I always say that lower level rappers (at least at a sales wise level), should drop more projects at the top of the year. No disrespect to Ty Dolla $ign or The Alchemist & Evidence (aka Step Brothers), but they sold around 5,000 – 6,000 copies and almost made it into the Top 50. And since I haven’t really listened to either new projects from these artists, that’s all I got to say for today. Fuck The Grammys too.
