So let me tell y'all a "what had happened was" story about this month's "In Heavy Rotation". My "Against the Grain Pick of the Month" was supposed to be Aesop Rock's The Impossible Kid, but it just didn't come together the way that I wanted. It's not that I didn't listen to it or enjoy the album. However, whereas I can listen to most albums and pick out my favorite three songs and a few notables, I couldn't quite do that this time around. I had every intention to listen at least one more time to get a better feel, but I never got around to it because May has been a month for lack of more specific words. Maybe it was just that good that I couldn't limit my "review" to just a few picks, but at any rate, I'd definitely recommend the listen and purchase. Also, the first pick mentioned in this post could've almost been O.T. Genasis' Rhythm & Bricks or Desiigner's Panda mixtapes, but there just weren't enough standout songs on either project other than "Cut It" and "Panda", respectively. Long story short, although there are only four picks instead of five, they all bump. Now that I've explained myself, let's get to the real reasons why you're here...
