Future – The WIZRD (Album Review)

capture.jpg

It’s hard to believe that Future has been relevant in the hip-hop game for ten years now. To put that in perspective, he’s had longer career success than Tupac, Biggie, Nelly and Ludacris. With the release of “THE WIZRD,” his 7th studio album, he looks to continue his impressive run, doing it in a way that hip-hop critics have no choice but to respect.  (more…)

Gucci Mane – Evil Genius (Album Review)

Earlier this week, Gucci Mane proclaimed himself ‘the best rapper alive.’ While I can’t stress to you how much I disagree with that sentiment, both his work ethic and knack for creating trap hits in his sleep may have you thinking differently. In “Evil Genius,” his whopping 98th project, he looks to continue making his case for the title, while at the same time getting the bando jumpin’. (more…)

Tekashi 6ix9ine – DUMMY BOY (Album Review)

6ix9ine-dummy-boy.jpg

Tekashi 6ix9ine is one of the most outlandish public figures I’ve seen in years.  Unfortunately, because of this, not much praise has been given to him for having a pretty solid record when it comes to charting on the Billboard 100. Now that it looks likely that the rainbow-haired rapper will see some serious jail-time, DUMMY BOY might very well get its chance to receive credit where credit is due, mainly because it won’t have its own maker’s distractions getting in the way of its shine.

Freddie Gibbs – Freddie (Album Review)

I had no clue Freddie Gibbs had an album on the way… Matter of fact, I had no clue he can look like the 2018 version of Jeffrey from Fresh Prince of Bel Air either (Peep the album artwork above). Both aspects shouldn’t have any bearing on what the album is going to sound like, right? (more…)

Blac Youngsta – 2.23 (Album Review)

Blac Youngsta clearly doesn’t mind fitting into the stereotypes that comes with being a rapper: He’s loud, he’s reckless, and if you play with his money, he can become violent! Musically, Youngsta also follows a heedless approach, at times sounding even more outlandish than he does in real life. But hey, we are all too serious sometimes, so why not listen to something a little more lighthearted for once, right? (more…)

Migos – Culture II (Album Review)

Whether you like it or not, Migos are leaders of the hip hop world right now, and to me, they confirmed that in their previous album.  Not only did "Culture" have a myriad of hits, but I feel like the style that the group rapped with on the album was also emulated by everybody and their mama! So, do you think that they will have the same impact with "Culture II?" Let's find out...

XXXTENTACION – 17 (Album Review)

The most popular thing to do is to label a wild teen like XXXTENTACION as a waste of time to listen to; however, what I hear when I listen to him is an opportunity for a regular Joe like myself to enter into the mind of a rebellious teen that doesn’t care for the boxes that society wants to put him in. With ’17,’ X knows that it is his time to show the world how artistic he can be, and much to my surprise, he ends up spitting out a borderline masterpiece. (more…)
