This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight is a bit different, in that I introduce a new list to the show's rotation -- my discoveries of the previous year. I listened to a lot in 2024, and some of it was released prior to 2024; I want to highlight those discoveries. Bit more diverse, in terms of genres, than usual on the show, but when you're mainly a hip hop head, new discoveries can tend to pop up from other realms.

Also doing slowed + reverb music now lol

To those of you looking for the slowed + reverb version of "Benji the Dog" by Mac Miller (RIP), it was copyright claimed after 15,000 plays. If you're desperate for the mp3, dm me here and we can work something out.
