5 Must Have Albums for Some Solid Music

Here's a mix of a few CDs that I have not been able to stop listening to, whether they are old or new, there is some variety in here that hopefully all of you will enjoy! Also, comment if you have any songs or artists that you think people should give a listen to!


1. Kid Cudi- Indicud: Great for studying and relaxing. Has an almost hypnotic beat that you can easily fade in and out to as some good background music. Even has some techno mixed in there to.
                Recommended Tracks:
                King Wizard
                Beez
                New York City Rage Fest
2. Kendrick Lamar- Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City: Has a good amount of some smooth beats, but with some of the fast paced raps from Kendrick. This is nice to work out to and walking around campus just singing along to.
                Recommended Tracks:
                Poetic Justice
                m.A.A.d. city
                Swimming Pools
3. Justin Timberlake- The 20/20 Experience: This album is filled with a bunch of quality, long songs that is great to study to or if you are just the kind of person that zones out for a few minutes at a time, these songs feel like they go on forever, but in a good way! Trust me you’ll enjoy it.
                Recommended Tracks:
                Suit and Tie
                That Girl
                Let the Groove Get In
4. The Dirty Heads- Any Port In A Storm- Perfect relaxing music, especially if you’re in a group. These guys have a mellow beat (different methods as Cudi obviously, but the same effect) and they actually make some catchy songs too. Definitely check these guys out!
                Recommended Tracks:
                Insomnia
                Chelsea
                I Got No Time


5. Frank Ocean- Channel Orange: This is some amazing R&B music, a genre I’m not normally into, but this was a huge exception. Frank Ocean being openly gay and also affiliated with Tyler the Creator definitely gives him a unique product when he made this, but if you haven’t explored R&B too much, I would for sure check him out.
                Recommended Tracks:
                Thinkin About You
                Pilot Jones
                Pink Matter
