Meek Mill – Championships (Album Review)

Sometimes, the best championship celebrations are the ones in which you had to endure a bunch of s**t to get to where you needed to get to. In Meek Mill’s case, he’s practically seen it all up into this point: We’re talking romantic relationships with pop’s elite, jail-time, deadly beefs, and money so tall, all the b*tches wanna fall! This is one of the many reasons I think his new Championships album could end up being one of the most intriguing releases this year. (more…)

Tekashi 6ix9ine – DUMMY BOY (Album Review)

6ix9ine-dummy-boy.jpg

Tekashi 6ix9ine is one of the most outlandish public figures I’ve seen in years.  Unfortunately, because of this, not much praise has been given to him for having a pretty solid record when it comes to charting on the Billboard 100. Now that it looks likely that the rainbow-haired rapper will see some serious jail-time, DUMMY BOY might very well get its chance to receive credit where credit is due, mainly because it won’t have its own maker’s distractions getting in the way of its shine.

Jaden Smith – The Sunset Tapes: A Cool Tape Story (Album Review)

If you’ve been following this site, you know that I am a major fan of Jaden Smith — so much so that I think he’s going to eventually overtake Drake’s spot as the top hip hop artist in the game. In the past few months, all he has done is drop artistic albums and feature on some pretty major rapper’s albums, making quite the impact in both. With “The Sunset Tapes: A Cool Tape Story,” Jaden gets another shot at revolutionizing the game, gifting us with a short body of work that can very well end up classic number two for him.  (more…)

Creed 2: The Album – (Soundtrack Review)

One of my biggest takeaways from 2018 in hip hop is that movie companies actually tried when they put together soundtracks this year. From Superfly to Black Panther, listeners have been gifted with some very good music to accompany a couple of major blockbuster releases. Fittingly, today, Creed 2 ends the year of the soundtrack with a blast.

Tee Grizzley is one of those rappers that gets nothing but respect from his peers. He’s hood authentic, and is always ready to put anyone who doesn’t believe that in their place. In “Still My Moment,” his latest project, he looks to continue his growth in the game while staying true to his quick trigger roots. (more…)

Diggy Simmons has had one of the more interesting careers thus far. He had a really good start, got into a bit of a beef with one of the biggest rappers in the game, and after that, lost some of his steam. In “Lighten Up,” the 23 year old looks to win over fans once again, reminding us how astute his rap skills are while also showing how much he’s grown since his debut album in 2012. (more…)

Lil Peep’s scary tales of drug abuse and heartbreak resonates quite a bit with me, especially now that he’s gone. In the chilling “Come Over When You’re Sober, Pt. 2,” the fallen rapper discusses some of these tales, gifting us with a body of work that is beyond bittersweet. (more…)

Lil Durk – Signed To The Streets 3 (Mixtape Review)

Sometimes getting dropped from a label is the best thing for an artist. This happened to Lil Durk recently, and it seems like it made him a better person/rapper since. In Signed To The Streets 3, the Chicago native does his best to prove his worth to the people that doubted him, getting back to doing the things that got him signed in the first place. (more…)
