The 2025 late pass awards

If you a loko ass reader I'ma call you with that Shaq, a backpack ass reader I'ma talk to you about Y@k, a Bay ass reader I'ma call you about The Pack, came up on Rap music in 1985 and I never, ever came back. Plz believe it's time for my annual list of old songs I've discovered this year which became new favourites. Yeah, I'm late to all these tracks, but so what? Every song in this post will rock yah like the Casbah. Got twenty, that's plenty, yet I still want more. Also kinda fonda Kylie singles from 1994.
