Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino is one of the most creative minds the world has ever seen, not only has he been a wildly successful artist, but he has been a wildly successful actor, as well as a wildly successful filmmaker/producer. Today, however, we’re going to go back in time; a time where Donald Glover was just scratching the surface on the potential he would one day reach. Welcome to The Record Shop, and welcome to Because the Internet. Intro: Flight of the Navigator by Childish Gambino

It’s crazy to see things with hindsight; knowing what we know now, the fact that Swimming by Mac Miller exists at all is truly incredible. The perfect encapsulation of his career, released just a month before he passed away. With songs such as Come Back to Earth, 2009, and So It Goes, it seemed as if Mac was aware of his fate, only this time, was fully ready to go. Though we may never get a new Mac Miller album after 2020’s Circles, the quality and excellency of the most important album of the 2010’s makes up for it. Rest in peace, Mac Miller. Most Dope, that’s forever.

Intro song: Waves by Joey Bada$$. The cold world that we live in is full of strife and struggles. Sometimes, even though you try your hardest, you are going to fail. But no matter what, just try a little bit harder. If you're going through hell, keep going. Not everyday is good; but there is something good every day. You only truely fail when you stop trying. Being able to inspire an inspire a whole new generation with your message and being able to share that platform with others to leave your mark on history on your debut album is a powerful feeling, and on todays episode, Joey Bada$$ really shows us the power of the indomitable human spirit in his debut album, 1999. Never give up folks.

Love is the best thing we do, but it is never easy. Love is complicated, and confusing, and painful. Even when we believe there is a glimmer of hope, the world can crush it. Now, is it possible to encapsulate a feeling like that within a time period of less than 40 minutes? Tyler, the Creator certainly thinks so, so join us, as we discuss Tyler’s critically acclaimed 2019 album, IGOR. Thank you.

While looking over the success you created, you tend to remember the issues and trials throughout your life, venting out the scars that came. But as you remember your days of old, you enjoy the successes and the riches upon you. Join us, as we cover Baby Keem’s album, “The Melodic Blue.”

If you had to ask me a question, because i like how you look when you ask questions, i think an appropriate one would be “who is an artist who people should be paying attention to?” Well, for that i would say dijon, so join us as we review dijons debut studio album absolutely. You wont want to be missing out.

First things first, thank you to all our listeners out there. No matter where you are, we all appreciate you. Feelings for days past, while nice, are sometimes over-relied on. Some people, sadly, only know of happiness from their past, and stick with it instead of making new memories themselves. In order to truly be happy, you have to understand how to balance both new memories and old, and in J-Cole’s critically acclaimed 2014 Forest Hills Drive album, he offers a glance at how he does it. So join us today, as we reminisce and remember those simpler days.

Music, like the world, varies between both artist, and genre. Sadly, however, some music is left unexplored simply due to what seemingly isn’t “your type of music.” Well today, lets give a new genre a try as we listen to Pink Floyds “The Dark Side of the Moon.”

Have you ever loved? Would you do it again? Join us in the (official) debut of our social media manager Anna as we discuss Joji’s 2020 album “Nectar.”

The 80’s J-pop album by Anri. The album gives off major disco and overall summer vibes, therefore a very smart listen for those who just want to cruise. We hope you enjoy!
