MOST INFLUENTIAL ALBUM

MY BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED | KANYE WEST

Hands down, my favorite album is My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye West. It was one of the first albums I came across that made me want to press play on Track 1 and just let it play all the way through without stopping. The production pushed boundaries and the storytelling was so raw, and those two things made it unforgettable for me.
