Baby Keem - Ca$ino
80

After hearing the recent leak on Twitter with Keem and Fimiguerrero, I decided to give this a spin.

Baby Keem is always someone I saw with quite some potential and I still think he has exactly that.

I have the feeling the production could've been a tad better (despite still being good). Some songs didn't really feel like they had the "right" structure.

Despite that, I'm a big fan of the songwriting on this project. That's what has mainly dragged my rating up. ... read more

Drake - ICEMAN
60

I tried to go into the album with a completely positive mindset despite all of the criticism that you see on this site or Twitter.

I think that a lot of the beat switches in the album were kinda more to "just do it". Like you barely had any build up to them or smooth transitions and they were supposed to catch you off guard, which ultimately not only ended up in ruining a few songs for me but also left me with wanting the song to actually stick with just one singular beat.

OG Keemo - BERSERKER +
85

Karim Joel Martin 😭❤️‍🩹 Das kam ja richtig unerwartet.

Ich bin so ready für Berserker am 14. Ich war einer von denen, die das Fieber Mixtape noch gefeiert hatten aber ich würde lügen, wenn ich sage, dass ich das hier nicht mehr feier. Die Production ist (so wie immer) on point, inhaltlich geht das auch wieder in eine etwas bessere Richtung.

Lieblingstrack: Auge
Nicht so meins: N/A
Added: Chaos, Mehr, Auge, Blind

PlaqueBoyMax - Crash Dummy
60

Uuuh I actually don't think this is that bad

Admittedly, I kinda got convinced to listen to this by someone saying it's not that bad so I would've usually not checked it out but I agree. Songs like Bussin, Break the Bank or Get Off Me feel kinda lazy but the others are genuinely pretty decent.

Favourite track: ELASTIBOY
Least favourite track: GET OFF ME
Added: ELASTIBOY, DIFFERENT BAG, BAD BITCH ADDICTION

WE all thank April Harper Grey for this album.

I will say, I still prefer the singles over the regular songs but I can't really complain at anything. I'll have to give it a few more listens.

Favourite track: Music (first to ever make it)
Least favourite track: The Peace
Adds: Tell Me (U Want It), Music, Lovefield, Do It, Bodyfeeling, Wish U Well

slayr - Half Blood (BloodLuxe)
95

Second album review this year and I have been blessed even more.

Slayr already became one of my favourite UG artists with the original album but this shit goes even harder for me (perhaps because it's new).

The sampling stepped up a level for me, his flows are crazy, vocals are on point and I don't see any reason to say anything bad tbh. Ofc the transitions are heavenly again.

Invest in slayr!

Favourite track: Flashout Freestyle

Lancey Foux - FIRST DEGREE: 2ND CHARGE
85

First album I've fully checked out this year and it was worth it.

The first 6 tracks I felt like he was really just in his zone and the production was just completely down my lane. Whatever he felt while making Everything Good Yeah ? (probably hatred) made the track stand out to me especially. With Gator Green and Don't Wake Me Up things slowed down until we got back up to speed. I will say even with the second half of the album being a lot more melodic overall, it still gave off ... read more

Che - REST IN BASS: ENCORE
80

I didn't ever review RIB because I couldn't get along with a lot of the songs on there but this one I'm a big fan of. A lot of these songs bring good energy and although I'm still a bigger fan of Che's old style, I think this album does a good job of bringing the best out of this Rage kind of style he now adopted.

FREAK NEEK is the best song for me on this. I've replayed it about 15+ times already. The fact that the album in general ends with WHATS LOVE -> ... read more

slayr - Luxe 0.1

Flow State is unreal, everything else is good. Looking forward to more from Mr. Slayr in the future.

Favourite track: Flow State

Idolinjo - DUNAMIS
65

Die meisten Songs auf diesem Album sind besser als Konzept statt ein wirklicher Song zu sein.

Oft treffen mich viele der "tiefen" Bars nicht wirklich, weil sie mit 0815-Bars gekuppelt werden.

Ich finde trotzdem, dass er auf Songs wie OVERTHINKER oder dem Outro zeigt, dass er es auf jeden drauf hat. Bitte einfach weniger singen und wenn schon, dann eine Schiene, und nicht "Lit & Thoughtful"auf einem Album.

Lieblingssong: OVERTHINKER
Am wenigsten gefallen: ... read more

Jane Remover - ♡
90

This is so good. I love the production, so good that I could probably care less about the lyrics but they are also good. So are the hooks. I also truly believe that none of these songs are bad. Just incredible consistency from Jane.

Not really heard of Sexy Drill as a genre before but that's a good ass description for some of the songs on here lmao

Favourite track: Flash In The Pan
Least favourite: N/A
Adds: Magic I Want U, So What?, Flash In The Pan, How To Teleport, Dream Sequence

rexv2 - Winners Circle
75

Think some of the songs here are proper classics in the making. Others I didn't really like as much. I think especially the middle of the album did it for me. The production and his flows worked out perfectly on a lot of those. All in all Rex continues to be one of the most promising artists in the scene and I hope he gets even better from here on.

Also his producer tag going "REX... Rex." goes so hard no matter how often I hear it.

Aries - GLASS JAW
80

Really good. Great production. Great ear for melodies as well. Sometimes I don't rate his vocals as much tho.

Glass Jaw and Sleepwalker are the best songs on here for me. Definitely an improvement on the other two albums I listened to by him (eons ago).

Favourite track: GLASS JAW
Least favourite track: WICHITA BLUES (already didn't like it when it released as a single)

Jean Dawson - Rock A Bye Baby, Glimmer Of God
80

Whilst I found the first half to be weaker (with the exception of Rock A Bye Baby, which is BY FAR my favourite on this), I think this is still very solid. Jean Dawson just knows how to pick the right melody. Also I loved the ending with The Modern Death of Bad News. That was pretty cool.

But yeah, overall I'm just here for Rock A Bye Baby glaze even if it was already out before this reissue.

Favourite track: Rock A Bye Baby
Least favourite track: GODISADJ

FKA twigs - EUSEXUA Afterglow
85

I could always absolutely understand if someone was not to like her style of music, but for me personally, she doesn't miss. That's now 22 tracks put out over 2 albums that were created with a year of each other. And that, with such grand quality. The production is stellar, her delivery is great and so is the atmosphere that is created within the whole album.

Especially Sushi, Stereo Boy and Wild And Alone did it for me.

Keep staying how you are Twigs.

skrt cobain - Teen Spirit
55

Naja, ich finde es klingt ziemlich mittelmäßig. So als ob er sich in dieser Musikrichtung gerne beweisen möchte, aber nicht richtig dabei ist. Gucci Slipper einziger Song, den ich nochmal anhören würde.

Lieblingssong: Gucci Slipper
Am wenigsten gemocht: Alles andere

Boldy James - Criminally Attached
80

Enjoyed it a lot. Craven and Boldy don't miss. Great production, some songs with great energy. I just know they can do even better (see, older albums).

Favourite track: 2 Left Feet
Least favourite track: Fully Smack

60

Forgot to rate this even though I gave the album a lot of tries. I would be a pretender if I said I liked anything on here besides CHARLIE MURDER (adlibs somehow scratch my brain in a good way) and munni blu like rem (good melody, also like the song title).

Maybe I'll like it more in the future

Favourite track: CHARLIE MURDER
Least favourite track: sub zero

yrsci - RULE OF THIRDS
70

Actually like this. Just not the biggest fan of the mix on a lot of these songs.

I do think he has a lot of potential if he goes in a similar direction.

Favourite track: SOMEONE ELSE IS IN THE HOUSE
Least favourite track: TEETH
