Gorgeous Children – ICE EP. This album was heavily anticipated in the rap underground and it may have even served to surpass the hype I felt for it.

Mans takes a very banging but very overplayed TNGHT track and makes it into something bigger than it ever could have been. The Kanye effect.

Like all my obsessions (see: Chief Keef), my infatuation with the Migos started as a funny joke. Fast forward to the point in time wherein this track dropped and watch me eat my hat while truly respecting their hustle.

2013 was a strange year for the Klan. They played Coachella. They had a huge falling out. Mad twitter beef took place. Key stayed cool the whole year though.
