Bigger Than Both Of Us is a nice album. Rich Girl is the track that you probably know if to have no idea who the fuck Hall & Oates are, but I would encourage any listener of this album to dive deeper into it – there is some groovy shit on here! Way groovier than

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

Rema’s Rave & Roses is a god damn good Dancehall album. There is almost not too much to say. It’s a good fucking dancehall album. It has saxophone in some. He has a good voice. The simplicity of this review is certainly not a diss towards the artist or album – it’s meant to be

The 2006 compilation from legendary reggae artist Dennis Brown is a bit of a cheat in terms of new albums for obvious reasons, but it’s all new songs, so who gives a fuck. Dennis Brown is up there with greatest reggae artists of all time in my relatively uneducated reggae opinion, however I think even

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

Five Easy Hot Dogs is not the typical Mac Demarco release as this is a full instrumental album (no it was not the intention to have back to back instrumental releases in the list), however it was still enjoyable. The album is not the most thrilling thing in the world and, while not a boring

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

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

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
