This month there was a tremendous amount of albums released. Many can make the argument that this month was the best month for music in awhile, certainly this year. With a variety of different artist releasing music; from Mac Miller to Bon Iver, September was a month to remember for music. With that being said here is the best music released in September:


Mac Miller, "The Divine Feminine"

Overall Grade: A+

Almost a year to the day since his 2015 studio album, GO:OD AM, Mac is back with a brand record titled, The Divine Feminine. The Divine Feminine is essentially a very concise album consisting of 10 tracks that all center around the consistent theme of love. Mac really opens up on The Divine Feminine by showing a more compassionate side and it easily his best work yet.


Isaiah Rashad, "The Sun's Tirade"

Isaiah Rashad, "The Sun's Tirade"

Overall Grade: A

Isaiah Rashad's debut studio album entitled,The Sun's Tirade, is a journey that is fueled by a cycle consisting of self-discovery and self-hatred. Rashad proudly wears his anxieties on his sleeves and is brutally honest and open throughout the duration of the album, a record charged by substance abuse and sorrowness. Although both the subjects and sounds are heavy throughout the album, Rashad effortlessly switches it up on slower jazz-based tracks like "Stuck in the Mud" and "Find a Topic" to more uptempo tracks like "Park", "Tity and Dolla", and the lead single "Free Lunch".


Travis Scott, "Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight"

Overall grade: B+

Coming off his debut album, Rodeo in 2015, Travis Scott wasted no time with the release of his sophomore album, Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight. Led by the hit single, "Pick Up The Phone" and a guest-heavy tracklist, Travis Scott amplifies his energetic lifestyle on each track, picking up where he left off on tracks like "Antidote".


Danny Brown, "Atrocity Exhibition"

Bon Iver, "22, A Million"

Regina Spektor, "Remember Us to Life"

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
