Gucci Mane – Delusions Of Grandeur (Album Review)

“Delusions of Grandeur” is Gucci Mane’s gazillionth project (Isn’t that amazing?). Not only should the Zone 6 rapper’s longevity in the game be applauded, but his ability to remain his grandiose/trap self should be recognized, too. With that being said, I look for this new album to feature lots of trap hits, but also experimental and vulnerable cuts. (more…)

Since dropping “Look Alive,” it seems like BlocBoy JB has been on a steady decline. You can argue that his willingness to experiment with a bunch of different sounds is the reason he hasn’t been poppin’, or perhaps, he wasn’t that good to begin with. With the release of “I Am Me,” the Tennessee native looks to go back to his roots, gifting us with a body of work that is full of nothing but authentic trap vibes. Let’s see if JB can finally bounce back from his funk. 

“I Am Me” features Lil Durk and MoneyBagg Yo.

The UK bully (aka Skepta) is back with a brand new project called “Ignorance Is Bliss.” Surprisingly, he gets all mushy on it, opening up about a myriad of personal issues and sounding a bit more focused than he has in the past. Does he completely leave the grime lifestyle behind, though? How about you press play on the album and hear for yourself, playa! (more…)

Just when you thought Dipset’s Jim Jones was starting to slow down, he releases the Heatmakerz produced album titled “El Capo.” It features sixteen tracks full of great features (Including Jadakiss, Cam’ron, Fabolous, Rick Ross and Dave East), fire ass beats and hood-inspired content you can’t ignore. While Jim has clearly lost a step rapping-wise, he does still have some appeal to his artistry. (more…)

Kevin Gates is a man on a mission. I feel like whenever he raps, he sees himself as a prophet that won’t be able to sleep at night if he doesn’t give proper advice to individuals in the hood that want to come-up like him. With that being said, “Only The Generals Gon Understand” is a six track body of work that’s informative, passionate and powerful enough to make those who aren’t generals feel a bit threatened; please don’t let that deter you from pressing play on it, though.

Chicago’s very own, Calboy, comes through with a helluva debut in “Wild Boy” — a ten track project that features some impressive melodies and deep ass content real ones can relate to. The project also features guest appearances by Meek Mill, Lil Durk, Yo Gotti and Young Thug — this should get a few of the fair weather hip-hop fans of the world to at least give it a shot. On behalf of The Ratings Game, we encourage you to give “Wild Boy” a shot. (more…)

Stream Miley Cyrus’ “SHE IS COMING” EP

Hate it or love it, but Miley Cyrus has been a key-cog when it comes to pop stars uniting with hip-hop artists these last couple of years. With a couple of tough ass singles under her belt, the “23” singer decided to keep the hits coming, releasing a short EP titled “SHE IS COMING” that features everything from hip-hop bangers to vulnerable cuts. I can honestly say that I enjoyed the project, despite having an ungodly amount of hair on both my back and scrotum area. (more…)

If you ask me, Temp has superstar written all over him. Not only is he a duo threat — having the ability to both rap and sing equally as well — but he also has this appeal to his artistry that is glaring. In his newest project, “Remember Me,” Temp tries to navigate through a promising run in the game while also maintaining the same level of hunger he had when he first started rapping. (more…)
