    Mac's first posthumous album will drop next week, the 17th of January.

    The statement below was posted by his family on his instagram.

    The theory that he was working on Circles has been around since he passed and I'm so happy it's getting its release. And what a fantastic statement from his family, they've not milked his death one bit, nor let a label do it. Compare that to how Xxxtentacion's family have acted since his, it's refreshing to see.

    Theres been a few songs leaked, that are supposedly from Circles and they've been incredible songs. Cannot wait to hear this.

    Circles is amazing.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,489 ✭✭✭VW 1


    Unbelievable alright, some departure from his other work, very like his Spotify sessions. Was hoping he’d spit hard on one track, but at the same time I wouldn’t change it.

    I’m not sure it fits into hip hop, more like Larry lovestein’s “you” mixed with indie folk.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,646 ✭✭✭Whatsisname


    Circles is beautiful. Everything I could have hoped for. I absolutely adore the direction he was going in and I'll forever be sad he didn't get to see his potential through. An absolutely ridiculously talented musician.

    Been really digging Madlib and Oh No's 'The Professionals' project. Some great beats/samples again by the mighty Madlib

    Roddy Rich's album is great.

    2020's breakout star.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,489 ✭✭✭VW 1


    About halfway through that Roddy album having never listened to a minute of him before. Very easy to listen to, hints of Kendrick in some of his songs with jazzy production and rhyming schemes, but then other songs more like Wayne with how he puts patterns together and flows. Will give this a few spins for sure.

    New Royce album today, it's pretty good so far, on my first listen about half way through.
    When I heard he was producing it all, I was worried, I though there would be a similar sound throughout, but that is not the case at all.
    The beats are varied and flow together lovely. Some nice appearances so far as well.

    Is Trigger on this album or was "Watch Were Ya Walk" just a single for Trigger to release?

    It is generally a pretty poor list alright, but I guess, if its based on a public vote, then you're going to get skewed by whats popular rather than whats great.

    A few in there are very much the kind of albums that a teenager would vote for as "classic" or obscure artists, when they're far from it
