCs cishet - Iris is a cis lesbian, Kana is a trans girl and is pansexual, and Jasper is bigender and aroace.

Hopefully this scattering of assorted headcanons is alright! Thank you once again for this opportunity to give so many ^-^

An official design for Cain! ☀︎ He’s a Grazer (rough translation), and his people are traditionally shepherds of skofies, which look like little sheep-dragons. However, his life took a turn with a round of Bravalfire, and he hasn’t been the same since…

Grazers are a peaceful people, having guarded the skofies for as long as they can remember. Skofies silly little wings help them glide and hop like chickens, but aside from an occasional angry ram, they are exceptionally not-predators. Grazers keep watch over them and often take them up mountainsides to graze. They have stronger fingers and toes that let them balance on the most precarious ledges, and fangs and horns to help them defend against attacking creatures, though they do usually carry a staff or sling to help with that as well. They often decorate their horns (sometimes wrists and ankles as well) with clay beads or little scales shed by the skofies. The beads tinkle with movement or in the wind, which helps the skofies know to stay nearby!

Funky note: A skofë shepherd is called skofherd!

Ka - Descendants Of Cain ALBUM REVIEW

Ka is in a world of his own when it comes to his music in the entire landscape of Hip Hop. Even though he’s known for working with guys like Roc Marciano, Ka’s music exists in its own lane. I personally think he is one of the best lyricists of all time and every time he puts out a project, that opinion grows much stronger. This new album is his seventh project overall and for the majority of his discography, Ka’s albums have taken on a certain theme to them which he applies to his own life. On his 2013 album The Night’s Gambit, Ka’s life was like a game of chess. He’s told stories of his life in parallel to the life of a samurai on 2016′s Honor Killed The Samurai and applied stories from Greek mythology to his life on 2018′s Orpheus vs. The Sirens. Also, his 2015 collab album with preservation, Dr. Yen Lo was a concept album based off a book called The Manchurian Candidate. His latest album, aptly titled Descendants Of Cain is yet another album where Ka tells more stories of his life in Brownsville but this time it follows the story of Cain and Abel from The Bible. Every time a Ka album drops, I always have to listen to it many times in order to unpack all the complexity and brilliance that lies in Ka’s lyrics. Whether it’s related to the concept or just a clever punchline, Ka’s lyrics often go over my head and if you’re not paying attention, you might miss it. One of the first things I noticed was the name “Cain” in the title can also be spelled as “caine” like cocaine. After I made that connection, I heard a line on Solitude Of Enoch where Ka says “Brothers killing brothers, descendants of Cain.” What I took from that line was that Cain’s son Enoch descended from him, while cocaine is the source of a lot of the violence that surrounds Ka so the violence between black people in Ka’s neighborhood all stems from “caine.” Of course the line about brothers killing brothers is about Cain killing his brother Abel as well. All the lyrics from every song on this album are intertwined and I connected Solitude Of Enoch to the song Land Of Nod, which is where Enoch was born. When you look up Land Of Nod on Wikipedia, it says that “Cain continued his wickedness in Nod: resorting to violence and robbery” which made me connect that violence and robbery in Nod to what goes on in Brownsville according to Ka. Another example of lyrics being related to each other throughout the album is the song My Brother’s Keeper, which talks about Cain and Abel being brothers but Abel ends up dying in the story. The whole song made me think about the song The Eye Of A Needle where Ka has a line where he says “Would've told Kev I love him if knew he was next to leave us.” Ka was in a duo called Nightbreed with a rapper named Kev before he passed away in 2015, who Ka definitely viewed as a “brother.” The whole idea of Cain and Abel being brothers and Ka and Kev being brothers (even though Kev passed away in an accident) really stood out to me. In the story of Cain and Abel, the ground plays a significant role in the story and there’s a line on Every Now And Then that really stood out to me about it. Ka raps, “People I love blood is in the soil that I walk.” That line is very similar to the one in the Bible where the ground “opens its mouth to take the blood." That was super interesting to me. These are just a few lyrics that really stood out to me in terms of lyrics that directly apply to the concept. One thing I really appreciate about Ka’s music aside from the fact that there’s always a brilliant concept is that even if you don’t want to do all this extra work into deciphering lyrics and breaking down the concept, there are plenty of clever bars in general that have to be acknowledged. On Old Justice, there’s a line where he says “The cypher's muddy, the cycle bloody till all my men straight.” That line was so dope because it compares a cycle of violence to a menstrual cycle (men straight/menstruate). One of my favorite lines on the album is on Unto The Dust where he raps “On a path for power, when half a dollar was hated by many men.” Half of a dollar is 50 Cents and 50 Cent has an album called Power Of A Dollar and a song called Many Men. The wordplay in that one line is so dope to me. There was another dope bar on Land Of Nod where Ka says “Least one foot in the square's what we revere as boxin'” which means he has a foot in the drug game selling “squares” is like having a foot in a square boxing ring. Yes, the lyrics on this album are incredible and that is to be expected from Ka but the music itself is dope as well. Ka usually handles most of his production aside from doing entire albums with producers like Preservation and Animoss. Ka produced most of this album aside from Animoss and Roc Marciano producing a few songs. Speaking of Roc Marciano, I have to talk about Sins Of The Father. I could not have been happier when I heard Roc Marciano pop up on that song. The beat he did for that song is so dope and the hook where Roc and Ka go back and forth was amazing. It makes me want the Metal Clergy collaborative album that they have been teasing forever even though Ka hinted it wasn’t coming out. Not too long ago, Ka tweeted a list of every song he and Roc Marciano have done together and said "You may be asking for something we already gave you." Roc said in a Rap Radar interview that it’s coming out so I’m hoping it comes out eventually because we need that. One of the most interesting beats on this album was P.R.A.Y. because it’s not really a beat, it’s sort of Ka rapping over some noises. It’s barely a beat and Ka managed to find his pocket which speaks to how good a rapper he is. Very few rappers could do that. Roc Marciano, Danny Brown and Your Old Droog come to mind as some of the only others that could flow over that. This album is fantastic and I’m sure that I’ll have made plenty more connections to the concept and found lyrics that went over my head even after I post this review. There’s always so much to break down when Ka drops an album so take your time with it and appreciate the intricacy within the lyrics from one of the best to ever do it.

Defjux’s Top 50 Hip Hop Albums of 2020

It probably goes without saying that 2020 was a mess overall, and even that feels like an understatement, but it still ended up being an incredible year for music. So many quality releases, and it seemed like most of my favorite artists all had something important to say. MVPs for me this year are Wrecking Crew, Backwoodz, Boldy James, Moor Mother, Serengeti, Iceberg Theory, Ransom, AKAI SOLO, Navy Blue, August Fanon, and Nicholas Craven. 

As always, this is all based on replay value & personal significance. Definitely not an attempt at any kind of objective, irrefutable ranking - just a visual representation of what albums resonated with me the most in 2020. I gotta say though, if you think it was a weak year for rap releases there’s a chance you just weren’t looking hard enough. Also, if you’d like, you can click the names of the albums and it’ll take you to the bandcamp page or somewhere else you can listen.  Chart with Album Titles included Spotify Playlist

***BEST OF 2020: The Best Rap Albums From a Historically Horrible Year***

So much has been said about this year, so on the last day of 2020 I don’t need to dive any further into exploration of what made this year so challenging (both at a personal and global level), but on the bright side I will say that two unrelated forces saved this year for me: 1.) my amazing baby daughter, and 2.) the seemingly never ending cycle of new, interesting music releases.

Before we dive in, just two points on my criteria for this list:

- must be released within this calendar year (1/1 - 12/31/20)

- must consist of at least 7 tracks

- rankings are according to a combination of my own favorite albums, and other impressive pieces of work that might not be directly up my alley, but I still found truly impressive

So for my last post of 2020...here are the Top 100 Rap Albums/Projects of 2020 (and a more than worthy list of albums that belong on that same list, further down the page):

10. HOMME by Kipp Stone

Without a doubt the most under-the-radar project on this list, and technically a mixtape and not an "album"...but that doesn't matter much to me, because this effort contains every bit of passion, every bit of perspective, and every bit of sheer love for rapping as any of the the best rap albums of 2020. It's hard to say whether East Cleveland is headed towards similar territory that Detroit, Buffalo, and Rochester now occupy, but with HOMME Kipp Stone captures the hunger, anxiety and forever shoulder-chipped struggle of having big dreams that seem more like unlikely fantasies. Kipp was buzzing a few years back, but making his grand return with this project is confirmation that he is next level talent and is more than ready to make a big splash in 2021.

9. Reasonable Drought by Stove God Cook$ and Roc Marciano

Quotes, on top of quotes, on top of quotes. Not sure what else to say about Roc Marciano's protege at this point, who came out of nowhere to close out 2020 as one of the most sought after feature-verse assassins in the business today.  Yes, his bars are hilarious, but it's the outside-the-box references and unpredictable bar pairings that truly made this project such an impressive debut. Roc provided high quality instrumentals for Reasonable Drought, but it's clear that he was intentionally lurking in the background to allow the Stove God to stand on his own two. While the album is probably not at the level of Jigga's classic Reasonable Doubt debut that this project tips its' cap to, it's not hard to imagine that someday we will look back at Stove God Cook$' debut as the coming out party for one of New York City's finest MCs.

8. Àdá Irin by Navy Blue

I never imagined that one of the biggest challenges at this point would not be whether or not Navy Blue deserves to be recognized as having one of the top rap 10 albums of 2020, but rather which album to choose for the top 10!? From Earl Sweatshirt affiliate and Soundcloud producer to standout solo talent, the west coast born by east coast stationed MC/writer/producer/model/skateboarder (!?) had himself a banner year. Of his many gifts, his strongest is his ability to craft beautiful, soulful soundscapes that blend the best elements of the NYC lofi scene with shades of late 90's L.A. underground. Dealing with themes of love, loss, joy, and depression, Navy seems to possess wisdom well beyond his years, and it enabled him to craft not one, but two of the most inviting and accessible offerings from lofi circles that I have heard, and I mean that in the best way possible.  

7. From King To A God (Deluxe) by Conway The Machine

He did it. Griselda's top muscle came through to deliver his most well-rounded, and arguably strongest overall project yet. Everything from the bars, to the varied production, to the bleeding soul of this project exemplifies the difference between an album and a "tape". The Machine was a machine in 2020, blitzing an astronomical number of feature verses, but FKTG was the gem he needed in his crown to solidify himself as a contender for best MC in the game moving forward. While this is not his actual Shady Records label debut (who knows when that will arrive now), this certainly feels like his major league arrival.

6. Alfredo by Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist

Two hip-hop specialists getting together to drop a project just for fun in the middle of a pandemic...what could go wrong? Well, almost nothing, actually. Freddie arrived dripping with soul and Al slid a nice little package of beats his way, and what we ended up with was a strong partner-project to FETTI (their previous stellar collaboration alongside Curren$y), only packaged with little snippets of personal revelations and free-flowing opinions throughout. Gibbs is one of the masters of hooking you in with his voice and contagious flow, so much so that his skills as a talented writer are often overlooked. While not necessarily the incredible revelation that his collaborations with Madlib have been thus far, there's enough strong chemistry here between MC and producer to lock Alfredo down as easily one of the best rap projects of 2020. And the Grammy's would certainly agree.

5. Descendants of Cain by Ka

One of the genre's true master writers, Ka albums feel like audio literature placed over hard-nosed rap beats. Many rappers view themselves as true artists, but few can say they are capable of weaving the type of rhyme poetry that Ka seems to wield with casual ease. The truth is that it's not easy, we just aren't around to witness the care and editing that goes into Ka's work. Featuring too many stirring quotes to single out (and let us not forget an incredible surprise verse from fellow Metal Clergy-man, Roc Marcinao), Decendants of Cain is yet another impressive addition to Ka's catalogue, doing more to capture the paradoxical surroundings of environments that are equal parts harsh and loving - and often doing so through religious metaphors - than many MCs can do in a year. His lyrical paintings of the world may be bleak, but they are not without hope.

4. As God Intended by Che Noir & Apollo Brown

Apollo Brown has been one of the most revered - albeit not loudly proclaimed - underground hip-hop producers of the past decade. He has joined forces with many talented MCs to drop full partner projects, but perhaps none as under-the-radar as Buffalo's Che Noir. But what Che Noir lacked in household name status heading into 2020, she more than makes up for with conviction, writing ability, and the skills of an elite MC. The result of this collaboration is a beautiful, personal, at times painful, and at times just straight badass album, and one that deserves recognition from top rap circles. In my opinion, this is the greatest production work of Apollo Brown's career thus far, and it's hard to say where it will rank for Che Noir since she seems to be a fresh talent that is very much still on the rise - but as of right now, you have to call her one of the best in the biz today.

3. Pray for Paris by Westside Gunn

Westside Gunn is one of the masters of the volume game. That's not to say he - or anyone in camp Griselda - sacrifice quality over quantity, but it's safe to say that you know what you're gonna get with a Westside Gunn album. Welp, WSG rewrote the script with this one. What began as an art-inspired passion project between album releases ended up being the overall strongest Griselda project of 2020, and one of the year's most fascinating rap albums. Since his highly regarded Supreme Blientele album, Gunn has gradually been pulling his own lyrical content out of the spotlight, opting to play cook and curator, throwing a mixture of in-house producers and rappers in a pot with outside talent, to mirror the ambiance of a dark, gritty rap fashion show. His projects are less statements of content, than they are audio "scenes" that the listener is invited into, as if they’re Basquiat level exhibitions quantum-leaping forward in time to now live amongst a hungry, thriving rap scene in upstate New York. That's not to say that PFP isn't a lyrical feast as well, with everyone from Tyler, The Creator to Joey Bada$$ to Wale to professional dancer Cartier William having their turn in the spotlight. All thanks to Westside Gunn, the rare MC that enjoys being the host of his own party more than being the center of attention at one.

2. A Written Testimony by Jay Electronica (featuring JAY-Z)

While some are waving the Act II flag as Jay Electronica's "real" debut album, I am less interested in a cool collection of mostly-finished old songs, and much more interested in a polished,  brilliantly produced project with (again, mostly) new verses from both Electronica and JAY-Z. It's easily the shortest selection on this list, but I feel like the quality of each individual song makes up for the brevity. I couldn't care less whether anyone thinks this is more of a duo-album or a solo piece, because the themes are certainly coming from Electronica's wheel house, and the fact that Hov was able to tweak his content to meet him there, is one of the things that makes AWT so special to me. 

1. The Price of Tea in China (Deluxe) by Boldy James and The Alchemist

No, it doesn’t represent a seismic shift in the culture, and no it’s not *the album* that we heard blasting out of everyone’s (or anyone’s) car speakers this year, but when it came to sheer execution, and mastery over the style of music they were aiming to make, there just simply wasn’t one flaw in Boldy James and The Alchemist’s The Price of Tea in China. From the distinctly moody production, to the guest verses, to the steady hand of a wizened veteran of the street life, intent on sharing unfiltered tales of his underworld without any additional bells or whistles, it all clicks so well that I can’t picture taking the project out of my rotation. Uncle Al went deeeeeeep into his bag with this one, and Boldy seems to have returned from the industry grave to reach the highest level of recognition of his career. In a year stuffed with a plethora of high quality examples of every flavor of rap music imaginable, The Price of Tea in China is the ideal pick for album of the year, because it’s prestige is built upon it’s ability to simply be what it wanted to be without turning an ear to trends or reaching for broader recognition. TPOTIC’s broader recognition is made possible due to Boldy & Al’s artistic commitment to just making the type of music that a MC from Detroit and a legendary underground producer from Los Angeles love to make, and for that we should be very grateful.
