YoungBoy Never Broke Again – Decided (Mixtape Review)

We have to change YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s name to YoungBoy Never Sleeps Again, because he’s been dropping project after project these last couple of weeks. His latest comes less than 24 hours after his 4Loyalty EP dropped, but I don’t think that will have any barring on the effort you get from him on it. (more…)

YBN: The Mixtape (Mixtape Review)

“YBN: The Mixtape” is our first legitimate chance to figure out if we are riding with the YBN crew for the long run or not. It also gives us a chance to weave them out from all the other young rap acts in the game.  (more…)

Lloyd – TRU (Album Review)

I feel like everyone and their mama loves a good comeback story. In Lloyd’s new project titled “TRU,” that’s what America is treated to. On it, the former Murder Inc. crooner gets a chance to talk about the tragedy he’s been through, his motivation to overcome that tragedy, and best of all, his ability to navigate through it with positive thoughts (Among-st other things). I think the time was right for him to make his triumphant return, and you know and I know that timing is a major player when you deal with what he’s had to deal with the last couple of years.

Eminem – Kamikaze (Album Review)

Look who decided to release a brand new project for us today! I’m not all that surprised, because I feel like Eminem took it to the heart when the critics bashed his previous effort (Revival). On “KamiKaze,” he finally gets his revenge, and for the individuals like myself that bashed him last year, you might end up on suicide watch after listening to it. (more…)

YoungBoy Never Broke Again – 4Freedom (EP Review)

img_2711

Just last week, YoungBoy Never Broke Again dropped his “4Respect” EP, and I thought it was a pretty damn good effort from him. Today, he gives us an emotional counterpart to that project called “4Freedom,” and I am expecting some pretty passionate s**t this time around. Can YoungBoy Never Broke Again go 2/2 in less than a week? We shall see below! (more…)

Bas – Milky Way (Album Review)

1535022673_bas-milky-way.jpg

Bas has been relatively quiet these last couple of years, and rightfully so, this era of hip hop tends to ignore clever rappers like himself. But Dreamville’s Scottie Pippen is back, and thankfully, he’s continued to ignore both trap beats and the urge to mumble in favor of rapping over jazzy instrumentals that you would probably hear in a grocery store. Correct, the game missed Cole’s preachy raps when he was gone, but for the fiends like myself that were hanging on to every bit of knowledge Bas was dishing out to us on his previous album (Too High To Riot), we missed him just as much.
