Travis Scott - Rodeo
90
Relistening to Travis's discography in preparation for Utopia, and all these years later it's so clear now why this is considered his magnum opus by his fanbase.

This is essentially the My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy of trap/southern hip hop.

We're approaching almost a decade since this released and there isn't any other trap album that sounds like this when it really goes for the abstract and grandiose experimentation. Even DS2 sounds tame compared to this album, and I'd probably put it ... read more

Pusha T - Daytona
80
5 years later, and Daytona is firm proof that Kanye West’s collaborative efforts (pre-Nazi appraisal) will culminate in an over inflated boost due strictly to his sole association. This isn’t to say that Daytona isn’t a great project, because it surely is. But Daytona’s status within the hip hop community is one that feels quite like a hyped up exaggeration, as if this album is flawless and the second coming of Christ for Pusha T. He is one of the most consistent artists ... read more
KAYTRAMINÉ - KAYTRAMINÉ
80
KAYTRAMINE finds Kaytranada and Amine pairing up to deliver a summery, poppy hip-house album that boasts their strengths, and allows their career consistent shortcomings to be bearable. I want to preface this review with the facts that I find Kaytranada to be extremely overhyped in the grand scheme of music, while Amine to be quite undervalued in the hip hop scene respectively. Kaytranada was one of the most promising up and coming producers in the mid 2010’s, and his phenomenal debut ... read more
Mac Miller - GO:OD AM
100
Mac Miller's hip hop heavy magnum opus is a hard hitting, emotional journey to find the light in a world where Mac was once lost in the darkness, as portrayed by his eclectic, and drug addiction confessional release Faces.

It sees easily his best rapping, choruses, and arguably production, depending on your preference for his different musical ventures.

Every feature delivers and Mac always ensures to deliver and then some over them. While some will argue it isn't his best album, it's near ... read more

BROCKHAMPTON - SATURATION II
100
While Saturation may be more memorable and interesting due to the sudden explosion and uproar it caused on release, Saturation II feels much more focused and exciting, while still somehow feeling just as versatile.

BROCKHAMPTON found their sound only a few months after their debut album, and it feels like a swift Mike Tyson punch to the face.

Some of the most colorful production of the 2010's, a zany cast of characters that somehow mesh into one authentic experience, exploration of every ... read more

Love your reviews! Would you ever write a No Pressure review? I saw it was your favorite Logic album, and I'm curious to see what you have to say about it.
