My favorite albums right now

Music is my biggest source of inspiration- everything from Beyoncé to Kwadee to Beyonce to Wizkid to yes, even Bobby Raps and Corbin. I was thinking about when to do this post when I saw a list of all the new music coming out this month. While I’m not the biggest fan of Drake, and have only ever accidentally listened to Childish Gambino, I thought I would use this time…
