Takeoff – The Last Rocket (Album Review)
To many, Takeoff is the best member of Migos. I beg to differ, but I understand where the people that think that are coming from. I do see him as…

I am in amazement at how Swizz Beatz was able to maintain his status in the hip hop game after all these years. For one, he isn’t really a rapper, and secondly, he hasn’t really produced a bunch of new music. Nonetheless, he’s remained relevant, and as a result, “Poison,” his first album since 2007, is one of the most anticipated in hip hop this year. (more…)

Metro Boomin’ was the producer of the year in 2017, and in my opinion, it wasn’t even close. His rapport with trap artists such as Offset, 21 Savage and Future made him a go-to-guy, especially for artists who needed some kind of spark to get their career going. In 2018, Metro has been quieter than a mouse, opting to play the back while other producers like Murda Beatz and Tay Keith took over the game. With “Not All Heroes Wear Capes,” the Atlanta native looks to make his triumphant return, reminding us all that heroes don’t have to speak, either.

Look who decided to make his unexpected return to the hip hop scene today, folks! To be completely honest with you, I am not the biggest fan of BlocBoy JB, mainly because I see him as your average trap rapper that lacks originality. However, I can’t argue with his hit-making ability, as his resume boosts two of the biggest club bangers of 2018 (Look Alive and Rover). In the Memphis native’s “Don’t Think That” EP, he attempts to show the world that his success is no fluke, gifting us with a versatile body of work that will very well surprise some. (more…)

Freddie Gibbs, Curren$y and Alchemist’s joint project “Fetti” finally hit the net, and trust me, it is tougher than my nappy ass Nigerian hair! (more…)

Once upon a time, Black Eyed Peas were a high-selling musical act that had at least one hit a year. As time passed, they’ve become a bit of a forgotten commodity in the game, which is quite a surprise considering how high they were when they were at their peak. In “MASTERS OF THE SUN,” the band looks to recreate some of their magic, reverting back to a style of music they utilized when they first hit the scene. (more…)

My favorite Pip Squeak in the hip hop game has finally gotten his chance to show the world that he is more than just a ringtone rapper with the release of “Sincerely, Tokyo.” (more…)

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Jeremih and Ty Dolla $ign are two of the most important R&B singers in the game right now. They are both go-to artists for rappers that want some soulful crooning in their music, and in their solo efforts, I believe they have delivered some of the most timeless records out. Today, they join forces for “MIH-TY,” and as one of their biggest fans, I expect greatness. (more…)

Tory Lanez has worked his way into hip hop’s elite by hard-work and determination. In “Love Me Now,” he talks about finally being on rap’s Mount Rushmore, touching on the good, the bad and ‘the ugly that comes with success for literally 16 straight bangers. (more…)

Brent Faiyaz isn’t quite a household name right now, despite being Grammy-nominated for his contributions on GoldLink and Shy Glizzy’s sizzling hot “Crew” record. Today, the Columbia, MD native looks to continue his rise up the charts, releasing a six track EP that I think is as intriguing as it gets. (more…)

Actually, Lil Yachty does have quite a bit to prove… Despite dropping a few solid verses on other artists’ s**t, he hasn’t quite delivered a full body of work that has caught my attention yet. My hope is that he was f**kin’ with us on those first two albums, and that this third one is the real deal. I doubt it, but I’ll remain hopeful. (more…)
