47 Albums That Made 2019 Seem Almost Bearable

"This might be the most fun album I listened to this year. Rap duo Olu (aka Johnny Venus) and WowGr8 (aka Doctur Dot) made an LP of breadth, depth, and bona fide bangers that pays homage to their native Atlanta. They whimsically capture the magic and culture of the city through diverse sounds, eclectic cadences, and dazzling beats. Although the album came out in September, the songs 'Up,' 'Bank,' and 'Tequila' quickly made the cut on my Top Songs of 2019 list on Spotify, and they 'keep, keep, keep getting momentum.'" — Brea Cubit, celebrity and entertainment assistant editor
