  New-To-Me Albums I Loved in 2026

  Salty P. Slug

  Certified Album of the Year for me right here, unless something crazy happens.

  This is the best hyper-rap record I've heard since the certified STL classic, Cali Cartier Best Dog, released way back in 2018.

  Hearing Toxic and Eyesight back-to-back is one of my favorite musical happenings of the last decade. It is a near-perfect harmony of post-Kanye melodic trap, SoundCloud Gecs-aligned hyperpop, P'ierre Bourne type-beats, and late '90s/early '00s EDM video game soundtracks.

  Dude has the nerdiest fuckin' bars and it's cool as hell. This may be one of the best, most cohesive rage albums of all time. The transitions are top notch. The melodies are beautiful.

  BloodLuxe is gonna be hard to top, but I'm so fucking stoked to see what he does next.

  Choice Trax: Brain Fog, Toxic, Eyesight
