2 Chainz – Rap Or Go To The League (Album Review)

Rap_or_Go_to_the_League_cover.jpg

Let’s be real: Did you see 2 Chainz outlasting Ludacris in the rap game? If you said yes, you are a damn lie! When Chainz first emerged onto the scene with Playaz Circle, it felt like he was going to be one of those affiliates that ended up in Luda’s purgatory. Fortunately, through hard work, the Atlanta native has carved himself  out quite the career. On “Rap Or Go To The League,” Chainz gets to elaborate on what the odds looked like for him when he first thought about balling/rapping, and what you get to hear is beyond fascinating music.  (more…)

T-Pain is still ticking, folks! After taking a bit of a hiatus from 2011 to 2017, he’s returned to his old form, releasing a bunch of music that has slapped these last three years. “1UP” is his latest body of work, and as expected, it features an explosive version of the legendary crooner that will get you all the way amped up.

Screen Shot 2019-02-25 at 11.51.19 PM

Kasiim is the definition of a talented artist. Not only does he mix, master, produce and write his own music, but the music he creates happens to be pretty powerful, too. In “Sons & Loverz,” his latest effort, Kasiim shines bright, telling tales of everything from lost love to hood success stories. (more…)

Stream Eric Bellinger’s “The Rebirth 2”

Earlier this week, I described Eric Bellinger as one of the most underrated R&B acts in the game today. When it comes to his artistry, he is very versatile, and singing-wise, he is capable of reaching notes your favorite singer’s favorite singer needs machines to obtain. With “Rebirth 2,” he looks to prove his worth to the game, delivering a 32-track project full of pretty solid tunes. (more…)

After several delays, Offset has finally released his highly anticipated debut album  “Father of 4.” Typically, delays mean getting s**t cleared by music execs, but this time around, I truly believe the Migos rapper wanted to give us a body of work that mirrored perfection.

Gunna – Drip Or Drown 2 (Album Review)

You wanna know when I realized that Gunna was one of the hottest rappers in the game? When he appeared on both Mariah Carey and Usher’s albums within’ a month’s span. It’s obvious the hip-hop world is enamored with YSL’s whole drippy movement, and there is nothing Logic or I can do about it. Today, the movement manifests itself on a full length album called “Drip Or Drown 2.” (more…)

Kehlani – While We Wait (Mixtape Review)

I’m not afraid to admit that I love me some Kehlani! Her youthful style of R&B music has been very enjoyable to listen to these last couple of years. With that being said, for the last few months, a lot of growing up has occurred for the Oakland product outside of music. For starters, she is expecting her first child any minute now, and secondly, she has found a way to deal with the ups and downs that come with having a relationship in the media’s spotlight a lot better. In my opinion, these transgressions has certainly impacted her music, which is why I believe “While We Wait” will show the world a completely different side of the singer. (more…)

Lil Pump – Harverd Dropout (Album Review)

In every generation, there is a rapper that comes along that is so far left, they rub older generations the wrong way. In my lifetime, Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em was that guy, and for this generation, the avocado toast/Lamelo Ball-loving generation, Lil Pump is that guy. Today, Pump looks to prove he’s more than just a pip squeak that made it famous by glamorizing drugs and useless behavior with the release of “Harverd Dropout.” How will he do it? By convincing us that glamorizing drugs and useless behavior is a new normal he created. #Creatinganewnormalmakesyoualegend (more…)

Stream Giggs’ “BIG BAD…” Album

Giggs is definitely one of hip-hop’s most heinous acts. His style is grungy, his lyrics are unapologetic, and most importantly, I feel like he does a great job of connecting with every hood around the world. In “BIG BAD…,” I expect Giggs to continue his gritty rap ways, entering 2019 with a bang.  

“BIG BAD…” features appearances by Jadakiss, GASHI, Lil Yachty, French Montana & Labrinth.
