ሙላቱ አስታጥቄ [Mulatu Astatke] - Mulatu of Ethiopia
82

Solid jazz album with a great pallet. Highly recommend this.

Earl Sweatshirt - Live Laugh Love
86

Man it makes me so happy that he has found his peace. Earl's discog is so good but this is pure catharsis after years of the void.

JID - God Does Like Ugly
79

Idk I'm probably being a bitch but this project ain't click with me like his past work.

80

Skin Meadow is a crazy intro track. Intense, passionate, and gross. It's got killer theremin and horns.

Lily Pad Pupils has really cool blues chords. In general this project has a fantastic sound palate.

Leon Thomas - MUTT
78

Solid ass project. Mutt is a bop.

Joey Valence & Brae - NO HANDS
82

Bro wants some butt fr. Super fun; inspirations on their sleeves.

Kid Rock - Cocky
13

This is awful jfc. "Let me slip it in ya body" is crazy.

Picture would be a lot better if it was framed as him being the bad guy. She shouldn't be saying that she will change her ways cuz no details given paint her as anything other than a normal person while he's a drunk.

Cher Lloyd - Sticks + Stones
23

Forgotten pop star is right but it is no surprise that's the case. The writing is corporate bullshit. She not once plays to any of her strengths. She (or the record label) really wanted to be Nicki so baaad. Swagger Jagger is a legit candidate for the worst song ever made.

I will say though that this is a fun listen with a friend. It's so perfectly bad if you like torture.

Viper - You'll Cowards Don't Even Smoke Crack
66

Review #800!

Viper is an awful person but this was a classic.

Boldy James & The Alchemist - The Price of Tea in China
84

Typical production from Al. Boldy simply never misses. No matter what project of his I listen to he is so damn consistent. I can't remember if I have talked about this on another review or not but I really hate the arguments against him saying that he spits a bunch of bars that have no quotables. 1. because that just isn't true. He's got plenty of great punchlines. 2. The vibe of his music is more what I fuck with than anything else.

JJ DOOM - Key to the Kuffs
60

Carried heavy by Guv'nor cuz that DOOM flow is unreal.

xxyyxx - XXYYXX
68

Decent tape that would be better as an EP with only half these tracks on it.

Rejjie Snow - Baw Baw Black Sheep
65

I really like how I learned about Rejjie Snow from Clairo and DOOM. There are a few good songs on this but it isn't anything special. Good vibes doe.

SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE - Pleasure Suck
75

Insane listening experience.

Snail Mail - Lush
86

Still holds up really well. Great indie pop album.

Pristine, Heat Wave, and Stick are amazing.

Tupperwave - To you baby, with love
84

This shit needs a must listen tag so bad. One of the best Future Funk albums ever.

BROCKHAMPTON - SATURATION
72

This was one of my favorite albums in high school but on revisiting it I am wondering what happened. There are parts that I really like but others that are literally unlistenable. GOLD, FACE, and WASTE are still really fucking good but most of what's here is really mid to bad. The talent disparity in the group is really apparent here. Decent songs will just be fucking ruined by an awful ending or there will be a part in the middle of a song that throws everything off. The bad parts legit ... read more

XXXTENTACION - 17
67

A friend said that I should give this another listen so I am. I think that leaning more into the melodic side of his talent was a really smart decision. A lot of the problems that I have with X's music is that he tended to hold himself back with his pen. He tends to try too hard and ends up not saying anything that doesn't come off melodramatic.

I really do not like the Trippie feature on this. X does fine but the hook is really bad.

I really fuck with the production on this. The ... read more

Ski Mask the Slump God - STOKELEY
72

High ceiling and mid floor. Shit was so fire in high school and some of it still holds up well. One of my favorites of the SC era.
