This is what artistic bankruptcy sounds like
Trippie Redd is a copycat, not a chameleon, a copycat. Didn’t we hear this album last year with Lil Uzi Vert’s Eternal Atake? Not only is Trip At Knight’s cybernetic soundscape a carbon copy of Uzi’s work but it’s it seems as though Trippie found one song he loved and cloned it 10 times. Plaguing this album are a series of cybernetic synth stabs that vary barely enough to notice a new song but not enough to be sure you ... read more

Quick one, and the last one for a little bit here. Your boy has finals and a website and podcast to run.
I thought Miley Cyrus was done, her past few efforts have been mediocre at best and tragic at worst. But in the most unpredictable switch up of 2020 Cyrus has come back with a rock album. It’s one with muddy guitars here, glamorous Synths there and broken relationships everywhere. Song after song Cyrus shows how fractured she and everyone she brings close is. Cynical, she pulls ... read more
Why switch it up when the same old style prints money? Year after year there’s hope Nav will switch up something, anything and year after year it never happens.
Robo voice? Check.
Same tired flows? Check.
Basic rhymes? Check.
Meandering bars? Check again.
Surprisingly great production? Check, check and check.
It’s actually amazing how consistently stale Nav is while riding the coattails of stellar beats.
Continuing a 2020 trend, Emergency Tsunami is solely produced by ... read more
This is what we call fire mid. I Really like the sentiment to this track, especially the line “this some shit I usually don’t do.” It’s just a testament to how often Ariana Grande would go out of her way for the partner she has so wholeheartedly fallen for. Grande’s voice is a little washed out and even while reading the lyrics along with the track he words are unintelligible. The classic 00’s R&B guitar, violin and crickets are a very nice touch though. ... read more
Okay I’m buried in midterms/work/the podcast so I’m gonna make this really short and sweet.
Benny the Butcher is a 90’s hip hop revivalist but he’s missing the most crucial part of the 90’s, the lyricism. He has the swagger, the drug dealing past and the boom bap to back him up but not the bars. While its known Benny used to be a prolific drug dealer in Buffalo it’s a note he harps on, on every track as if he hasn’t mentioned it in every song before. ... read more
It’s your boy's birthday so this’ll be a brisk one.
You can only drill for so long. Headie One has been making drill since 2014 and that’s 6 long years. Eventually an artist wants to spread their wings and EDNA is that space. EDNA is a drill album but only on the surface, beneath the first handful of songs is a wide ranging project that touches a plethora of sounds. It’s a testament to One’s versatility that he approaches different realms but it’s a double ... read more
