Bookending strikes again with Lamar and U2 scratching each other's backs.
Monáe's Dirty Computer is an early contender for one of the best albums of 2018. As much as I personally liked "Yoga," I was worried it was indicative of a crossover to a pop routine. Happy to see another creatively-ambitious album join her discography.
I admit I may be missing the boat on Run The Jewels, but I loved and still love Killer Mike's 2012 R.A.P. Music (produced by El-P). El-P's Fantastic Damage has a firm place on my imaginary "greatest albums of all time" list, but I was pleased to see him depart from his industrial dystopia sound (heard here on his remix of Nine Inch Nails' "Only" and across much of the Definitive Jux catalog) to a more explosive, rhythm-oriented production style.
