Khalid – Free Spirit (Album Review)

Khalid has never followed anything by the book, instead he’s followed his emotions and heart; this is why I believe he is the most satisfying R&B artist to listen to today. With the release of “Free Spirit,” the El Paso singer/songwriter looks to continue his maturation process as an artist, doing everything he can to reach his peak without forgetting where he came from.

50 Goliath’s musical journey has taken him to “Journey” — A powerful fourteen track project that excels in everything from passionate bangers to vibrant EDM gems. In other words, 50 Goliath stayed true to his moniker on this album, because he definitely did it mighty.  (more…)

Juice WRLD – Death Race For Love (Album Review)

Juice WRLD’s journey to success has been quite an interesting one. At 19 years old, he popped into the scene with two billboard hits in “Lucid Dreams” and “All The Girls Are The Same.” From there, he dropped a solid project in “Goodbye & Good Riddance.” Each step of the way, Juice was a relative unknown, but the passion and emotion he plugged into his music made him one of those intriguing artists you wanted to know more about. If you fast forward to today, we’ve practically gotten a chance to hear the Chicago rapper on everything from joint albums with Future to a remix to a pop song with Halsey in the last year. Juice has made that next step to superstardom, which I predicted would have an impact on his music; would it be a positive impact or a negative impact, though? I guess we’ll find out with “Death Race For Love.”

T-Pain is still ticking, folks! After taking a bit of a hiatus from 2011 to 2017, he’s returned to his old form, releasing a bunch of music that has slapped these last three years. “1UP” is his latest body of work, and as expected, it features an explosive version of the legendary crooner that will get you all the way amped up.

Future – The WIZRD (Album Review)

It’s hard to believe that Future has been relevant in the hip-hop game for ten years now. To put that in perspective, he’s had longer career success than Tupac, Biggie, Nelly and Ludacris. With the release of “THE WIZRD,” his 7th studio album, he looks to continue his impressive run, doing it in a way that hip-hop critics have no choice but to respect.  (more…)

Gucci Mane – Evil Genius (Album Review)

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…)

Freddie Gibbs – Freddie (Album Review)

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…)
