In 2026 Vince Staples comes back after a 2 year hiatus to drop his seventh studio album, Cry Baby, and it becomes on of the best albums of the year. Going into this album I expected a easy going project most likely in the 80s, but I was completely blown away. I loved the production on this project, I thought the overall Punk Rock influence was amazing and definitely kept the beats captivating for me. I loved Vince's performances and how he went all in on the Punk Rock sound, he managed to ... read more

In 2013 Gucci Mane released one of his many mixtapes, World War 3, Vol. 1: Lean, and it absolutely delivers. Going into this project I didn't expect it to be anything mind-blowing but I was immediately astonished by the first track. This mixtape brings together some trap producer all stars, Mike WILL Made-It and Honorable C.N.O.T.E., to produce this project and it helps, although the production isn't absolutely amazing it still is really good and rather consistent making it to be ... read more

In 1992 Bradley Nowell, Eric Wilson, and Bud Gaugh came together to make their band Sublime's debut album, 40oz. to Freedom, and it is pretty solid. I thought this album was relatively good, I thought the highs on this project definitely saved the album because there was times where this project had lows, nothing to bad or unlistenable, but wasn't the best. This album was long with 23 tracks on it but I thought that it was pretty consistent. The first half was fun and had major rock ... read more

In 1982 Michael Jackson released not only the best selling album of all time, but also one of the best albums of all time, Thriller. This album is an absolute masterpiece, words cannot describe the greatness of this project. I loved the production on here, it is insane how Quincy Jones did all these outstanding beats all by himself, they all had a specialty to them that made them different from the other tracks making it sound cohesive but also giving each song a personality. I loved ... read more

In 1979 Michael Jackson released his first solo album as an adult, Off The Wall, and it becomes one of the greatest albums ever. This album is an absolute masterpiece that made me want to dance throughout the whole listen. I loved the production that was solely provided by Quincy Jones, it was so good and fun and suited Michael so well. I loved Michael's vocals the whole project they are absolutely heavenly and his pen game was also great. This record sonically sounded so cohesive, but yet ... read more

In 2018 Kanye West dropped his album, ye, and It absolutely delivers. I absolutely adore short and sweet albums because they get straight to the point, but listening to this album truly had me yearning for more. I want to start off with the albums production because I thought this production was great, it was definitely new from the previous Kanye production up to that point and it even sounded different than his other projects he produced for others, like Pusha T and Nas, that same year. The ... read more

In 2014 Mac Miller released his nearly 90 minute project, Faces, and it becomes a classic. I have never laughed and cried to an album quite like this one. I love this project and I wanna start off with the ideas on this project, the ideas of drug addiction and depression and death, he explores these and makes such relatable and emotional tracks and all the ideas were just executed greatly on this project. I thought the production was great and so unique, the production is just so perfect ... read more

I loved the sampling used on here, I like how they sample heavily on here but make it sound unique and different from the original piece. I love ... read more

In 2009 The Jacka released his album Tear Gas, and it proves how underrated he is. I went into this project not expecting to much and came out impressed. I wanna start off with how this album kept my attention the whole time. It is one of the very few "long" albums that I don't find to be bloated. Every song has something to make it stick out from the rest. I really liked the production on this LP, it was great and some of the samples were really cool like on Our Heroes with Dubb ... read more

On 9/11 JAY-Z made an album so good they have a national holiday on the day it dropped, and that album is The Blueprint. This album is absolutely amazing, and it's so cool to me how it has such a distinct sound that set the bar for what the 2000s would sound like. I wanna start off with the production because I think it's perfect, I like how Hov only had 6 producers on the whole album, it truly makes the album so cohesive. I loved hearing young Kanye's beats on here, he truly ... read more

In 2025 Westside Gunn dropped his final mixtape to complete his Heels Have Eyes trilogy, Heels Have Eyes 3, and it delivers. I honestly really like this mixtape and I think the whole series provides some of the best songs from Gunn I've heard. I wanna start off by saying that there was literally no filler on this project, it was just banger after banger then it ended. I thought that was great, I honestly love short and sweet projects because they just get to the point and leave you with a ... read more

In 2026 Drake dropped 3 albums all in one night, with Iceman being the main project, and, unlike the other 2 albums, this one actually delivers.

In 2026 Drake dropped three albums to celebrate his "come-back" with Habibti being one of them, and these albums continue to disappoint me. This is the second out of three albums I'm listening to and although better than Maid Of Honour that's not a high bar. I'm going to start off with the positives, I thought the production was somewhat cohesive and listenable, I enjoyed him not degrading women on this LP, and I enjoyed WNBA, Slap The City with Qendresa, Classic, and ... read more

On May 15th, 2026, Drake surprised the industry and fans by releasing 3 studio albums with Maid Of Honour being one of them and holy is this awful. This is my first album out of the three that drake and I am already so disappointed. I wanna start off with the highlights, I thought the production had some cool moments like the sample on the first half of Cheetah Print and I did like the songs Road Trips, BBW, and Q&A. Other than that I thought this album was awful. I like how Drake put his ... read more

In 2026 Kenny Mason released his 4th studio album, BULLDAWG, and it turns out to be one of his strongest. This is my introduction into Kenny, apart from his features with JID, Denzel Curry, and Dreamville, and I am honestly impressed. This album was such a smooth listen start to finish, everything felt super cohesive but still managed to give every song its own personality. I thought the versatility Kenny displayed on here was great, I think he has great vocals along with being a great rapper. ... read more

In 2014 YG released his debut album, My Krazy Life, and it delivers. I really enjoyed this album, I thought it was refreshing for me to hear such a true west coast album. I wanna start off with the story this album tells because I think it's really cool. I felt like this was heavily inspired by good kid, m.A.A.d city where YG tells a story about his life living in Compton which obviously good kid, m.A.A.d city did 2 years prior. I honestly felt like I was in Compton while listening, the ... read more

In 2017 Big K.R.I.T. released his double album, 4eva Is a Mighty Long Time, and it turned out to be a modern classic. This album was amazing I loved how it was a love letter to dirty south while also being a whole new thing entirely. I loved the double album concept of this project where Disc 1 talks about K.R.I.T.'s public identity where he puts on a more flashy persona, while Disc 2 shines light on his private identity giving for more of a introspective listen. I thought the production ... read more

In 2015 Travis Scott released his debut album, Rodeo, and it turned out to be an absolute masterpiece. This album is the epitome of trap and it's what trap artist should strive for.

I loved Travis's raps and ... read more

So Kanye West's 12 year old daughter, North West, released a 2026 EP, N0rth4evr, and its alright. I honestly couldn't see myself truly thinking this project is bad, I found it mediocre, but never bad. I did like the sampling, I thought it was cool to see these very unique samples integrated in the song, but I did feel like North was basically an emo poser, getting literally the most base level songs. Also, North is 12 years old so it was kind of weird seeing this emo-isk EP from ... read more
