Camila Cabello – Camila (Album Review)

Camila_(Official_Album_Cover)_by_Camila_Cabello.png

Breaking off from any musical group has proven to be a very difficult task for any upcoming artist to swallow, but when successful, major things can come of it (Ask Justin Timberlake or Beyonce). While Camila Cabello may not have a household name at this very moment, I think her work ethic, appeal, and phenomenal voice can eventually drive her to super stardom. But like any new artist, you have to prove that you can be successful on your own, which is why this debut album from her is vital for her career moving forward. (more…)

Lil Wayne – Dedication 6 (Mixtape Review)

Merry Christmas everyone! Not only do we get to unwrap gifts today, but we also get to hear Wayne’s ‘Dedication 6’ album for the first time! With Wayne’s ‘Carter 5’ album getting hundreds of delays in the past couple of years, I can see an angry Wayne showing up for this Mixtape, one that will gladly prove his worth to the listeners by slaying some of our favorite instrumentals of 2017. So move over Grinch, we got someone else that’s trying to steal a couple of these rappers christmases.  (more…)

Gucci Mane – El Gato The Human Glacier (Album Review)

Gucci Mane’s 197th project of 2017 might be his most random. ‘El Gato The Human Glacier’ is its bizarre name, and the album artwork looks like it was made on Windows Paint. But think about it — a raw version of Gucci might be the best version of Gucci. While I enjoy the fact that he’s collaborated with some of the best in the music industry for the last two years, I grew up on that Gucci Mane that didn’t give a s—t who he worked with. With that being said, don’t be surprised if I consider this album his best of 2017.  (more…)

Travis Scott & Quavo – Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho (Album Review)

After all the teasing they did on interviews, Travis Scott and Quavo’s ‘Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho’ collaboration album has finally made its way to the masses!

With 2018 being the year of the collaboration albums, I think its pretty ironic that the last one we will get this year features two rappers that pretty much embodied what Hip Hop stood for. For Hip Hop fans, it’s almost like taking a final exam to see how much we’ve learned these last 12 months. Well I suck at exams, so don’t be surprised if I completely bomb this review… (more…)

Noah Archangel & The Band of the Hawk – The Maschine Wars: Songs of Solomon (Album Review)

There is no doubt in my mind that this Band of The Hawk crew has some of the best spitters in the game! I feel like they bring this veteran style to modern day rap music that cannot be ignored at all. Well this time around, the group gives us an album full of hot instrumentals, reminding us how important the production is to what they do as a whole.  (more…)

N.E.R.D. – No One Ever Really Dies (Album Review)

You know what’s funny? I feel like there was a time that N.E.R.D. was one of the weirdest acts in music, as they put a s–t load of focus on creating some of the most zaniest tunes you will ever hear. Since then, lots of artists have adjusted to their sound, which means musicians aren’t afraid to show that inner N.E.R.D. that they have dislodged  somewhere in their mainstream heavy hearts. So with that being said, I am excited to hear some of our favorite artists go toe to toe with their sensei on this album, as they aim to pay homage to the groundbreaking band. (more…)

Eminem – Revival (Album Review)

 ‘Relapse’, ‘Recovery’, and now ‘Revival’. Eminem clearly loves being that underdog that was counted out by the massses, but proves everybody wrong by coming back stronger than ever. But can he even make that major come back anymore? Don’t get me wrong, his rapping ability is still phenomenal, but I continue to have strong doubts that he can create a full body of work that is even listenable.  Well the Detroit rapper can no longer walk on water, but hopefully he can channel that B-Rabbit in him that was able to slay any major challenge thrown his way.

G-Eazy – The Beautiful & The Damned (Album Review)

B4672BED-FD9C-43B7-806A-0B0ED40236E0

G-Eazy is already three albums in, but this might be his most important one to date. On the same day fellow rapper Eminem drops his come back album ‘Revival’, G-Eazy has a legit chance of out-performing him when it comes to the musical side of things (He won’t outsell him though). It will be quite the honor if he does, especially considering their glaring rap similarities (aka they are both white rappers). Nonetheless, I expect the most competitive version of G-Eazy on this album — one that I think can end up having him in the discussion for top 5 present day rappers by the end of the month.  (more…)
