After the huge success of If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late and the collaboration with Future on What a Time to Be Alive, Drake came back with Views, an album that further solidified his position as a global superstar. With Views, he truly established himself at the top of the mainstream hip-hop and pop worlds. This is an album that feels massive, and while it’s maybe a bit too large, there are a lot of great moments on here. The tracks were literally everywhere in ... read more

The Divine Feminine is yet another fine record from Mac, and one that stands out in his discography for its soulfulness and more experimental nature. It feels like Mac stepping into a more vulnerable, emotional space, centred around love, intimacy, and the presence of women in his life. There’s a certain warmth running through the album that makes it feel personal and honest.

Sonically, Mac explores a more soulful sound here, and it works really well. It’s a concise and cohesive ... read more

Are we talking about one of the best albums of all time? Yes. Absolutely.

To Pimp a Butterfly is a masterpiece. It’s perfect. It’s flawless. With this album, Kendrick delivered a true and meaningful statement. A socially critical, deeply introspective, and emotionally charged project that hits harder the more you listen to it.

Coming off the back of another perfect album—good kid, m.A.A.d city—Kendrick could’ve played it safe. But he didn’t. Instead, he ... read more

Wow, just wow.

And just like that, Bon Iver drops another record that hits straight in the chest. SABLE, fABLE is everything you’d hope for from Justin Vernon—tender, emotional, beautifully written—and somehow still fresh, even after more than a decade of redefining what Bon Iver can sound like.

The project is split into two discs, and that structure really works. The first half, SABLE, was released upfront and offers a more stripped-back, intimate sound. It’s ... read more

There’s just something so soothing about Lana's voice—it instantly puts you at ease. This track is tender, beautiful, and touching.

Does it bring anything we haven’t already heard from her? Not really. But that’s not a big deal at all. She's doing what she does best, and she does that really well. And she shows again that she's a great songwriter. And that's a gift.

Overall, it’s a nice song that definitely gets me excited for what's to ... read more

I guess he loves his bitch, and I think that's beautiful.
But the track just doesn't offer enough unfortunately. It's okay, it's listenable, but nothing particularly exciting. Just OK, nothing more.

Aminé’s new single feels like summer’s already here. It’s bouncy and playful, his flow is engaging, he floats over this beat, and the whole track just makes you want to bop your head and move.

It’s light, it’s fun, and honestly, it already sounds like a song that’ll be on repeat all summer long.

As expected, this Quavo & Lil Baby single doesn't offer anything new at all. Lil Baby & Quavo flow as always, but is it really exciting? Not really. The beat is OK, their performances are OK, the song is listenable, but it's just nothing special.

WU-TANG IS BACK
GRISELDA IN THE MIX

Yet another great single ahead of the new collab project with Mathematics, "Black Samson, the Bastard Swordsman":

Wu-Tang’s back again, and this one feels like a proper throwback. The beat is grimy, and Method Man brings his signature energy and delivery he built his name on. The whole track feels like a cold New York alley in the middle of winter—dark, ominous, and raw. It’s eerie but heavy, and the verses cut through hard, with ... read more

And this is how you make a comeback. Ahead of their upcoming collab project with Mathematics, Wu-Tang drops Mandingo—and it’s full of nostalgia. They all sound as hungry as ever, proving that their talent hasn’t faded one bit.

They are simply timeless. The delivery, the grit, the hunger—it’s all still there. Mandingo hits hard and reminds you exactly why Wu-Tang is still a force.

Another strong single that only makes me more excited for Black Samson, the Bastard ... read more

So after their self-titled debut, which already hinted at the magic Queen was capable of, they came back with Queen II—and yeah, this is where things really started to click. You can just feel it. The sound is tighter, more focused, and way more confident. It’s like they really found who they wanted to be, and fully leaned into it. All that signature Queen drama, the theatrical energy, the big dynamic shifts—it’s all here, and it works so well.

What’s cool about ... read more

On his third album, PARTYNEXTDOOR 3, PND does exactly what he does best—providing that signature moody, dark-atmosphere, late-night vibe. It’s a sound that has become his trademark, and on this record, he dives further into it. His deep voice over the smooth R&B production results into these haunting and moody melodies that really stick with you. The mood is set right from the start, and it’s that perfect soundtrack for late nights, whether you're in your feels or ... read more

Lil Boat is a weird one. On one hand, it’s the project that put Lil Yachty on the map, and you can hear flashes of what made him such a unique presence in rap at the time. On the other hand, a lot of it is painfully generic trap music that doesn’t hold up well.

Yachty’s playful, offbeat approach to melodies and autotune works on some tracks, like Minnesota and One Night, where his carefree, almost childlike energy actually feels refreshing. But beyond that, a lot of the ... read more

Summer Songs 2 is a tough listen—not because it’s challenging or experimental, but because it’s just plain and boring. Lil Yachty was still finding his sound at this point, and it really shows. The mixtape is loaded with repetitive flows, uninspired beats, and tracks that blur together without much to hold onto.

It’s not outright terrible, but it’s definitely forgettable. Yachty has proven later on that he can do way better than this, and in hindsight, Summer ... read more

There are albums… and then there are albums that change everything. The Dark Side of the Moon is such an album, because it isn’t just another album by the prog-rock band – it’s a culture-defining moment, a whole damn universe. It’s one of those rare pieces of art that makes you stop and think, How the hell did they even make this? Pink Floyd didn’t just create an album—they built an entire, full-fledged, sonic experience. An immersive journey that ... read more

Man… following up one of the best debut albums of all time isn’t easy—but Led Zeppelin did it, and they did it fast. Just nine months after their first record, they dropped Led Zeppelin II, and honestly, it’s nothing short of incredible. While it doesn’t drastically shift away from the debut’s sound, it tightens everything. It’s more confident, more refined. It feels like they’d fully found their groove—and then absolutely ran with ... read more

Five years after the fine and enjoyable Audio, Video, Disco, the French electronic duo Justice returned with Woman, and while it might not reach the same heights as their iconic debut album Cross, it's still a very fine record. I mean, let’s be real—it’s difficult to reach the level of greatness of Cross, so that’s not fair. But let's focus on Woman itself, because it has a lot to offer.

The duo continues to showcase their talent for creating beautifully ... read more

Funky, groovy, entertaining. 99.9% is everything you'd want from a KAYTRANADA album. With this debut album, he really put himself on the map as a producer with a distinct sound, blending house, R&B, hip hop, and funk into this infectious groove that just makes you want to move.

What makes 99.9% work so well is not just the sound, but the flow. Every track transitions so naturally, even though the features and vibes vary a lot. One second you’re vibing with Anderson .Paak on ... read more

Nine Track Mind is the musical equivalent of that one person who won’t stop trying to impress you but just ends up making everything awkward. It’s corny, it’s painfully generic, and at times, it feels like a parody of itself.

Charlie Puth has talent—there’s no denying that—but this album does everything in its power to smother it under layers of uninspired songwriting and cheese. The production is lifeless, the lyrics are cringe-worthy, and the whole thing ... read more

Drip Season is rough, very rough—there’s no way around it. If we’re being real, it might just be Gunna’s worst project. It’s dull, uninspired, and just very lacklustre. Nothing about it really stands out, from the production to the songwriting. It’s like he was still trying to find his sound but hadn’t quite figured out what makes him ‘Gunna’ yet.

The whole thing feels like a complete blur—track after track of forgettable beats and ... read more
