We’re down to the last couple weeks of the year, and I don’t see anything on the horizon that’s gonna blow me away (even if Yeezy does decide to drop his new album before the new year, I probably won’t care). This was a tough year for ranking songs, with no real clear number one. The difference between my top 1-5 songs is negligible. The list is a very of-the-moment kind of thing, with some fluidity from top to bottom as to which I prefer at any given time. There is one song that isn’t available on Spotify so I didn’t include it here: “Loveletting” by Sons Of An Illustrious Father. Go find it if you can-totally worth a quick look. Hope you enjoy! Looking forward to another great year in 2015!
