Veeze - Y’all Won
70

A compilation of leaks and yet he's still running laps around his peers.

fakemink - Terrified .
60

Tries to be deeper than it actually is but there are some undeniable heaters such as "Like A Virgin" and "Creep" that tell me he's still got it.

Drake - HABIBTI
80

R&B Drake is eternal forever. "Prioritizing" is one of the coolest songs Drake has ever made.

Drake - MAID OF HONOUR
70

Ya'll can never make me hate Sexy Redd, and as someone who really enjoyed Honestly Nevermind, I'm happy he continued that sound for a second album.

Drake - ICEMAN
80

It's honestly great to see so much divisiveness with Drake albums, can't remember the last time a major artist consistently doing that. Drake is at a point in his career where he doesn't need to prove anything, he's having fun and it's honestly refreshing to hear. The production here actually feels varied compared to "Her loss" and "CLB" which imo is a major improvement.

LUCKI - Dr*gs R Bad
50

There are a few songs here where I can tell lucki is trying but the production isn't working to his favor. I can understand wanting to switch things up when you hang around with Rylo and Veeze but it doesn't play to his strengths and feels lackluster on a 20 track album.

Kehlani - Kehlani
80

Kehlani is in her bag on this one. There are a number of features on here but for the most part, they are positive additions here.

SINN6R - #FEDERAL
80

Hard as hell beats and flows on this.

OsamaSon - psykotic
82

I still like Jumpout but THIS is the quality I was expecting from Osamason

Jeff Buckley - Grace
95

For the last few months, I've been listening to Jeff Buckley for the first time, and I'm in shock at how much I've connected with his music. I really did not expect to love music like this, but this is some of the most emotional songwriting and production I've ever heard.

Mk.gee - Two Star & The Dream Police
85

I know I'm very late to Mk.Gee, but I finally came around to listening to this and yea this album was made for me.

Lunchbox - L.B. Cooper
80

Lunchbox casually drops another tape with crazy pockets and beats, easily one of my favorite artists of the last few years.

Playboi Carti - MUSIC
90

There’s a reason Carti has been my top 3 artist for a decade. No one at his level is making an album with production and vocals like this. Also OPM BABI is one of his best songs.

Bloody! - So Wavy Luciano
80

Really loving this tape a lot, the player's club tape he dropped last year had a lot of the early 2010s cloud production and this is a really good follow-up to that sound. Definitely my favorite tape I've heard from him.

SahBabii - Saaheem
85

Undeniably one of the best albums to drop this year. Production is on point and Sahbabii’s flows have just got better over the years. He’s really one of the best to ever do it.

Hi-C - SGT-HI-C
80

Blood Fiend might be my favorite Hi C song, genuinely one of the most beautiful tracks I've heard this year.

Lunchbox - Lunchtime.
85

I’ll be completely honest I wasn’t feeling this album on first listen as much as I was with New Jazz. I gotta say though after revisiting this I think this is an even bigger step up in production and flows, amazing album.

Che - Sayso Says
80

Easily some of the best beats I’ve heard this year, Che is on one.

Jaeychino - WATCH THE THRONE
85

Cool to see cloud rap influences in DMV rap, fire album.

RRoxket - Red Ranger
90

I’ve been listening to this nonstop for the last month. RRoxket’s flows and the way he always alters his vocal inflections in a way where every song sticks in my head is impressive especially when most of these songs are 2 minutes at max. The beats on this are really great and honestly some of them are pretty weird like “Cane” or “Sword”, creepy beats that somehow get stuck in my head and RRoxket is just flowing even when the beat gets pulled back and ... read more

On Travis Scott - UTOPIA
"@Neropeloso I listened to it again I think he can do better honestly Ik Travis has been Kanye’s prodigy for the longest and I’m not against trying the things that worked for Ye back in the day but he really doesn’t have the personality to pull that off it feels forced honestly. I definitely do not want him going back to some old sound that worked for him 8 years ago I still want him to evolve just not to the point where it’s obvious who he’s being influenced by."

On Lil Yachty - Let's Start Here.
"@rionbj It's cool that yachty has a big enough platform to try something like this but it doesn't work. You quite literally did not read what I said because what made him popular was the first lil boat and I was using a tape he put out in 2020 which actually helped diversify himself as a rapper."
On Lil Yachty - Let's Start Here.
"@JURI I mean I can't speak to every pop artist but yachty has continuously been hated since 2016, everyone thought he was a joke and he came out and said this album was supposed to make people take him seriously as an artist. That's what annoys me he doesn't need to abandon genres for people to take him seriously he's already established himself in the Rap genre, and there's obviously room to grow within that genre."
