Drake is having a moment on Yow Yow! this month, but not-so-secretly we’ve been fans of his since the Degrassi days. He’s probably the only rapper in the industry right now who I never get tired of. I’m very much looking forward to his album dropping on Tuesday and can’t wait to hear what everyone thinks of it.
Also Majid Jordan, where did you come from? Swoon. We love you. Keep doing you.

It’s almost my favorite time of the year! Well, besides Christmas of course. I am very much looking forward to looking back on my entire 2011 and seeing Yow Yow’s annual recap, posting my 50 favorite songs, sharing with you recap posts from my favorite blogs and getting a closer look at what is to come in 2012. It’s only December 12th, but it has already started. NPR, Urban Outfitters and Seattle’s very own Sub Pop have posted their favorite albums and artists for the year so here they are!
See if your favorites made the cut! If they did, you’re probably right on point. If they didn’t…where have you been all year?
Updated:
Don’t worry my list will be coming shortly, I’m just going to let my music favorites marinate a little bit longer.
