Tyler, The Creator - LUMBERJACK
90

LETS GOOOO NEW TYLER AND ITS A RAP BANGER!!!

This slaps so hard. The beat is crazy, the hook goes hard, and Tyler is just talking his shit all over this song. I also love the DJ Drama tags and the mixtape-esque feel that this song has. I can see this being the Who Dat Boi of this upcoming album, as that was also the first single. I can also see people not loving this as much as other singles of his, but I’m loving it and loving this direction.

Tyler, The Creator is one of the most ... read more

Little Simz - Rollin Stone
80

While it’s for sure the most different of the singles she has released so far, this is definitely my last favorite of the three. I still like it though, and I’m still ridiculously excited for the album.

I absolutely loved the lead single “Introvert”, and it will probably be in my top 5 singles of the year. I loved her next single “Woman” feat. Cleo Sol as well, but it didn’t quite reach the level of “Introvert” for me, even if it was a ... read more

Migos - Culture III
55

This was such an infuriatingly boring listen.

I’ve liked Migos in the past, specifically Culture, but even Culture 2 to an extent. Yeah, Culture 2 was ridiculously long, and it completely threw away the shorter and concise project that Culture was for a long and bloated tracklist that didn't need to be that long, but there were some great highlights on that album that made it a somewhat decent record. But I was worried about what they would do next, especially with as many boring ... read more

Polo G - Hall of Fame
60

Similar to his last project, this album has some solid highlights and shows glimpses of his potential, but it unfortunately gets weighed down by some weak production choices, some bad mixing, and the unnecessarily long album length.

I’ve thought Polo G had some potential in the past, but I didn’t think either of his projects had really capitalized on it. I was hopeful that this album could, but I didn’t love the singles, and when the 20-track tracklist was announced I got ... read more

Megan Thee Stallion - Thot Shit
75

“Thot Shit” is an enjoyable track from Megan, but it doesn’t stand out like some of her other singles have. The beat is good but not great, and while Megan’s verses have a lot of energy and personality, the hook is not very good.

And while I do like this song, it has me a little worried for whatever Megan does next. I’ve enjoyed a lot of Megan’s music in the past, but this song just kind of feels like a lot of other things shes done before. I mean, ... read more

Doja Cat - Need To Know
70

Edit: Just found out Dr. Luke was involved with this song….fuck Dr. Luke

While I do think this song is solid, it’s kinda disappointing as a single, as it feels more like a throwaway or middle of the album track than a single.

And yes, I know that Doja Cat said this wasn’t supposed to be a “big single” or anything. But it’s being released before the album with a music video, so she might not wanna call it a single but it’s being treated as one. And ... read more

90

*insert meme about her ass on the cover here*

Lorde’s return single isn’t her best song or anything, and I definitely don’t expect it to blow people away like her best tracks have, but it’s still a great summer song and an unexpected but nice change of pace that I can see myself playing a lot.

I haven’t explored Lorde’s discography as much as I should have, but I have heard many of her singles and have thought they were all great. I just have never gotten ... read more

Bo Burnham - Inside (The Songs)
80

JEFFREY BEZOS (YOU DID IT!)
JEFFREY BEZOS (CONGRATULATIONS!)

Inside (the full special) has been incredibly important to me recently, and That Funny Feeling is genuinely my favorite song of the year so far. I obviously love the rest of the album/special as well, but specifically that one song always hits me so hard. I think hearing the songs just by themselves is a little less of an experience than the actual special, but hearing this as an album is still fantastic.

Bo Burnham is probably one ... read more

Joy Oladokun - In Defense of My Own Happiness
65

This isn’t a bad album at all, and I do think it’s overall pretty enjoyable, but it’s just a little disappointing considering her talent.

I discovered Joy Oladokun’s music through Jensen McRae, who was featured on “wish you the best”, one of the singles from this album. That song is one of my favorite songs of the year so far, and it put Joy Oladokun on my radar. I was anticipating this album and was hoping it would be a great record, and while it is solid, ... read more

Tom MacDonald - Snowflakes
0

Yes I know, yet another 0 from me to Mr. Tom MacDonald. How predictable. But this song is especially bad, especially because of his use of the r slur.

I would really like to ignore Tom MacDonald and pretend that nobody cares about him, but the reality is that he has an audience that thinks he is great. I mean, just look at the like to dislike ratio on YouTube. At the time of this review, the video is also #4 trending for music, and Ben Shapiro tweeted about him. So while I’d love to not ... read more

Tkay Maidza - Cashmere
85

I’m so happy that this is so good. Definitely my favorite of the singles we’ve heard so far from “Last Year Was Weird, Vol. 3”.

I really enjoyed Tkay Maidza’s project from last year, as it showed a lot of talent and potential. It ended up being in my year end list, and I still return to that project a lot. Going forward though, I was hoping she would continue to build on the momentum from her last record. Because of this, I was really excited for LYWW3, and while ... read more

Pa Salieu - Glidin'
75

This collaboration between Pa Salieu and Slowthai exceeds my expectations and is one of the most catchy and enjoyable tracks I’ve heard this year in this lane.

I obviously have enjoyed a lot of Slowthai’s music recently, but nothing I had heard from Pa Salieu had wowed me. I heard his album from last year, and while I thought it was decent, it ended up being a little forgettable. But this track is great and surprised me. The production is smooth and catchy, and both Pa Salieu and ... read more

Jasiah - Art Of War
80

What a fucking banger. Or as Denzel puts it, “the type of shit to make you curb stomp a newborn baby”.

Art of War is just a really well-executed track that absolutely nails the aggressive trap vibe. With Denzel Curry and Rico Nasty on the same song, I already knew going into this that it was going to go hard, but I didn’t know that it was going to be THIS hard. The beat on here is crazy, Jasiah actually comes through with a really solid performance and a great hook, and both ... read more

Lil Baby & Lil Durk - The Voice of the Heroes
70

If you told me a year ago that I would actually somewhat enjoy a collab album from Lil Baby & Lil Durk, I would have laughed at you and thought you were completely insane. But here we are, and here it is, and I do actually enjoy it quite a bit.

Over the last year, Lil Baby has started slowly growing on me. I actually think Lil Baby has really stepped it up and has been one of the most consistent rappers of 2021. His features have been pretty good, and his solo songs have gotten much better ... read more

Roddy Ricch - late at night
75

While this is a solid single, it’s pretty disappointing as the return single from Roddy Ricch.

I’ve been a really Roddy Ricch fan since I first heard “Die Young”, and his debut album “Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial” was better than I ever could have hoped it would be. It was one of the better melodic trap projects I had heard in a while, and it fully established Roddy Ricch as a star in rap music. So how is the first big single since?

Well ... read more

Wolf Alice - Blue Weekend
75

I had never heard anything from Wolf Alice before, and I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this, but this is a truly great album. Not everything connects with me, but when a song on here does connect with me, it ends up being fantastic. I already really like this, but I can see this whole album growing on me even more for sure.

Edit: After a few more listens, this is already starting to grow on me even more. Even the moments that didn't necessarily connect with me on the first or ... read more

Japanese Breakfast - Jubilee
89

With Jubilee, Japanese Breakfast has somehow managed to exceed my already high expectations and deliver a insanely infectious and concise album that is definitely one of the best of the year.

I had never heard of Japanese Breakfast before, but I heard “Be Sweet” as a single and it immediately became one of my favorite songs of the year. I really liked the next two singles as well (“Posing In Bondage” and “Savage Good Boy”), but they didn’t click with ... read more

Denzel Curry - Bad Luck
20

Denzel what the fuck are you doing lmao. This never needed to see the light of day.

This is easily, and I mean EASILY, the worst song I’ve heard from him. This song is so laughable and bad that it somehow loops all the way back around and kinda turns to being funny. It’s the kinda song you play ironically in the car to annoy your friends with or something. That’s the level that this is on. At least it’s only for a soundtrack and not for his own project (I hope at ... read more

Billie Eilish - Lost Cause
80

I like this song, but it’s probably my least favorite of the singles, and I’m not really seeing what made this single-worthy. Also, this is yet another strange single choice and a weird middle of the week release date from her. Interscope, what is this rollout??

While I have loved all of the singles for the new album, the reception wasn’t as positive for them. I was hoping there could be a big single from this album, and this single kinda needed to be great in order to keep ... read more

Mustafa - When Smoke Rises
75

When Smoke Rises isn't amazing and can be a little one-dimensional, but nevertheless this is still a very impressive and promising album that puts Mustafa’s talent and potential on full display.

I had heard of Mustafa, and I already had heard Air Forces before hearing this album, but I didn’t know much else about Mustafa. I wasn’t a big fan of Air Forces as a single though, but when deciding if I wanted to listen to this album, I listened to the song again and it clicked with ... read more

The production also at times has personality, but I don’t think she’s devoid of it just because she kinda does the same thing over and over."
