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 – 1UP (Album Review)

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.

Offset – Father Of 4 (Album Review)

800px-Offset_Father_of_4.jpg

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…)

August Alsina – Forever And A Day (Review)

In my eyes, August Alsina is as intriguing to listen to as any other R&B act in the game. I love his passion, I love his willingness to let loose vocally, and most importantly, I love how raw his content is. On “Forever And A Day,” he dives deep into his bag of tricks, gifting us with a body of work that is perfect for Valentines day.

Wiz Khalifa & Curren$y – 2009 (Album Review)

So what does the year 2009 represent for Wiz Khalifa and Curren$y? It was a time both rappers were on top of the game, as together, they were able to usher in a brand of hip-hop music that was loose, relaxing and catered to the stoners of the world. Today, listeners get a chance to relive some of their high moments (pun intended), as the dynamic duo decided to link up once more for “2009.”  (more…)

Ariana Grande – thank u, next (Album Review)

Let’s keep it real: Ariana Grande has been through a lot of s**t these last couple of months. While we were busy feeling sorry for her, all she has done is work her ass off in the studio, dropping hit after hit after hit. With the release of “thank u, next,” her latest album, the ponytailed singer looks to continue her winning ways, gifting us with a body of work that is just as personal as it is exciting. (more…)

Boogie – Everything’s For Sale (Album Review)

Boogie’s time being a little-known rapper in the game should come to an end tonight. With the release of “Everything’s For Sale,” not only do I expect to hear high praise from hip-hop fans once they listen to his highly intelligent bars, but I also expect a Wikipedia page to finally be put up for him. (Seriously, dude was in a Snickers commercial with the legendary Elton John, what else does he have to do to get a f**king Wikipedia page put up for him?) (more…)
