Westside Gunn - And Then You Pray For Me
30

A move in a wrong direction, I’ll reaccess this album after, and review maybe a bit fairer but the inconsistency and lack of quality on this album is a disappointment. Trap doesn’t suit Gunn the way it suits Conway, whose album God Don’t Make Mistakes , albeit as inconsistent, delivers a lot more effectively.

JPEGMAFIA & Danny Brown - SCARING THE HOES: DLC PACK
85

Doesn't even add much to the original game WTH is this??!?!

Genuinely amazing ep, although not as distinct as the first project it's still immensely solid

Injury Reserve - Injury Reserve
90

Such a unique sound accompanied by artists like JPEGMAFIA in creating the perfect expression of modern internet rap. Beats hitting like a truck on tracks like "Jailbreak the Tesla" and "Rap Song Tutorial" make it impossible to not headbang, then bringing you down on smoother tracks like "Gravy n Biscuits", and "Jawbreaker" yet never losing energy once. With the talented Ritchie and Gregg complimenting the production sound so well, perfectly mashing ... read more

Ka - Honor Killed the Samurai
79

A gritty experimental experience, laced with unique instrumentals, and a slow desolate vocal quality on the record, which can set the mood perfectly, but can also come off almost droning. Thematically dark yet relaxed, very chill tracks showcasing the talented penmanship of Ka. Track diversity is a strong suit in the case of this album, but never losing that cold almost mourning feeling on every track. The samurai vocal samples are akin to the Wu-Tang, but with a darker twist, and unique world ... read more

KAYTRAMINÉ - KAYTRAMINÉ
70

Akin to "Silk Sonic" this album is designed for maximum summer fun, although the delivery is not as strongl. It reminds me a lot of classic 90s-2000s hip-hop hits, definite Diddy/Pharell influence, even including Pharell on track 4EVA. The features dont shine much on the album though, besides the typical solid bars from Freddie Gibbs, no one else quite brings the heat. The thematic tone is a little all over, switching to a harder almost polarizing tone on Westside and Master P and ... read more

Lonnie Holley - Oh Me Oh My
85

"Oh Me Oh My" is a very experimental and poetic expression in music, and emotion. Although slowpaced at some points, it counters that with its thoughtful nature and expression. The production fills many facets of sounds, mixed some digital and world, synthesizers mixed with traditional drums, and intense breaks and guitars, countered with wistful pianos. The sound is very experimental and expressive throughout, selling the range of emotion and feeling in every track. Although the ... read more

CZARFACE - Czarmageddon!
78

Finally, after many inconsistent albums from Czarface, (who to me had become more of a brand than a music supergroup in recent years) finally Czarface pulls together, Inspectah Deck returns from his almost reclusiveness off Super What, where his more tired raps in years transform to some hard hitting, lyrical and powerful bars, Esoteric comes with the same energy as he had come with last album, delivering wittiness and hard flows that keep him toe to toe with INS, and 7L pulls off some insanely ... read more

Conway the Machine - God Don't Make Mistakes
87

Conway is a monster on the mic, he tells a broken personal story, elegantly and effectively. He shows all of his talent in one of Conway's best projects yet. The production quality is excellent, his features are stunning, and songs like tear gas makes me want Rick Ross on more Old School tracks. This takes so many kinds of rappers and artists and combines their talents in a beautiful album. First listen to this album reminded me of a modern Illmatic. Griselda is a highly underrated group of ... read more

Pusha T - It's Almost Dry
76

Nothing earthshattering, but it's special, it's fun, and it's consistent. Push T's verses have always reflected well on Kanye and Pharrell beats, and he really shines here. I enjoyed Kanye is returning to a soul sample sound on this album,. Even if his verses are not in his prime, his producing still is. Push tells a story through this album and it's an enticing one. I definitely enjoyed this album and it will definitely stay in my listens for a while. Push T is forever a legend.
