Hey Young World,

This is the September 2024 edition of 1520’s Record Report, our series of monthly articles in which we recommend things we’re currently into.

We’ve picked the name Record Report in honor of Hip Hop magazine The Source, which’s album review section went under that name and, when we were growing up, told us what was worth copping and what wasn’t. In our own small way, we hope to do the same.

2004 ‘til Infinity

This year, every edition of 1520’s Record Report will include a recommendation of an album, a movie or a video game that came out 20 years ago, in 2004, a year that is very close to our hearts and whose pop culture fundamentally shaped who we (and many other Millennials) are today.

Curse - Unzerstörbarer Sommer (Album)

Curse, Germany’s answer to Common, is back after more than 6 years. He’s still as good as ever.

Gilmore Girls (TV Series)

Fall has arrived, which means it’s time to binge a cozy classic. This year, we have picked Gilmore Girls. Still holds up.

2004 ‘TIL INFINITY: Fabolous - Breath (Song)

One of the greatest rap songs of all time. ‘Nuff said.

One Love,

Marius | 1520
