Drake - MAID OF HONOUR
34

Drake, I beg you to NEVER do House music anymore for the sake of everybody. Thanks

Mos Def - The Ecstatic
94

Such a shame this isn't on streaming. Auditorium would probably be on repeat for me forever.

Favs: Auditorium, Pretty Dancer, History

A$AP Rocky - Don't Be Dumb
86

Honestly, after 8 years this lived up to my expectations. Not anything crazy, but it feels like a much better executed TESTING. it's got some great production, good features, great verses and an overall good vibe to it with the experimental production he went for.
Was it worth waiting 8 years? No, but I feel like it still delivered on most of the tracks.

Dunno what the hell Doechii was doing on ROBBERY though, made me uncomfortable asf otherwise that was an okay song. STFU is just POP OUT ... read more

J. Cole - The Fall-Off is Inevitable
88

THIS IS THE J. COLE I DESPERATELY NEEDED AGAIN

A$AP Rocky - PUNK ROCKY
89

WE’RE SO BACK

21 Savage - WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STREETS?
49

Was overall just boring and made me want to go to bed already.

Nas - Light-Years
86

Great stuff from this duo. Felt a little “samey” with the production at the end but overall good listen for the night.

Mac Miller - Balloonerism
91

No idea why I put off this project for so long... there are so many bangers that I was missing out on.

ROSALÍA - LUX
90

Definitely lives up to the hype, that's for sure.

LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
98

Went for a walk today and listened to this… my goodness it was packed for only 9 songs. Elevated my walking experience to a whole another level.

Favs: Get Innocous!, Someone Great, All My Friends
Least fav: probably Sound of Silver

Drake - Take Care
85

Peak old Drake. All the bangers here make this a certified aux classic. Wish Crew Love was still a solo Weeknd song tho cause Drake is kinda iffy on it.

Favs: Headlines, Crew Love, Lord Knows, The Motto (if including Deluxe)
Underrated: Shot For Me
Least fav: Make Me Proud

A Tribe Called Quest - We got it from Here... Thank You 4 Your service
92

Legendary final album release. Great features and the sounds were extremely unique.

Favs: We The People..., Solid Wall of Sound, Conrad Tokyo, Ego
Least fav: N/A

A Tribe Called Quest - The Love Movement
68

While most of the tracks were passable, it was just so "okay" that it felt boring to go through this album (including bonus tracks).

A Tribe Called Quest - Beats, Rhymes and Life
89

One of the more underrated Tribe albums, imo.

A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders
96

Hot take: I find this album better than the Low End Theory. Not to deny the excellence that TLET has, that is still absolutely amazing. I just prefer the sounds they went for here on Midnight Marauders.

Favs: Award Tour, Electric Relaxation, The Chase Part II
Least fav: N/A

A Tribe Called Quest - People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm
85

I love the energy Q-Tip, Phife and Jarobi bring to this album, plus the upbeat jazzy beats make it even better. It's obviously not perfect (a song like Ham 'N' Eggs comes to mind with it's subject) but that's what makes it awesome.

Favs: Bonita Applebum, Can I Kick It?, Push It Along
Least fav: Ham 'N' Eggs

Earl Sweatshirt - solace
96

Listening to this at 1 am was a terrifying and frankly chilling experience. Earl’s depressive lyrics and the distorted, downbeat sounds showcased throughout the 5 “parts” shook me throughout this 10 minute listen.

It kind of feels like one or two songs from IDLSIDGO (particularly Grief) just grew out as it’s own separate entity and turned the soul-crushing bits up to eleven.

Playboi Carti - Whole Lotta Red
77

I've been waiting to try this album out for a WHILE. and it's decent. It has it's misses, but overall it's fine. I like the new sound Carti was going for here and some of the beats were pretty good. Feats were kinda disappointing though considering they are huge names in the industry.

Favs: ILoveUIHateU, Stop Breathing, Over
Least fav: JumpOutTheHouse

Pop Smoke - Meet The Woo 2
79

My first time listening to a full Pop Smoke album / mixtape, and everything hits HARD here. The feats are average but the beats are great. Sad we’ll never get anything like his unique voice and style ever again.

Favs: Dreaming, Dior, Shake The Room
Least fav: Sweetheart

21 Savage, Offset & Metro Boomin - Without Warning
80

Since it was spooky szn, I decided to check this out in full and wow. It really does fit the Halloween vibe with the beats Metro cooked up for the album. The features were just alright but everything else was decent.
