My Top 100 Songs of 2021
Though 2021 has just concluded, it is never to late for the end of year lists. I will be kicking mine off with my Top 100 songs of the year. Some honorable mentions include LAW OF AVERAGES by Vince Staples, 16 by Baby Keem, and Fly As Me by Silk Sonic. Those among many others contributed to the great year we had for music, but were not among my top 100 despite my love for them.
