2018 Projects List

yungyosh.substack.com

First year I ever kept track of projects I enjoyed and tried sorting them. Trying to rank projects doesn’t work for me. Some days I wanna listen to “Die Lit” and others I wanna listen to “Reasonable Doubt.” Maybe the day I rank albums I’ll have “Daytona” at #7 and "Squidtastic” at #20. Could listen to these albums three years later and decide I like “Squidtastic” more. Thoughts and feelings change over time. If I have three different areas to place projects, it gives them a bit more flexibility to climb up and down. They’re not restricted to a number for eternity.

(Obviously this isn’t perfect but wtf is? Besides Tinashe)

There’s no specific order. I threw the project titles into a random list generator.

Even though I’d prefer to save the best for last, I know how humans interact on the internet so if I want y’all to see what I really loved, I gotta put it first.

I’ve had this list sitting in a google doc since December 31st, 2018.

All sample song links go to YouTube (except Mach Hommy)
