My Favorite Music from 2020

It’s the end of the year, and as always, I return to my role as an extremely amateur music critic to attempt to rank my favorite projects and songs this year. We could describe 2020 as so many different adjectives, but during everything horrible, music was at least for me the one way I got the chance to escape into my mind. I dreamed of these songs, walked outside with a mask jamming to these albums, and got to learn more about some inspiring musicians and artists. This year, I just decided to lump EPs/Mixtapes into my “Projects of the Year” and add a list of “Artists I enjoyed the most this year” even for those who may not have released new music or as much new music this year. I got to explore more underground artists this year, and although some of them haven’t made my lists just from the number of replays I didn’t get to, I’ll add some in the honorable mentions.

Songs of the Year:

I chose to only select one song from an artist for this list, filled with a range of genres, styles, and moods.

15: “Ridin Strikers” — Future
My favorite song that I replay on Future’s best project since DS2

14: “Fkn Around” — Phony Ppl feat. Megan Thee Stallion
A smooth groove that gets you to just want to stand and dance during any hour of the day or night; Meg’s feature gets me excited to hear her…
