Would you look at this, folks! The Weeknd has decided to drop a six track project tonight called “My Dear Melachony” as an early birthday gift for me (My Birthday is Saturday)! I’m honored, I’m appalled, and I’m bit choked up (But I actually think it’s these Flamin Cheetos that I’m currently eating thats got me choked up).

Ok, all jokes aside, I think the main reason we  were granted this project was because The Weeknd wanted to remind the people just how much of a staple he can be when it comes to soulful R&B music. Rumor has it, this album was inspired by his earlier projects, which means us as listeners should expect a whole lot of sappiness. Ladies and gentlemen, get your ice cream tubs and Kleenexs out.

Milo Case – Pillow Talking Weather (Album Review)

It’s fairly obvious that music was in Milo Case’s future from the start. Named after famous Jazzman, Miles Davis, the Richmond, VA product has paved the way for innovative rap music by blending in a myriad of urban sounds together that, quite frankly, other artists are scared to blend. In his newest full length effort, Miles looks to dabble in the R&B genre for about 13 and a half songs, creating this sensual masterpiece that isn’t afraid to push boundaries when it comes to how young studs view romance.

ChrisdaCEO is one successful dude. At the age of 20, he is already the CEO of DReaM TeaM and the Co-Founder of D.B.G Records. At this point, ChrisdaCEO’s business acumen demands all of our respect. In “Legacy II,” the Ohio native looks to impress us with his music, delivering this 12 track gem that has him dabbling in a myriad of genres. I look forward to the project, and anticipate being blown away with ChrisdaCEO’s versatility.

Lucius P. Thundercat – Black History Legend (Album Review)

It is clear that Lucius P. Thundercat believes in his people, dedicating this 10 track project titled “Black History Legend” to our community. I’m not mad at it either, because with all the f**kery going on in this world these days, we may need a hero for our people that is as gallant as Lucius is. (more…)

XXXTENTACION – ? (Album Review)

ironically, XXXTENTACION’s album has several question marks associated with it: will X rap on it? will he further elaborate on his road through depression? will he address his rap critics? these are only a few of the questions that need an answer from me, and since it’s X we’re talking about here, i do expect some bizarre ass answers.

this album features joey bada$$, pnb rock, and travis barker. this review features a few capitalized letters and lots of “…’s”

Wale – It’s Complicated EP (Review)

 

Anyone else in favor of Wale making the full transition to rap crooner? I mean seriously, The DMV native has been dropping more relationship knowledge than the love guru himself lately, putting dudes on game to how the anatomy of a woman’s mind works. In his newest tape, “It’s Complicated,” he gives us four more tracks that aim to teach us the ins and outs of how to deal with a relationship when you enter that mature stage of your life. (more…)
