Purposeful vibrations. Denzel's assertion and confidence with the mic might take this decade by storm. He's always been known for packing the grimiest bars but this LP is a revelation his blinding ability to write engaging music. Keep your eyez peeled.

Enthralling piece of work. We got It fom Here never fails to shake up my mood and appease tension. The record's unprecedented appeal is an unexpected tear jerker. It's descriptive, grief ridden tales of anguish and hardship inflicted on communities due to social injustice and discrimination paints a bleak visual of society and suggests that one day hope will suffice. The idiosyncratic production works sublimely with the subject matter and cadence. The MC's seamlessly deliver mind-boggling ... read more

I'm dumbfounded. This pacemaker of a project will have you contemplating everything, the bar's set unquestionably high for the rest of the year.

Cordae's the type to sell you garden pebbles but market them as blood diamonds, or if "fake it till you make it" was a person. His delusion impedes his ability to be transparent, to be original, or at least listenable. He's so infatuated with lists and petty comparisons, his abrasive cockiness doesn't work in his favour either. The glaring lack of originality on this LP is chilling. I'm aching to appreciate his music but his seasonal dupery recital is impossible to overlook.

Earl finally sounds comfortable and for what? I'd grown used to his otherworldly, off-kilter cackle but I'd trade all that for whatever this is in a heartbeat. What a remarkable come back.

I'm not sure if it's just a coincidence but after The Weeknd made his admirable appearance on 'Uncut Gems' his sonic universe expanded far beyond expectations. The sheer, melancholic drive and desperate itch you get from listening to his work is reminiscent of addicts, chained to the rhythm. In hindsight, the themes of the movie dissected and embodied the concept quenching dangerous impulses. The Weeknd keeps rolling the dice like a senseless addict and emerges with satisfying results.

Upbeat earl circling back from the trenches, serving precision, it's all part of the experience.

The gift that keeps on giving. Ladies and gentlemen, Silk Sonic.

Mick flexes his lyrical range and muscle like never before, his elegance and calmness on the mic affords him the luxury to glide through any concept, no matter how abstract or conscious and successfully sway you. Most of these instrumentals could serve as soundtracks to late Sunday drives across town to visit your aunt for dinner, as wholesome as they come. The LP's redundant nature is a pity, this had so much potential. If he'd crafted something more substantial and memorable, Elephant In the ... read more

What is this? I get it, he's a sales and stream magnet but most top selling artists have distinctive characteristics and selling points. I will never understand the appeal of Ed's music. Beyond awful if I'm being honest. The cover art sums it up, doesn't deserve a proper review.

Peggy re-purposes his mental dissonance and angst to deliver loose, soul crushing confessions, his most thought-provoking LP to date (See what I did there? Lol)

Okay, true, his dry sense of humor and obscure outlook on existence may come across as flat and forceful but you will find it impossible to overlook the impartial, raw, nature of his sound and just acknowledge his infectious train of thought: One minute you’d swear you’re untouchable, the next walls come caving in, ... read more

I can't fathom what I just listened to, I loved it. I hate that the album was concieved from a place as dark as death and overwhelming grief but this was definitely a great send off for the late Groggs, rest in paradise.

This divine work of art is the epitome of self-expression and bare-knuckle resilience, Simz’s social and emotional transparency resonates effortlessly, drawing you into her dizzying universe, the universe of an introvert.

Every now and then the slickly woven rhymes are delivered with gruesome cadence and tone, they serve as constant reality checks. Simz tackles themes of womanhood, heartbreak, love, adolescence, equality and faith from the most unorthodox angles, allowing you to delve ... read more

Single life ain't so bad...

The 5 foot giant woke up out of his sleep...

Yep, I never thought a day like this would come to pass. Lorde's redundant posturing is jarring and not very resourceful, the emphasis on psychedelia and acoustic warmth is alluring but spineless at best, you sense as though Lorde is holding back just moments into listening, a tethered version of her former self, every track on show here lacks conviction to truly take your breath away, at some point you get annoyed by the recycling of song structures and sub-par vocals, the are a couple of ... read more

I'm a huge fan of Zay but I can't be biased. I dozed off several times, the tranquil
aesthetic on show here is poorly executed and sticks out like a sore thumb for the entire runtime, it's dated and baseless. Zay seems like a shadow of himself, ushering his listeners towards lackluster, half-baked concepts. The vocal inflections are pretentious and uninspired, he missed whatever target he'd locked on to in abysmal fashion, a handful of hooks were memorable but for an artist supposedly in his ... read more

Idk, her crown's missing

Feel good music, perfect for a cookout, nothing stupendous. As you'd expect, clean, astutely flavourful sound selection from Kenny going toe to toe with the heavy hitting, satirical powerhouse that is Vince Staples, venting from the standpoint of a man carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders or at least one who feels obliged to be the bearer of bad news.

I love this mysterious sh*t!

On his road to glory, Tyler fancied the path less traveled and opted for quality over quantity upon realising how astoundingly gifted he was, generational in every sense of the word. This album could quite possibly set the pace for the rest of the decade in the same vein that Dark Fantasy did in the early 2010's, trend setting if you will. I may be jumping the gun here but this could be his most revered release to date. The allure and growth as an artist is ... read more
