Albums of 2021

While 2020 was a weird and (mostly) terrible year, 2021 was also a weird and… fast year? It may have felt like a quick 365 days but we still had a plethora of albums released; some from major artists and some almost out of nowhere. So as the calendar closes we get together staff and associates to all give our favorite Albums of 2021. – B-Easy
