Don’t believe our lineup is perfect? The Needle Drop host, Anthony Fantano, has spent over a decade reviewing songs and albums to his 2.5 million followers. Take a peek at Fantano’s reviews of George Clanton and Armand Hammer. 

The "Vaporwave David Bowie" released the eccentric album Oh I Rap Ya earlier this year. Fantano praises Clanton’s vocals being the star of the show combined with the colorful syntho-walls he builds. The album received an 8 out of 10.

Fantano held high praise for experimental rap-duo Armand Hammer’s We Buy Diabetic Test Strips. The album left Fantano feeling like “he was floating out in zero gravity space,” and gave the album an astonishing 9 out of 10. One half of Armand Hammer, Billy Woods, released another album this year with Kenny Segal titled Maps. Fantano gave Maps an 8 out of 10 overall. Both albums are on Fontana's Loved List of 2023.
