From The Time Traveler DJ G. Wiz:

I don't have to be biased to say, my favorite Hip Hop album of 2020 is Public Enemy's When The Grid Goes Down. It fits my level of consciousness!

On the Traveling at the Speed of Sound side of things, I was taken away by the compassion of St.Louis's own Toya and her double release "Harder to love" & "Work on me" produced by Joe Capo. Undecided on which one I liked best, so I just played them both!
