Okay music nerds, time to flex your recommendations. I wanna listen to a new album every time I go on a walk. My request is kind of specific tho: I want music where the lyricism is the star. Can be narrative based or just witty, interesting, political, whimsical...

I also need GOOD DICTION. I am not good at deciphering and thus appreciating lyrics from artists who swallow their consonants and blend the words into eachother! Some examples of artists with excellent diction: Kendrick, Fiona Apple, Rapsody, Anderson Paak, Tierra Wack

I do have time for vocal ambiguities btw, I couldn't tell you what some of my current fave artists are actually singing about, but the shit slaps! But for this I want recommendations for tunes where the lyrics/stories shine through unimpeded. Open to any and all genres too. Go!

Everyone who recommended R. A. P Ferreira's latest album, thank yoooou! Am listening now and just got punched in the jaw by the line 'this beat sounds like a long walk to the dumpster'.

@RovingRoshi if you aren't already familiar I think it would be right up your street.
