Top 20 Albums of 2020 (WIB Rap Radio Special)
I started a tradition back in 2009 when I counted down my favourite albums of the year. Instead of making a Top 10 list, I counted down the Top 9 Albums of 2009. Every year since then, I have been adding one album to the list to keep up with the year. So without further […]
