First off, RIP Steve Albini. Isn't it wild that that only happened last month? Time isn't real. What IS real is ph5 podcast, and we've got a hot and steamin' brand new episode ready to go for you. Sorry for the wait - I've been busy. I made up for lost time by talking for way too long about things that don't really matter. I'm sure you're used to that at this point. May 2024 was a particularly exceptional month for hip hop, and it was nice to spend some time talking about music that wasn't purely functioning to destroy my ears and brain. There were still a lot of that too, let's be real. Albums discussed below!
Chief Keef - Almighty So 2
Gatecreeper - Dark Superstition
Knocked Loose - You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To
Mach-Hommy - #RichAxxHaitian
Pallbearer - Mind Burns Alive
Shellac - To All Trains
Thou - Umbilical
Vince Staples - Dark Times
