A whole ‘nother year y’all. 2024 is over.

A huge thank you to those of you who stop by, read these reviews, leave comments and be sending me messages harassing me when I’ve yet to post a review of an album that you know I’mma review. To know that anybody awaits a review of mine is still crazy.

I’m shit at responding to tweets, e-mails and DMs, because I’m always in a state of disbelief that people would go out of their way to try and contact me to tell me...well, anything — in addition to me having the attention span of a goldfish. But I appreciate the messages, the sentiment, the kind words and each and every one of you who has reached out to me to say anything other than ‘YOU PERFUME HATING FA***T’. So, thank you.
