What’s your favorite album of 2011?
Carter IV. Wayne has always been one of my favorite rappers for sure. There was a lot of anticipation with him coming out of jail. That album has a lot of great beats, and has a lot of energy. The more you listen to it, the better it gets. I always have a lot of Wayne on my playlists.
