Tiny Meat Gang jump out of the tiny pond they occupied with their last ep. Falling right into the overwhelming sea of trap mixtapes, with nothing new to offer.
Mixtape: Locals Only
Cody and Noel have taken there music in the opposite direction that most people who follow it probably wanted. Steering further from comedy and directly into the saturated generic trap lane. Worst of all, they seem to have grabbed a hard to pull off style (auto-tune lofi trap) on the way and worn it like a bomb ... read more
Youtube comedians Noel Miller and Cody Ko (the Tiny Meat Gang) come together to create a meta trap mixtape that plays on the conventions of the genre to try and provide some funny moments. Often becoming nothing more than the generic trap that they aimed to parody.
Album: Bangers & Ass
In my opinion Tiny Meat Gang’s attempts to parody trap aren’t as well thought out as they could have been. Cody and Noel do a good job of pointing out some of the stupid trends in the genre ... read more

All of which are backed by murky electronic beats that further empower the imagery DOOM’s writing ... read more
6ix9ine slaps us in the face with one of the most creatively uninspired, low effort and broken album experiences of the year. Sounding like a watered down version of the already painful “Day69”, it contains just the right mix of awkward performances, mind numbing lyrics and shitty instrumentals to make anyone wonder how the fuck this guy has any following at all. Let alone the seemingly massive one he has accumulated.
Album: DUMMY BOY
I truly believe that “DUMMY BOY” ... read more
JID returns off “The Never Story” with a generic sounding and less consistent album that ultimately fails to reach the high standard of its predecessor and doesn’t lend itself well to multiple listens.
Album: DiCaprio 2
The biggest problem with DiCaprio 2 is the blend of claustrophobic mixing, boring beats and lack of substance. Creating an album that is uncomfortable and boring to listen to for a long period of time. After a few listens the album stops working as a full ... read more
