Denzel Curry’s “Taboo” is another album where he demonstrates masterful control over his flow. Not every track is amazing – some moments are a bit dull – but Denzel’s energy and rhythm keep the project at a very high level. I’d rate it 95/100.
Playboi Carti’s “Music” was a highly anticipated album. Did it fully meet expectations? Not really. Did it disappoint? Not quite either. It has its strong points and Carti’s signature vibe, but it lacks that wild, unpredictable energy found in tracks like “Toxic.” Still, it’s enjoyable, which is why I’d rate it 85/100.
“Finally Rich” is a solid album, full of strong, catchy tracks and Chief Keef’s signature style. Most songs maintain a good level and deliver the typical Chicago drill energy. Sometimes, though, it lacks the effortless flow that made the classic “Love Sosa” so special. Overall, it’s a very good project, which is why I rate it 85/100.
“We Love You Tecca” is a good album that shows Tecca’s potential and delivers a lot of fun energy. The tracks are catchy, light, and easy to listen to. The issue, however, is the lack of creativity – many songs sound too similar, and there isn’t much artistic risk being taken. So while it’s a solid project with a nice vibe, it doesn’t rise above a strong 80/100.
“Imperial” by Denzel Curry has strong moments – the energy and aggression in his voice can really pull you in. The production is solid and fits his style well. Unfortunately, not every track is memorable, and some just pass by without leaving much impact. Because of that, even with its highlights, the album as a whole doesn’t fully impress. For me, it’s a 75/100.
“Skins” by XXXTentacion has a few tracks that really stand out, showcasing his talent and raw emotion. The problem is the instability of the project – at times it feels fresh and powerful, but then it drops into empty, less engaging songs. The lack of consistency makes it hard to stay immersed in the vibe. That’s why I’d give it a 75/100.
“Madvillainy” is a true hip-hop classic – an album that set standards and continues to inspire. The production is full of character, and MF DOOM’s delivery impresses with its originality. It’s a project you can revisit endlessly. Still, it feels like it’s missing that final touch, that one detail to push it to perfection. For me, it stands at 90/100.
“Stokeley” is an album that keeps a steady, solid level from start to finish. It might not be perfect and not every track is mind-blowing, but as a whole it’s a great listen. The collaboration with Juice WRLD definitely stands out, adding extra energy and emotion. It’s a project that highlights Ski Mask’s unique style, and for me it’s a strong 85/100.
Compared to “Ghetto Fabolous,” Rich Amiri’s “War Ready” feels like a step down – that earlier project had freshness and stronger character, while here the trap sound sometimes comes off too safe and predictable. Still, it’s not a bad album – Amiri brings bursts of energy and a good sense for melodies, and the production can definitely hit. The problem is the lack of real standout highlights that would lift the project higher, which makes 80/100 a ... read more
“Goodbye & Good Riddance” stands out with its strong delivery and the artist’s distinctive style. It has plenty of catchy moments and earworm melodies that make it very easy to listen to. The downside is that at times it sounds too “sweet” and flat, which makes it lose some depth. Still, the album is enjoyable and carries its own vibe.
“WE DON'T TRUST YOU” has several really strong tracks and great features that show the artist’s potential. The production is interesting and engaging, and some moments have amazing energy that keeps the listener hooked. The problem is that the rest of the album doesn’t maintain the same level – some parts are average, making the project feel a bit uneven. Still, overall it delivers an enjoyable experience and shows the direction the artist can grow in.
“DS2” is a Future album full of his signature trap sounds and dark vibes. There are some really strong tracks that showcase his style and flow well. The issue is that not all songs keep the same level – some feel repetitive or too long, which reduces the overall impact. It’s still an interesting project, but with clear weaker moments.
“Melt My Eyez See Your Future” is an interesting project from Denzel, where he experiments and shows a more reflective side of himself. There are some really strong moments – his flow is still impressive, and the production creates a nice atmosphere. The issue comes with cohesion – a few tracks don’t quite fit, making the album lose some impact as a whole. It’s still a solid piece of work, just not one that completely blows you away.
“Bad Vibes Forever” unfortunately doesn’t live up to X’s earlier projects. Without his direct involvement, the music feels stripped of the raw emotion that made his work so powerful. There are moments that hint at his talent, but overall the album lacks cohesion and that unique spark he brought when he was alive. As a result, it feels weak compared to his previous releases.
“Jackboys” by Travis Scott is a really solid, diverse project that captures the energy of the whole collective and delivers some great tracks. Travis proves he can bring people together and create a record with a consistent vibe from start to finish. The issue is its short length – it ends too quickly and leaves you wanting more. On top of that, the remix of “Highest in the Room” feels unnecessary, especially since it’s clearly weaker than the original.
“A GHETTO CHRISTMAS CAROL EP” finds X in a style that fits him perfectly – raw beats, short format, and a distinctive atmosphere that stands out. Still, compared to “17,” it clearly lacks the emotional depth and honesty that gave that project its power. The EP has its energy and strong moments, but it doesn’t carry the same weight of emotion, leaving the listener slightly unsatisfied.
“A Love Letter to You 2” shows Trippie at a point where he starts to feel a bit repetitive. The style from the first installment is continued, but instead of freshness, there’s a sense of fatigue. The energy that made the debut so captivating isn’t as strong here. There are still good moments and emotional hooks, but overall, it doesn’t hit as hard as the original and at times even drags a little.
“Cherry Bomb” is an album full of moments that show Tyler’s huge potential and his willingness to experiment. Production-wise, it’s one of his wildest projects – distorted beats, sudden mood shifts, and lots of chaos. The issue is that the chaos doesn’t always work in his favor. You can tell it’s not his prime yet, because alongside great tracks, there are others that feel more like sketches than fully realized ideas. It’s still an interesting and ... read more
“Starz” by Yung Lean could have been a groundbreaking record, but at times it gets stuck in too many similar ideas. The production is interesting, yet often lacks strong energy or contrast, leaving the overall project feeling somewhat sluggish. Even though there are a few standout tracks, it feels like Lean didn’t fully tap into his creative potential here.
“Lavender” by Yung Lean is a short project that, despite its brevity, still stumbles with a few flaws. There are flashes of interesting, experimental sounds, but the overall execution feels uneven and doesn’t leave a strong impact. It works more as a curiosity in his discography rather than a fully realized, polished album.
