Kevin Gates – By Any Means 2 (Album Review)

 

Think about all the rappers that ended up doing jail stints when they were in their prime: You got Tupac, Wayne, Tip, Gucci Mane, and now Kevin Gates. Even though I associate Gates with this group, something about his stint is a little different than the other rappers I mentioned in that list. I feel like Gates is this highly spiritual guy that has a lot to say, so when you put a muzzle on him, I anticipate all those bottled up feelings to manifest itself on a platform like this album.

Lil Uzi Vert – Luv is Rage 2 (Album Review)

Let’s all be honest: Not only was ‘XO Tour Life’ a damn good song, but it also feels like it came out of nowhere.

With Uzi putting all his cards on this ‘Luv Is Rage 2’ project, I look forward to hearing the young artist follow up to a damn there classic song. (more…)

Dave East – Paranoia: A True Story (Album Review)

Numerous times I’ve crowned Dave East as the realist rapper in the game, leaving me curious on whether or not he can maintain his street persona while he continues to rise in popularity. I for one would love to see Dave become one of the top go-to-rappers in the game today, which is why seeing features like Chris Brown and Wiz on here sorta gets me amped up.  (more…)

The good news is that Hooly has more tracks that came out in this new album called ‘Welcome to Hoolyville’, giving fans even more of a chance to hear the Harlem based rapper show why his rise in the game is for good reason.
