Yaya Bey - Fidelity
85

It’s not a hooks album. If you came for features and vibe, it delivers. If you wanted immediate bangers, it asks for more patience. The grief under the joy makes it hit deeper on repeat

KidTokio - RAISED BY HIM.

This is really good

tsubi club - trinket
91

feels like someone dumped a junk drawer full of GameCube sounds, diary entries, and 3AM feelings onto a maxed-out laptop and somehow made it coherent. It’s hyperpop that actually uses the “hyper” part and glitchy half-time breakdowns, but it never tips into pure chaos. The production keeps a throughline of bright, tactile synths and bitcrushed drums that make every track good.

Even with all the sound design flexing, you leave humming .

Arlo Parks - Ambiguous Desire
78

This one sits in a weird spot: chilly, almost detached production, but it radiates summer heat. Arlo’s voice is mellow and conversational, gliding over that warm, reverb-drenched guitar. The whole album feels like wanting someone but not saying it straight. Lowkey addictive. Would put this on for golden hour, even if it’s cold

Tom Misch - Full Circle
70

It's not boring to me

RAYE - THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE.
88

SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING THAT WOULD WIN A GRAMMY, if it gets the nomination

Slayyyter - WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA
90

I FAILED TO GET THOSE DOLLAR SIGNS BUT ANY WAY,
it's a neon dream. Slayyyter's energy is infectious, and those production choices? Chef's kiss! The whole album's a mood, idk what's more fire - the banger tracks or the emo vibes. Definitely giving me life.

Naomi Scott - F.I.G
79

it’s moody, industrial, and has this cool alt-R&B vibe that feels very intentional. Tracks like "Hellbent" and "cherry" are standout moments where her voice sounds incredibly soulful without being over-the-top. I also really dig the concept of "Gracie" as an alter ego for her self-growth; it makes the lyrics feel a lot more personal.

slayr - Half Blood (BloodLuxe)
83

Not my style but the production , beats are on point good music all the wayy

IV OF SPADES - Andalucia
89

Nostalgic , warm , cinematic though I don't know filipino

heavensouls - westside trapped

Chaotic dance able shit right here , the production is vibrant creek Ala is the stand out moment for me.

Kendrick Lamar - good kid, m.A.A.d city

The greatest album of all time

Foggieraw - With No Due Respect
74

Well I guess my taste sucks because this is cool,

Sideshow - TIGRAY FUNK
85

It might be long, but for a "cool" record that captures the current zeitgeist of experimental hip-hop, it’s hard to beat.

James Blake - Trying Times
78

It’s an album about "the relentlessness of modern life". While it might not have the singular, groundbreaking punch of his self-titled debut or the cohesion of Assume Form, it’s a high-quality collection for anyone who enjoys his specific blend of electronic soul—even if a few "skip" tracks are inevitable

Fabiano do Nascimento - Vila
77

: It is "imaginative mood music" that thrives in its gentle, sweeping violin lines and virtuosic guitar dexterity. While some critics feel it occasionally holds back from its "full dramatic potential," its organic and tender nature makes it a refreshing sonic experience.

J. Cole - The Fall-Off
87

While the 101-minute runtime can feel slightly overstuffed to some, for a day-one fan, it’s a rewarding "victory lap" that prioritizes legacy over trend-chasing. It’s a soulful, complete project that cements his place as one of the genre's most thoughtful storytellers.
What were your favorite tracks on the album, and do you think this is actually his final project?
