This isn't even rap anymore Edward. Straight spoken word over the most beautiful ambient/rage/trap beat you'll ever hear. Wow man, this is an impressive first listen. BY FAR his most experimental and weird listen yet (and that says alot after MM). Also, LOTS of stuff to go back to from this, came away with 20/26 first listen. Alot of the ones I didn't get were simply because it was so out there I need more listens.

Best songs:
Slavery, Mercay, CIO, TOTL, Ariana, Bella Hadid

Oh nah Vince in a Punk era…this album might be one of those ones. I can already tell there’s a lot of play to be had here it just sounds so crispy and Vince is really showing his abilities here to make a playful, and somewhat comedic performance meaningful

That first song is genuinely perfect. If this is a sneak peak for the next album then count me in. RIB Encore is among one of my favorite rage albums and lowkey on my list as one of my favorites IN GENERAL. I wonder how he’s going to build off that masterclass of the rage genre.

First Song -100
Second Song- 80

Petition for Iron Maiden self titled must-hear! This is arguably one of the most important IM records since it is the start of their long and successful careers. Also, the singing on this is great, blessing us with some passionate vocals. Instrumentation is varied and seemingly adapts to whatever the singer wants it to be. Man, I just have a soft spot for every song on here. I love the more "punk" Iron Maiden albums and wish they would go back to this one more time even if I prefer ... read more

This isn't bad per se, but could've been way better, knowing how great both these rappers can be. diamond* was bringing great performances for the whole album, meanwhile Tezzus was lagging for much of it. Also, a lot of the mixing is weird, just as many mainstream adjacent releases are now. Like, how is No Idols far better mixed than this even without the connection with Young Thug???? A lot of the features were questionable too, not a big Rylo or Nino paid guy. Despite this, almost ... read more

That first song is so smooth omgggggg. His voice just fits rap I can’t lie. Second song a little worse but still fun

One of my fav streamers should stick to that. Such a funny song tho😭

This song is so catchy. I can't wait for this one over Summer, it's gonna be an anthem. Hopefully this means new album soon?????

Extremely strong live performance by one of my favorite artists this year thus far! This live performance is so amazing. Adding rock elements to “Call From My Dream” songs was a great touch. Shower duty live is her best song, the emotion that evokes is immense. Just a great show and something I revisit for sure. She just doesn’t drop anything that misses the mark ever I suppose.

Best Songs: Shower Duty, beepboopbeepboop, Mikael

Nine uses his powerful resources to bring together a really solid project. Best pure rage album of the year so far for me. It’s his best yet in my eyes, loads of content here to unpack. Plenty of sounds he’s going into too. As a new-ish Nine fan this is something I really can appreciate. He can really get into a slow bag too I didn’t know that.

Best Songs: Fashion Killa, Purple Swag, Sunset Hill,Talk about it, Life’s Funny

This is actually a great underground album. I love the transitions, beats, flows, energy. Nine is really great at music but not great at being likeable😂. This is real music, EMOTIONS TONIGHT🔥🔥

Best Songs: Co-Sign, New Means, Face, Hurt Sum, Mobb Deep

One of my favorite albums of this decade along with her other album!!!! Man all these songs are just so beautiful and the melodies show through. The lyrics are really great too when you look into them. This album is definitely part of the reason she is my most listened to artist this year. She’s one of those ones I swear.

Best Songs: Supernova, I open the window instead of the closed door, Mikael, When our hearts beat at the same pace

Some of the greatest instrumentals you will ever find on any album of the time and in general, “Remain in Light” is one of those albums that is so amazing and pushing a great message with it. Now with this album, there is lots to dissect, which I love. This dissection comes with loads of fun to be had with this album, David Byrne is one of my all time vocalists because of his “out there” vocals. Man…just the first five track run is insane then the last three are ... read more

Really solid EP with a way different sound. Bruh, tracks 1, 2, and 5 are great, but 3,4 are lacking behind imo. Kittens is a fire ass track tho I love that one.

Best Songs: Promoting Violence, Kittens

Wow! My first Slayyyter album and this exceeded my expectations completely. I don’t hear any of the singles but saw all the buzz about them, this caused me to be interested in the album. This strikes me as a more abrasive/aggressive Brat. Leaning into more hard techno than I thought it would. Man, some of these drops are ABSOLUTELY INSANE too. I can only imagine this at the raves and shit. Really great piece of work and will get lots of play!

Best Songs: CRANK, DANCE…, YES GODDD, ... read more

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but ye actually made a really solid project here holy shit. Now the mixing sometimes is kind of grating, which has become the norm for Ye releases. Now the songs themselves are really good. I love the samples and also the drums on a lot of these songs sound crisp. This is what I expect from Ye really and a great album after Donda (let’s just forget about Vultures era)

Best Songs: FATHER, ALL THE LOVE, BULLY, LAST BREATH

This is just some hard ass music from the AS2 era it sounds like. I really enjoy a lot of these songs. He’s flowing, with some funny lyrics. My discography goat Chief Keef is back supplying us with plenty of bangers I love it!!!! I will always invite new keef to add to my playlist fr!

Best Songs: 24 HRS, Breaking Down, Mark of Buddha, Doja (one of my grails)

Bro both of these are perfect I don’t care🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

Based on first listen, this is quite a lot to take in. Will be putting in full thoughts soon. But this is how you do a mainstream album release. Refreshing in comparison to some other sloppily made albums. A lot of effort was put in.

Best Songs: Purpose General, LIV Like Dis, My Time

Okay so I’m at a conflict here where idk if I prefer this or Bloodluxe😂😂. Nah but in all seriousness, this album is absolutely insane. How each track meshes perfectly into the next. I expected a better, more polished version of Stunt or Die 3 and man I got that and even more. The energy here is just absolutely insane and then at the end we have more mellow pop punk style songs to add to his growing discography. Dude what an album, Ezcodylee is next up for sure.

Best Songs:
SHUT UP ... read more
