In “No.6 Collaborations Project,” pop megastar Ed Sheeran seeks love, street cred, revenge and a place where he isn’t judged. Knowing he will not be able to achieve such lofty goals by himself, Ed decided to recruit a bunch of different music stars to help him out. (more…)

Jaden – ERYS (Album Review)

capture

“ERYS” is “SYRE” spelled backwards. “SYRE” is Jaden’s middle name and the title of his debut album. For some bizarre reason, I have a feeling “ERYS” will end up being “SYRE’s” evil shadow (OK, watching “US” before rating this album was a bad idea). (more…)

Dreamville’s highly anticipated “Revenge Of The Dreamers III” album has finally arrived! Just like any other sequel, it features crazy plot twists, talented C-list guest appearances, and most importantly, an impressive showing by the franchise’s head honcho. Man, I love sequels so much! (more…)

Chris Brown – Indigo (Album Review)

img_4428

On “Heartbreak On A Full Moon,” Chris Brown’s last album, he gifted us with a whopping 45 tracks; “Indigo” only has 32, so it looks like he decided to tone things down a bit. All jokes aside, Chris is known to give it his all whenever he creates music, so I expect to be entertained from start to finish regardless of the project’s length. (more…)

In order to fully enjoy a Tyler, The Creator project, I feel like you have to appreciate the ins and outs of the creative instincts that go into making music. In “IGOR,” the Wolf Gang rapper shows that he’s still lapping the field when it comes to that department, gifting us with a twelve track body of work that is fantastic in every facet of music. (more…)

Ciara – Beauty Marks (Album Review)

There’s some people in this world that simply can’t catch a break from fans; Ciara is one of them. I’ve always liked the music she’s been able to make, but for some reason, it seems like she doesn’t get the publicity she deserves. In “Beauty Marks,” I predict all that changing, as the Atlanta native was able to deliver a body of work that is free, fun and empowering for individuals like herself. (more…)

Logic – Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind (Album Review)

Logic’s ascension from really good underground rapper to one of the hottest artists in the game has been quick and deserving. In the last three years, he has dropped five major projects, with three of them being actual studio albums. While some would think such a feat will result in watered down music, instead, what you get from the Gaithersburg native are tunes that never let up when it comes to impact. In “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind,” one of his latest studio albums, Logic pieces together a body of work that is enjoyable to listen to, but also pretty meaningful. (more…)
