(Award thread)⬇️
For our #SHEESHmidyearawards Song of the year: Lil Baby’s “The Bigger Picture.”

A heartfelt and raw reaction to the murder of George Floyd and the protests following, a generally apolitical artist gives an incredible performance, speaking to the masses.

For our #SHEESHmidyearawards verse of the year: Killer Mike on “Walking in the Snow” (RTJ4).

Mike dives deeply into the roots of American systemic racism, detailing the causes not necessarily credited with complete devastation of black communities.

For our #SHEESHmidyearawards Artist of the Year: The Weeknd

The Weeknd stole the beginning of 2020. The release of ‘After Hours’ with singles “Blinding Lights” and “Heartless” made waves in the mainstream, notably taking over Tiktok. Can’t wait to see what’s next!

For our #SHEESHmidyearawards Album of the Year: Mac Miller’s ‘Circles’

The posthumous release from an emotional artist brought our community together. A cohesive, gut wrenching show of pure talent makes one think: we lost a true artist. Rest in power, Mac✊❤️
