The Scythe - Strictly 4 The Scythe
75

I needed more Denzel Curry bro. He stole the show on every song he was on, he just needed to be on all of them

Baby Keem - Ca$ino
61

How do we go from family ties to Good Flirts

J. Cole - The Fall-Off
95

HE NAMED THE ALBUM THE FALL OFF, IT'S PRETTY IRONIC CAUSE IT AIN'T NO FALL OFF FOR HIM.

I'm sorry, I have to bring up Drake whenever I have the chance. I have had some time to sit with this album and I think I am ready to give an accurate review. This album is fantastic. While I feel it is a little longer than it needs to be, it is still great. For being nearly two hours long, there is little to no filler tracks on here. You can tell that Cole was very critical about which ... read more

Don Toliver - OCTANE
79

Solid listen.

Us rap fans have been absolutely spolied recently. Rocky dropping a couple weeks ago, Don dropping last night, and now J. Cole next week. This album was very solid and had very memorable moments.

This album is much of the same Don Toliver we have been hearing since the start of his career. Is it starting to get a little reptitive? Maybe. But he still manages to give us bangers in his tracklists, even if there is a little filler in there. This album has some of my favorite Don ... read more

A$AP Rocky - Don't Be Dumb
89

ROCKY IS BACK!!

Can't believe the day has finally come that A$AP Rocky has released Don't Be Dumb. I vividly remember sitting in my room on August 30th 2024 waiting for this album to release.

Obviously there will be expectations coming in, but I don't think any album can live up to 8 years of waiting. I wasn't coming in expecting something as good as LIVE.LOVE.A$AP, I just wanted a fun, solid album. Because if I waited 8 years for it to be terrible, then there would be a ... read more

Ty Dolla $ign - TYCOON
41

mid.

Insanely mid album, buuuuuuut... DON'T KILL THE PARTY IS PEAKKKKKKKKKK.

jev. - LONERWRLD vol. 2
60

I mean it's pretty cool.
Jev continues to put out under the radar quality music and the conductor beat was tough.

Best song: JAMAICAN CUISINE.

Young Thug - UY SCUTI
21

yeah this was terrible
the cover makes me uncomfortable and the last 30 seconds of ninja might just be top 3 thug

Justin Bieber - SWAG II
42

yeah so it wasn't really needed.

by far worse than swag 1. SPEED DEMON is the only song I found myself liking, the other ones are pretty forgettable. I was fine with one album from Justin this year, this was unnessecary.

Best song - SPEED DEMON

Joey Bada$$ - Lonely At The Top
60

To be honest, I'm dissapointed.

This is by far Joey's worst project in my opinion, not neccesarily a bad album, just not up to par with the rest of his work. I found most of the tracks on here to be boring and bland, with most of the features being the star of the show instead of Joey himself. There's really only a handful of tracks that I actually enjoyed, the other ones didn't stand out. My favorites include DARK AURA, SWANK WHITE, BK'S FINEST, and STILL. The other ... read more

Earl Sweatshirt - Live Laugh Love
70

Let me just start out by saying I've never been a fan of Earl, I don't like his delivery and flows, but that's just me. So obviously I wasn't too crazy about this album. While I wasn't that big of a fan, I can recognize good music, and this still is a quality album.
Only 24 minutes, but Earl still gives us powerful bars. This isn't an album that I will come back to and listen in full but there was one track I will come back to, "exhaust". I actually ... read more

Kid Cudi - Free
81

Why is this album getting so much hate? I didn't listen to this album night of release so it was a little bit spoiled to me, everyone saying it was a mid pop style record, But this was actually really good.

Was it a little cheesy at times? Yeah. But I think it added levels to the album and overall made it a more fun listening experience. I came in with no expectations and left heavily satisfied. Good job Cudi, you redeemed yourself for INSANO.

Best song: Mr. Miracle

Offset - KIARI
71

Pretty solid offset.

I've always liked Offsets solo stuff, he flows really nice and has some mad bars. This album was no different.
I prefer his other two solo albums but this one was enjoyable. The lead single "Bodies" had me really hyped going into this, and I was satisfied. "Bodies" was by far the best song though.

Best song: Bodies

Chance the Rapper - STAR LINE
59

Yeah so this was not it

Chance is indeed NOT BACK. Idk why this album is getting so much praise, it is honestly just not good. It was so boring, the only song I like was the one with Joey.
Not much else to say

Best song: The Highs & The Lows

Gunna - The Last Wun
20

The bar was low, and Gunna fell flat on his face.

Man was this bad. Gunna has been an artist that listen to a couple songs from, but the rest are give or take. I was hoping that this album would give me a couple new Gunna bangers that I can come back to and enjoy (especially with the album being 25 tracks), but when I tell you I did not enjoy a single songs, I'm not joking.
I had very low hopes coming into this, all I wanted was for that Offset feature to be fire, and it wasn't. ... read more

JID - God Does Like Ugly
85

Very very solid.

I came in with the expectation of it not being better than the forever story, and I was right. I don't think JID will ever top the forever story for the duration of his career.

This album started out fantastic. WSG came in very unexpected in the first second (unfortunately didn't get a full verse), but that first track was filled with clever bars and beat switches. Track 2 gave us "Glory", which I think is the best track on the album, insane flows. ... read more

Yeat - DANGEROUS SUMMER
69

okay so why was this actually not bad.

I had a VERY low bar going into this, I was kinda just listening for the heck of it. Yeat honestly surprised me. Dare I say... his best project to date?
It still had many flaws and about half of the tracks were take it or leave it, but there were 4 major standouts to me: OH I DID, ADL IS COMING, IM YEAT, and FLY NITE.
There were still songs I really didn't enjoy but for the most part, it was a enjoyable listen, and that's all you can really ask ... read more

Raekwon - The Emperor's New Clothes
63

Kind of what you expect from Raekwon, but either way, solid.

Unc is getting up there in age but still gives us nasty verses on some grimey new york beats. It's really just what you expect from Raekwon, but I never got bored throughout the listen. The features were also really solid, especially Nas and the Griselda trio. They added an extra layer of enjoyment and overall made an enjoyable listen.

Best song: Wild Corsicans

Freddie Gibbs & The Alchemist - Alfredo
95

This album has not left my rotation since I first listened.

Freddie continues to show us why he is one of, if not the most consistent hip hop artists.
It's tough to say whether I like this or Alfredo 2 more. I rated them the exact same because it truly is that close. The reason this album is not a 10 is because I'm not too crazy of the track "God Is Perfect", but other than that. everything else is perfect. Everything from that opening guitar riff on "1985" to ... read more

Metro Boomin - Metro Boomin Presents: A Futuristic Summa
15

Might be the worst project of the year so far.

New Metro? Hell yeah, I was insanely hyped, especially after hearing the feature list. Man oh man was I wrong. I don't even know what I listened to. It was so annoying and the features were oh so bad.
Every chorus was repetitive and annoying, I seriously didn't enjoy a single song.
I don't know how we went from Heroes & Villians to this, but here we are.

Best song: N/A
