IGOR – Tyler the Creator
Tyler’s recent albums have flown under my radar for some reason – maybe because I am not the biggest fan of his voice – but regardless of reason, I’ve never gotten around to listening to them. I have always respected him as a musician, as he has become one of the best rapper-producers currently making Continue reading

And After That, We Didn’t Talk – Goldlink
This album was pretty good and has some GoldLink cuts that are quite enjoyable once you move past the Crew phase (which is basically a Brent made song anyways). He has a great voice – but a few things work against him. One, I saw a tweet that you can basically get this type of Continue reading

No Mountains in Manhattan – Wiki
Wiki is one of the more unique rappers that you will find, and not because he is a Puerto Rican Jew. However that certainly plays a role. His flow is weird, his voice is strange, and he is a bit of an acquired taste to many, however so was Chance during Acid Rap. That being Continue reading

The Score – Fugees
Okay. If you’re reading this, don’t get mad. It’s good. It’s the fugees, they’re great. there are some fucking classic songs on this. BUT I was kind of underwhelmed. My expectations for this were high as fuck. Miseducation is one of the best albums ever, and I love what I’ve heard from Wyclef. But I Continue reading

TA13OO – Denzel Curry
You gotta be fired the fuck up for this one aside from Black Balloons. Denzel comes with a shit ton of energy. A shit ton. This album got him on the map and I completely understand why – it’s good, it came at the right time (also came in the stacked 2016) and appealed to Continue reading

The Melodic Blue – Baby Keem
Mr. Keem. I am a fan. But this shit is long as fuck. I swear I powered through parts of this album. My friend told me that Baby Keem can be annoying. Yes he can. And not because he sucks, and not because of his voice, and not even really because of his music. There Continue reading

$oul $old $eparately – Freddie Gibbs
Freddie Gibbs latest release is pretty much what you’d expect from Freddie. There are some hard songs, some hilarious lines, and overall some good raps. This album is nothing spectacular and for me it will be hard for Freddie to beat his releases with Madlib and with Alchemist. It’s not over the top good, but Continue reading

Louie – Kenny Beats
Kenny Beats first solo LP Louie flows beautifully. There are honestly not many words that an articulate the quality of this album. It’s undeniably and objectively great. The vibe of the album is mostly flowing through smooth instrumentals, with a spare feature here and there (loved JPEGMAFIA’s on Still), along with many vocal chops that Continue reading

Denzel Curry – ZUU
Denzel Curry’s 2018 ZUU comes following the well received TA13OO, a “hardcore rap” (although fuck that term) album which is/was often regarded as the best Denzel project before maybe his most recent album. ZUU has a very similar aggressive feel but maybe toned down a bit, as it almost feels like Denzel was starting to Continue reading

2000 – Joey Badass
2000 by Joey Badass is the NY based artist’s 5th project, or 6th if you count the Flatbush Zombies collab, however somewhat serves as a follow up to the well renowned 1999, an album that burst him onto the radar of up and coming rappers, still holds up, and is especially impressive given that Joey Continue reading
