Kanye’s June Projects From Favorite to Least Favorite. PRODUCTION ONLY

DAYTONA – Hands down, Kanye put the most effort into this project. The hype that lead to Daytona’s release was very well worth it. ‘The Games We Play’ and ‘Infrared’ are the stand out songs for me by far. When listening to all of the projects and then revisiting Daytona, this album is what got […]
