Listen to some of the top songs from all of the album releases from this year.
Benny Blanco is a well known figure in the music industry, and for “Friends Keep Secrets,” he used some of his clout to link the biggest stars of r&b, rap and pop together for seven enjoyable tracks. (more…)

Earlier this week, Gucci Mane proclaimed himself ‘the best rapper alive.’ While I can’t stress to you how much I disagree with that sentiment, both his work ethic and knack for creating trap hits in his sleep may have you thinking differently. In “Evil Genius,” his whopping 98th project, he looks to continue making his case for the title, while at the same time getting the bando jumpin’. (more…)

I’m not going to lie, I am still shocked and appalled that XXXTENTACION is no longer with us. I felt at the time of his passing that he was just entering into his prime, figuring out a bunch of different sounds he could f**k around and be successful in. With “Skins,” we get a chance to see one of the last directions the Florida rapper aimed to go with his music, perhaps wowing us from deep up in the sky. (more…)

Ski Mask The Slump God looks to end 2018 on a high note with “Stokeley!” (more…)

I’m not going to lie, I did not see Lil Baby’s rise to the top coming at all. Since releasing “That’s My Dawg” in 2017, he’s had a couple of singles and albums that did really well on the billboard charts. Today, the Atlanta native looks to keep his success going, releasing this thirteen track project called “Street Gossip” that might very well feature a version of the rapper that has his chest sticking out.

Whenever Trey Songz decides to hang up the mic, he will go down as one of the most successful singers of his era. I feel like for my generation, he broke down barriers, ushering in a style of R&B music that meshed pretty well with trendy hip hop. At the age of 34, I still think he has a couple of good years left in him, and with the release of “11/28,” a double-disc/star-studded project, it seems music execs and his peers think so, too.

Tekashi 6ix9ine is one of the most outlandish public figures I’ve seen in years. Unfortunately, because of this, not much praise has been given to him for having a pretty solid record when it comes to charting on the Billboard 100. Now that it looks likely that the rainbow-haired rapper will see some serious jail-time, DUMMY BOY might very well get its chance to receive credit where credit is due, mainly because it won’t have its own maker’s distractions getting in the way of its shine.

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…)

Did ya’ll think that after all these legends dropped albums these last couple of weeks that Jay-Z and Beyoncè would keep silent? It was inevitable that somehow the couple would get in on the action, breaking the internet faster than any naked Kim Kardashian photo wished it could. In this new surprise project, the duo looks to shift hip hop’s balance of power in their direction, even if in the process it requires them to dive deeper into personal lives that they are so good at keeping private when they aren’t making music.  (more…)

Another week, another major Kanye West produced project. The latest episode features two of my favorite artists in Kid Cudi and West, so trust that I’m excited about it. Interestingly enough, this collaboration was very close to not happening… Just a few years ago, the two midwest legends had a bit of a falling out while they were both going through a few things in their personal lives. Since then, they’ve reunited, and promised to have as good a music relationship as they ever had. With all that being said, I guess the major question to ask is what do I think this album is going to sound like? I say a smidge of cockiness, a good amount of infectious melodies, and lots of craziness! (more…)
Fetty Wap has been pretty damn consistent this year. It started with the release of his “FMF 3” project — a solid body of work that reminded me of his old music. Today, the New Jersey native decided to drop yet another project (A day early at that) called “Bruce Wayne,” and it looks to feature a version of Fetty that is motivated to show the world his versatility. (more…)
