So why are you in this thread?
...........you can listen to an album without caring about the artist's career...you do realize that, right?
idgaf about Chance the Rapper's career, but i listened to his album last month. Same idea here. You listen to see if it's good or not. If it's not, you post and keep it moving.
idgaf about Jay Electronica's career, but i listened to his albums he added to streaming today and yesterday.
You don't need to have a vested interest in an artist's career to listen to an album
