Real talk, I was just going through some old playlists and the vibe back in 2017/18 for the UK wave scene was just different. Remember when everyone was first experimenting with those melodic trap beats and the heavy auto-tune? It felt so fresh compared to the drill that was taking over. Now it's everywhere, but do you guys think the sound has peaked or is it still evolving into something better? I feel like those early tapes had a certain hunger that's hard to find now. What’s your favorite "classic" melodic tape from that time?
