i'm trying to step outside of my comfort zone and try more non-rap stuff out this year, and this seemed like a cool place to start. i liked this! super cinematic and maximalist production, this album felt like a soundtrack without being one (i mean that in a good way lol). idk how much this will stick with me throughout the year, but i'm glad i gave it a listen! i had a good time!

FAVORITE TRACKS: Polaris, Insomnia, Arrival, We Shine at Night, Parade, Sketchbook, Sound Inside Me Waves Inside ... read more

HE DONT MISS

for any fans of conscious boom bap PLEASE check Noveliss out. he's criminally underrated and deserves so much more attention. he's never missed on a single project, so i highly recommend looking at his back catalog as well, but this project in and of itself is fantastic. 7 tracks of straight bars from one of the best in his field.

finally now that BROCKHAMPTON’s gone, we can have REAL HIP-HOP back!!! (i didnt listen to this lmao)

i'm gonna miss these knuckleheads (part 2/2)

the final, final, FINAL part of the BROCKHAMPTON finale (hopefully lmao) is a proper project from all the boys we know and love. and man, it's kinda inconsistent. certainly not bad by any means, they went for a much poppier sound similar to "GINGER", while working in a few bangers here and there. some forgettable tracks to be sure, and the outro track, as much as i did enjoy it, could have been even better, but still a pretty good project. ... read more

i'm gonna miss these knuckleheads (part 1/2)

the first half of the grand BROCKHAMPTON finale is actually a solo outing from Kevin (apart from a brief appearance from Bearface, which was great!). surprisingly. Ian brings such insane energy and emotion in his performances in lyrics on here, being the most explicit he's even been with the band's struggles and departure. what i could not have seen coming was this project having my favorite production of any BH project ever. the chipmunk soul beats ... read more

*insert supermega reference here*

"QUEEF STEW" = song of the millennium

so Quadeca definitely has most of my attention as of right now, but don't sleep on this project! Nas' run from "King's Disease 1 & 2" to "Magic" and now this is kinda crazy considering how late in his career he is. tons of highlights here, a little bit of filler, but Nas is still lyrically sharp as ever and Hit-Boy comes through with some of his best beats on here. great stuff!

now to try and find the words for IDMTHY...

"Those words don't do you justice"

i've been following Benjamin Lasky aka Quadeca for many years now. he essentially kickstarted my interest in hip-hop with his "Styles of Rap" videos and diss tracks. the very first video i ever made on my channel was "Top 10 Quadeca Songs". looking back, a lot of his early material was pretty bad. i still have a soft spot for "Voice Memos", but it's really amateur and very flawed. last year though, he released ... read more

11/11 boutta go down in history. so glad to be here to witness this artistic reinvention in real-time.

this song makes me unreasonably happy

holy shit city pop is my new favorite genre

as a jewish person myself, as well as a massive fan of Kanye, i'm truly horrified at his recent statements. he legitimately crossed the line for me this time. i'm done defending him. i know he struggles with bipolar disorder, but at a certain point, mental illness can't excuse hatred. i truly hope he gets the help that he clearly needs, but i'm done supporting him for the time being.
