Couldn't fit the whole title, but hit me up with some of your favorite albums of 2016. I was super busy with finishing my senior year of college that I feel way behind. I didn't buy To Pimp A Butterfly, 2014 Forest Hills Drive and Tetsuo & Youth until this year. And I JUST listened to Coloring Book this past weekend.

I have a little bit of time on my hands so I want to know what music I've missed out on recently. I'm pretty open to what I listen to but my favorite genres are Hip Hop, R&B, Jazz, Alternative Rock & Electronic.

Preferably nothing that's available only on streaming. The only streaming service I use is Spotify and even that I use like once every two weeks or so. I listen to my music all the time on my computer, on the way to work or on my phone so please recommend me something that I can buy and download off of iTunes, Band Camp, or wherever so that I can actually "own" the music.

I haven't got many new albums this year either. Don't know if it fits your taste, but I recently got the new album by La Femme called Mystere, which I think is excellent.

I think all other new albums I bought this year were metal so you might not be interested, but my favorite of them was Vektor - Terminal Redux.
