Shotgun Willy - Bombs Away
70

Shotgun Willy is one of those artists you find randomly, then get obsessed with their music for a few weeks, then forget about them. But for what it is, Bombs Away is a bop. The use of brass in many of the songs is great, it fits what the album's going for perfectly.

It doesnt try to be deep or groundbreaking, but it knows its purpose and sticks to it. The energy is fun, the beats are fun, and it all comes together in a way that makes it hard not to enjoy. Its the kind of project you ... read more

Tyler, The Creator - CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST
70

Call Me If You Get Lost is a good album, it really is. Tyler shows he can still rap his ass off, the production is clean, and the confidence is there. But it didn’t hit as hard as I expected it to. Coming off the artistry of IGOR, this just feels like a step back. Not bad, just a downgrade.

The addition of DJ Drama is always a good move because it adds hype and excitement. But here, it takes away from the lyrics and distracts more than it adds. Tyler’s still proving he’s in a ... read more

Tyler, The Creator - Goblin
70

Goblin is messy, raw, and sometimes uncomfortable, and that is exactly the point. Tyler uses this album to show how he is different from everyone else. Pushing boundaries is his thing, and that is something I really respect. The abrasive and unfiltered lyrics are not always easy to sit through, but they are honest, and they are completely his.

The album is framed as a therapy session between Tyler and a fictional therapist named Dr. TC. It plays out like a dialogue, where Tyler rants and ... read more

Tyler, The Creator - IGOR
100

Wow. IGOR is hands down Tyler’s best produced album, and honestly, imo, his best overall. It feels like a full journey, packed with emotion, tension, and some of his most creative songwriting yet. Tracks like Are We Still Friends?, New Magic Wand, and Earfquake don’t just stand out, they hit every. single. time. The way he blends genres and builds this whole world is insane. Tyler’s in a league of his own with this one. Easy 10/10.

JPEGMAFIA - LP! (Offline Version)
90

Such a good album. LP! is JPEGMAFIA fully raw, loud, and doing whatever he wants. The production’s all over the place in the best way, and somehow every track still clicks. His lyrics hit without feeling forced, and the switch ups keep it fresh all the way through. One second it’s glitchy rap, next it’s smooth as hell. Nobody else is doing it like this. 9/10.

JPEGMAFIA - I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU
80

My first introduction to JPEG, and honestly, this album is something else. The way he blends hard hitting guitar with orchestral elements is unlike anything I’ve heard before. It’s raw, chaotic, and beautiful all at once. Definitely a standout project compared to the countless others I've listened to. A strong 8/10 for me.

Kendrick Lamar - good kid, m.A.A.d city (Deluxe Edition)
90

God damn. good kid, m.A.A.d city is a masterpiece. The storytelling hits hard, it’s honest, vivid, and never feels forced. Every beat fits so well, like nothing’s out of place. It really plays like a movie. Easily some of the best production I’ve ever heard. A very strong 9/10.

John Michel - Egotrip
90

Found this on the front page of Spotify, god damn I’m glad I did. This album is beautiful. John Michel and Anthony James snapped with Egotrip. Clean production, real emotion, and nothing feels forced. 9/10.

Lil Tecca - DOPAMINE
60

Had a lot of potential. Tecca’s no stranger to hits, but this one just doesn’t land the same. Maybe it’s a grower, but I’m still enjoying the album overall. 6/10.

IDK - CLOVER
90

“Clover” by IDK is such a damn good song. IDK brings the heat, and JV&B keeps killing it. Gonna be on repeat for a while. Keep it up, IDK.

Playboi Carti - MUSIC
20

Carti just mumbles through the entire album like he’s not even trying. The beat’s decent, but the vocals are so sloppy and lazy that it drags everything down. It feels like a half-assed demo rather than a finished album. There's no real substance, just noise for the sake of noise. Honestly, it’s hard to call it music. 2/10.

JACKBOYS - JACKBOYS 2
30

I'm really struggling to understand this. The production is just not good at all. I know Travis has so much more talent than what we're hearing here, but unfortunately, this isn’t showcasing it.

Kanii - #BLUE
80

Kanii has significant potential. After his past social media hits, he has the ability to succeed. This EP is good, but it could be much better. I'm excited for Kanii's future.

I'm feeling a light 8/10.

ian - Valedictorian
NR

The same people hating on Ian openly listen to Carti; think about that.

10

Rest in Bass by Che is fucking unlistenable. Nothing about it works. Just loud, messy noise.

Clipse - Let God Sort Em Out
100

Clipse goes hard on this one. The lyrics cut deep, and both Pusha and Malice deliver with precision. These beats are amazing, and the features elevate them even more. Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell, Tyler, the Creator, Nas, I couldn't give less than a 10/10.

Tyler, The Creator - DON'T TAP THE GLASS
90

Tyler switched it up in a great way. This dance/rap vibe is amazing, and I’m loving it. Definitely one of my favorite genres now. Solid 9/10.
