Buff1, Ghosting II
Ypsilanti hip-hop artist Jamall Bufford has had a creatively productive 2020. In addition to the Athletic Mic League reuniting for an album and him executive producing the Formula 734 project, Bufford cut a follow-up to his 2010 album.

The debut album by this talented Ypsi rapper-singer whose influences include Drake and Big Sean.

Kawsaki, "Remote Control"
The first single from this former Ann Arbor-ite and current Detroiter's imminent new vaporwave album, Designing the Future.
