Aminé, 13 Months of Sunshine
The emcee’s third solo album blends house, hip-hop, and the East African sun to give listeners a deeply personal look at the journeyman rapper’s Eritrean-Ethiopian heritage.

The Mael brothers’ 26th album purrs with sincere longings dedicated to romantic splits, though ultimately remains true to the duo’s idiosyncratic melody and tongue-in-cheek lyricism.
