Electric Dusk

To me, this was the album that placed Leon Thomas III in the running of King of R&B. Starts off sweltering with Slow Down, then lets the guitar light flames in X-Rated and Blue Hundreds. Great features: label boss Ty Dolla $ign, crowned Victoria Monét, and Benny the Butcher (in one of the 16 bars Griselda rapper's ever spat.) Slotted towards the back is one of the best love songs of that year in Treasure in the Hills.
