This year, I decided to move from Deezer.
For a bit of context...
I've been using Deezer since mid 2019 and I have a very huge amount of music from then on my Deezer account.
I loved the music quality, the sound was beautiful. Yet the only problem was that the price for the subscription was insane in my country, so I've been using the hacked version.
Yet, the problem with hacked subscription apps was they always had something you lost in return for their freeness.
I lost my access to #MyDeezerYear, some songs had no lyrics and there were multiple other losses which subtly annoyed and frustrated me.
Suddenly, the app stopped cause of an update and yep, I upped and left.
This happened January 3rd though and so after 5 years, I'm now in my YouTube music arc.
YouTube music is literally the MP3 version of YouTube and at such it has one of/possibly the largest audio library of all the music apps and it's one of the earliest to get updates and some pristine releases too.
In fact, my three tunes today are part of these unique releases.
Jcole is literally the buzzing guy in the hip-hop world as the countdown continues for his biggest and probably last project on February 6th.
I've been excited about it too and because of that, since it's initial announcement, I've been re-listening to all his albums.
2014 Forest Hill Drive is the 3rd studio album of Jcole and it's one that can be argued that all its songs are bangers, all beautiful and all tell a story.
The 2014 Forest Hill Drive 10th anniversary version had 8 more songs that weren't originally chosen to be on the album and we're invited to a whole deeper perspective of the world on the streets of Fayetteville, North Carolina.
Judgement Day
This song is one that really caught my attention because of how real and raw the lyrics hit us.
Cole tells the story of an unfortunate man who fell in love with a woman dishing out misfortune.
He gets a taste and is forced to get a mouthful, filled with rage and with nothing left, he decides to go and claim their lives in retribution, he takes the choice in his arms, he becomes the judge, the juror and the prosecutor.
Winter Wonderland
This song actually takes the theme of the initial album and is my best song of the 8 who didn't make it.
In this song, Cole talks about his life in Fayetteville, talking about how kids usually try to imitate the gangsters thinking that's the best way out. How Innocent children could lose their lives in these imitations and how he always prayed for something better .
Keep Heaven Dancing
This one is the next song after Winter Wonderland and it's the same theme but more violently and more raw.
What I like most about this song though is the simple beat and the beautiful chorus that's like a verse of its own.
It's a beautiful song and not much I can say about it, just listen.
These are my picks for 
But new year, new tunes (as they say it in my head ¯\(ツ)/¯ ) so we have these.
What do you guys think?
