Amine
13 Months Of Sunshine (black)
Edition on BLACK VINYL. The title of Aminé's first solo album since 2020's 'Limbo', 2025's '13 Months Of Sunshine', is more than just a slogan. Ethiopia's marketing campaigns of the '60s and '70s used the phrase to entice Western visitors to the country, but for the Portland-born rapper raised by an Eritrean father and an Ethiopian mother, it holds deeper meaning. '13 Months Of Sunshine', a phrase adorned on posters in homes of his aunts and uncles, cousins, and family friends, became something more, a declaration of shifting perspectives and a reinvigorating jolt to one of raps most celebrated discographies. He's returned with a new offering, featuring artists as varied as 454, Toro y Moi and Waxahatchee, that will go down as one of the most exiting rap releases of 2025.
