Buddy – Harlan and Alondra (Album Review)
Buddy isn't the most flashy or exuberant rap name in the world, and neither is his music, but by-golly, I love his artistry with all my heart! Seriously, his style…

I’m aware that God don’t like ugly, but in this case, Big Baby DRAM gets a pass! I truly believe in his ability to make music, which is why whenever he drops something new, I’m all on it! His latest project is “That’s a Girls Name” — a three track EP that features music that sounds like it came from three generations. Yes, no bulls**t, music that sounds like it came from three generations. (more…)

Out of his own mouth, Wiz Khalifa said that "Rolling Papers 1" was a learning experience for him. He did a couple of things on the album that required him…

What a summer we’ve had thus far in the hip hop world, right? A bunch of Kanye produced projects, a Jay-Z and Beyonce joint album, and a music video by Lil Pump that features Charlie Sheen! I’m not ready for it to end, and apparently, one of hip hop’s biggest stars isn’t either. (more…)

What a pleasant surprise Future Hendrix has decided to give us with the release of “BEASTMODE 2!” It’s not like he was away from the music scene for a long time, though, as he just gifted us with a fantastic soundtrack to the “Superfly” movie less than a month ago. But you know what they say, right? Hustler’s never sleep, and since music is Future’s product these days, I expect something addictive from him on this short project that is capable of giving the songs on my summer playlist a run for its money.

The hip hop industry has made it mandatory to root for Meek Mill. Why not, right? He’s a young black male from Philadelphia that made it out of his hood by working his ass off, only to be derailed by what seems to be an unfair judicial system. For now, his legal issues have subsided, and that honeymoon period that followed his release has began to diminish. That means it’s time for him to draw us in with his music, and this mixtape is the first step. (more…)

Casanova is one of the few MC’s in the game that gives me these 90’s vibes when he raps. He isn’t super lyrical, but believes that hip hop music’s main ingredient should be energy — just like the MC’s from back in the day thought. Granted, the energy he gives off isn’t quite family friendly, but nonetheless, it is invigorating enough to hype you up and make you think about doing something that might get you arrested. With his debut album, “Commissary,” I look for the NYC native to kick ass and take names, using a style that is now considered unique in hip hop. (more…)

What a bittersweet ending this album symbolizes. For five straight weeks, Kanye West has provided us with some of the most unique/intriguing hip hop albums this year, showing us his ability to think outside of the box when it comes to making music. Hopefully his style inspires other hip hop artists to do the same (I’m looking directly at you Blocboy JB), and also encourages him to get involved in the making of music with other artists in the game. In the mean time, Teyana Taylor, an artist I believe is truly talented, gets her chance to impress fans with her newest effort, and since Kanye is involved in its making, I’m expecting something great.

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…)

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie links up with artists from all over the globe on "International Artist."

Breaking boundaries with SoundCloud and creating news stories that left people with an ethical dilemma of whether or not to support him, it is undeniable that XXXTentacion was talented and had so much more to offer the world of hip-hop. While he led a life of violence and it was portrayed clearly in his music, he gave people something they could relate to. (His music depicted depression, pain, and suicide) (more…)
