3. Lil Baby – WHAM (69%)
Lil Baby’s WHAM has its moments, but it’s clear he still needs to tweak his style to align with today’s sound. The emotional depth in tracks like “I Promise” and “So Sorry” showcases his potential, but too many songs on the album fall into predictable trap clichés. When he dials back on the mumbling and forces less, Lil Baby shines, but a lot of the tracks feel forgettable and recycled. Featuring artists like 21 Savage and GloRilla brought some life, but Lil Baby’s best future may lie in focusing on the more introspective, sharp flow tracks.
2. wolfacejoeyy – cupid (84%)
wolfacejoeyy’s latest album is an impressive showcase of his vocal talent and versatility. With a unique blend of influences from Cash Cobain, Drake, Bryson Tiller, and PARTYNEXTDOOR, his ability to adapt while keeping his sound fresh is undeniable. Lyrically, his nostalgic lines hit with charm, and his vocal range sets him apart from his peers. The album reveals his immense potential, and it’s clear he’s on track to carve out his own lane in music.
1. Bad Bunny – DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS (87%)
Bad Bunny’s latest album, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS (“I should’ve taken more photos”), celebrates his Puerto Rican heritage through rich Caribbean sounds, blending traditional instruments with modern beats.
