We’re about two weeks away until 2016. So far, music publications have shared their year-end lists, and it’s a mixed bag of opinions and tastes. Here is ours picks for Best Songs and Best Albums if you missed them.

While it’s cool to read a professional’s take on music in 2015, sometimes hearing an artist’s favorite picks of the year gives you a different perspective. Case in point: Earl Sweatshirt.

Earl went on Twitter to share what he considers the “greatest album of the year.” He says it's Ka’s Days With Dr. Yen Lo. Here’s his reasoning:

IMA LET YOU FINISH BUT DR YEN LO WAS THE GREATEST ALBUM OF THIS YEAR NO QUESTIONS ASKED IF YOU DON'T KNOW NOW YOU KNOW
REAL TALK, I HAVE NO PROBLEM ADMITTING THAT @BrownsvilleKa IS THE BEST RAPPER. HIS ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND OVERALL SKILL LEVEL IS UNCANNY
I DON'T HAVE THE PATIENCE TO SIT ON THIS WEBSITE AND EXPLAIN TO STUPID PEOPLE WHY KA IS THE BEST, IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THATS YOUR BAD

The feeling is mutual. The Brownsville spitter responded by letting Earl know his pen game is A1.

Thank you @earlxsweat that means a lot coming from you. I'm honored brother. I think you're one of the great writers of this generation.
@BrownsvilleKa its all reciprocated tenfold. soon 2 win!
