REVIEW #107: Hyperphantasia
Welcome to Hyperphantasia.
Following an interesting rollout, we've finally been treated to Lone's first full LP since Always Inside Your Head. As you can tell by the cover, it is an surreal blend of all sorts of genres, from Breakbeat to Ambient, and it makes for an undoubtedly unique listening experience. My main gripe is that there are an abundance of interludes, but otherwise the tracklist is coherent. I love Throw The Ember, I thought that was a great ... read more
REVIEW #106: MAID OF HONOUR
Jesus. Who told Drake that this would be a good idea? Because it sure as hell wasn't. I can't believe that there would be ANYONE in the world that actually thinks that this is any good at all. And if you do, that's disrespectful to your ears, that's disrespectful to me...it's just disrespect to the game.

REVIEW #105: ICEMAN
When ICEMAN was finally given a release date, I can't say I was particularly as excited as others might have been for more Snapchat story music.

All songs with ... read more
REVIEW #104: BRUV
When I was recommended the instrumental for Gettin Old on Youtube, I was flabbergasted. And I knew that I had to check out the rest of the songs. Needless to say, I am a fan of this EP, especially because London Bruv, Green Beret, Gettin Old and Eating Steaks. Solid production and lyrics wise. El Camino and BSF have definitely, in my opinion, constructed a coherent Extended Play. I wonder if they'll make any more songs together...
REVIEW #103: BULLY
After so many delays and an insane amount of questionable posts on Twitter, Kanye has finally released BULLY once and for all. It is undoubtedly a step in the right direction from the VULTURES albums, but it's no old Kanye (but that's a very high bar, so we ought to cut him some slack).
To be honest, the first 2 songs hadn't convinced me. I thought I was gonna end up placing this album in the middle of the ballpark, but fortunately everything picks up after ... read more
