Lil Nas X - HOLIDAY
75

I enjoyed this one a lot. Hope he isn't a one-hit wonder.

I don't think it is as good as some of the other snippets he has teased, but it's still really fun and bouncy. The beat is great and the hook is insanely catchy. I don’t think it’s one of the best songs of the year or anything, but it’s a good sign that he may have some solid releases going forward.

Also, “ I might bottom on the low, but I top shit” is so funny lmaoooo

Billie Eilish - Therefore I Am
85

Ok this is great. The bots weren't even wrong this time.

I get why people may not love it, but this is exactly what I want from her. A catchy pop banger with sooooooo much personality. The production is fantastic and Billie just sounds like she's having so much fun.

Kodak Black - Bill Israel
40

Can we go back to a time when Kodak Black was not putting out music?

I have literally never enjoyed a Kodak Black project.

I actually didn’t hate the first few songs and thought maybe I’d like this, but nah nothing else is good. The production is generally ok but that’s it. This doesn’t even deserve my time because it’s clear he didn’t put any of his into this.

$NOT - Beautiful Havoc
55

This is $NOT that interesting....(yeah ik...I’ll stop with the puns....)

I had seen $NOT’s name here and there, but I had never heard a song from him before listening to this. I was interested to listen to this after seeing the features on here though, and I was hoping it would connect with me. It doesn’t as much as I had hoped.

Beautiful Havoc is a pretty forgettable project that feels like it does everything it can to not stand out. Most of the time the songs are just ... read more

Bree Runway - 2000AND4EVA
70

I had never heard of Bree Runway, but I'm glad I saw this on here and checked it out.

2000AND4EVA is an incredibly enjoyable pop-rap project that blends genres and features some great production and energetic performances filled with personality from Bree Runway. There are some really good songs on here, and most of the features are solid too. Nothing on here is revolutionary, and I think she needs to develop more of a distinct sound going forward, but these flaws don't really take away from ... read more

Rico Nasty - OHFR?
90

Rico x 100 Gecs can't miss holy FUCK this is hard

This beat is genuinely the hardest shit I've heard in a while, and Rico brings an insane amount of energy, personality, and presence to the track. This has me so hype for her album next month

NLE Choppa - From Dark to Light
55

Choppa is now “woke”

Lol this isn’t bad but it’s being presented as if it’s a complete 180, but he’s still talking about killing people. It’s just that now the production is more melodic and smooth and he’s sprinkled in some anti-mask shit and covid conspiracies in there to make him seem “deep”. Don’t really see how this is anything all that different but whatever. The music isn’t terrible, but it’s not really what I ... read more

JPEGMAFIA - EP!
75

Do you think you know me?

As a compilation of singles its actually pretty good. I’d only heard a few of these singles before listening to this as a whole, and if you didn’t tell me I’d think it was a mixtape or something. It’s not the best thing I’ve ever heard, and there are some songs I don’t really like, but overall it’s a solid listen with some great highlights.

Jean Dawson - Pixel Bath
65

There’s a lot of potential shown and a lot of what’s on here is good, but it doesn’t feel fully fleshed out a lot of the time. The fusion of genres and styles on here is interesting, but there are just too many moments when the result feels a little underdeveloped.

Fav Tracks: Triple Double, Shiner, Dummy, Bruiseboy, Starface*, Policia, Clear Bones

Kylie Minogue - DISCO
70

I’m such a simp for disco music lmao

This is yet another great disco album in 2020. The music on here is just so fun, and the production and songwriting are catchy as fuckkkkkkkk. Is it a groundbreaking album? No, but it doesn’t have to be. It follows a pretty standard disco formula, which isn’t a necessarily a bad thing because it works on here. Sure, a few of these songs could have been cut and some sort of blend together, but it’s just a fun disco album. It’s ... read more

The Kid LAROI - F*CK LOVE (SAVAGE)
55

I should love this. I’m exactly who this is aimed at. I love when emo trap is done well, I’m around The Kid LAROI’s age, I’m white, and a lot of people I know think this is really good. So why doesn’t this connect with me?

It’s simple: there’s just nothing to this.

I definitely don’t hate this project, and I think his sound has potential, but as of now he just has no identity. The only thing I can really say about his music is that it just ... read more

King Von - Welcome to O'Block
65

RIP King Von.

He clearly had a lot of potential and it showed on here. He had some great beat selection and he managed to stand out on here with a lot of energy amongst a lane of identity-less trap artists. It’s truly sad that we won’t get to hear him progress as an artist.

Swae Lee, Tyga & Lil Mosey - Krabby Step [Music From "Spongebob On The Run" Movie]
NR

Ayo why the fuck do I unironically love this?

The Spongebob theme of the lyrics is honestly hilarious, and the beat fucking slaps. This is great idc idc

NAV - Emergency Tsunami
60

Fuck Nevada it’s NAVada now

Emergency Tsunami is probably NAV’s most interesting project sonically and production wise, but predictably it has nothing to do with NAV. Wheezy should have given these beats to someone else because he went off.

I’ve never been a huge NAV fan, but I’m definitely not a NAV hater either. I have enjoyed some of his music in the past, but his music is usually so boring and I definitely see his flaws. I try so hard to give him a chance but he ... read more

Maluma & The Weeknd - Hawái (Remix)
70

El fin de semana

I wasn’t really feeling this until Abel started singing the hook in Spanish, and then when Maluma came in I went right back to being disinterested. This song isn’t bad and the hook is decent but it’s kinda a snooze.

clipping. - Say the Name
95

What a fucking song.

Between the stellar production and David DIggs' great storytelling verses, this is the kind of music I want clipping. to make, as this is where they truly shine. What a way to start the album too.

The vocal sample and the bass line is ridiculously catchy and is a great foundation for the skeletal drums that are laid on top. The drums start off simple, but the delays. reverbs, and panning added on top give them an extra layer and rhythm. The production also builds as the ... read more

J. Cole - KOD
78

With the rumors of J. Cole dropping an album soon (possibly tonight), and Lil Pump endorsing Trump for clout, I thought it would be a great time to revisit this album, which I call J. Cole’s attempt at making DAMN. by Kendrick Lamar.

I used to think J. Cole was one of the best rappers out currently. My opinion has changed over the years, as I now view him as incredibly corny. I still think he has talent and that 2014 FHD is a great album, but I no longer have him in the best rapper ... read more

Busta Rhymes - Extinction Level Event 2: The Wrath of God
65

Busta’s animated deliveries, the solid production, and the usually great features sadly aren’t enough to make this as interesting a listen as it could be due to the unnecessary
album length.

This album didn’t need to be this long. It could have been cut in half and still achieved the same message while being even better and more concise. Yes there are standouts, but there’s just too many ok or filler songs to make this as good as it could be as it just drags on at ... read more

YG - FDT
NR

My anthem for today. If you can, please vote. FDT

This is one of the few anti-Trump songs that actually works and doesn’t come off as incredibly preachy or corny. Nipsey’s verse is great too. Sadly, this song is still relevant, but hopefully it won’t be relevant anymore after January 20th.

food house - food house
65

*Insert 100 Gecs joke here*

I had never heard of Food House, but the praise I saw for this made me check it out. I’m typically not a huge fan of the PC Music scene, but I do appreciate a good album or song when it’s done well. And although I don’t love this, I’m glad I checked it out.

This album is an entertaining listen, even if I don’t love everything on here. There is a lot to like though, as the production is pretty great and the songwriting is catchy as ... read more

She very clearly is having fun and having a song called Princess Diana after the memes of her being modern day Princess Diana and having many of the lyrics that she does on here shows her personality to me. 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."
