B. Cool-Aid - Leather Blvd.
55

I feel like they're trying too hard to be unique, but some of the songs are actually good.

Us3 - Hand on the Torch
89

A classic jazz rap essential. While the vocalists lag behind the production quality on most songs, they hold their own when it matters. I approached this album like it was primarily a jazz album, which I think made it more enjoyable.

Cochemea Gastelum - Vol. II: Baca Sewa
75

Soundtrack to trekking across an arid expanse of land. Realistic adventure music. A bit lackluster, but that might be the point.

Liv.e - Couldn't Wait To Tell You…
89

A genre-blending masterpiece of hazy psychedelics. Didn't know this was a debut album, that's amazing.

Danny Brown - Hot Soup
90

A relatively normal album from Danny Brown although there are bursts of weirdness that foreshadow his later career. I have a feeling that the score for this album is low because AOTY users are pretentious and are disgruntled with the fact that their experimental king once made normal and palatable music that more people can appreciate.

Prince Swisher - A Useless Degree in Rapping
80

Mac Miller mixed with a little Kanye and hints of J. Cole was the vibe I got from this project. Pretty solid and room for improvement, but consistently good throughout even if it was a little stale at some points.

LAUSSE THE CAT - The Mocking Stars
90

Whimsical asf, one of the better abstract and jazz hiphop projects I have listened to recently.

A$AP Ferg - FLIP PHONE SHORTY - STRICTLY FOR DA STREETZ VOL. 1
30

You could call it "fun" but that would require enjoying it. No depth or substance, and surface level bars over intense beats. I guess you could say there is energy here, but that alone doesn't make the album good.

Staind - 14 Shades of Grey
55

While not a complete failure of an album, it certainly leaves the listeners hoping for more, peaking with a few good songs and falling back into the trenches of mediocrity. Most of the album sounded the same and was extremely forgettable.

OBI - BLACKSTAR
75

To preface: I know OBI from highschool.
Lots of potential here, I liked most of the songs but some weren't my vibe. Good variety overall, the project didn't get boring throughout which can be a concern for longer mixtapes.

Flatbush Zombies - Vacation in Hell
80

While certainly containing flaws and nowhere near perfect, Vacation in Hell is consistently interesting and unique.

Lithe - Euphoria
15

Sounds like Lithe was trying to make aura farming music, without the aura. Most songs sounded the same and I often could barely hear the vocals over the instrumentals.

MoRuf - Moolodic: Hotep Luxury
70

Started strong then lost me. Good vibes throughout but mostly forgettable.

Danny Brown - Stardust
65

Good introspection but mostly slop.

Big L - Harlem's Finest: Return Of The King
90

Man he could have easily been one of the goats. RIP.

Rubii - FEELUH
70

Started off weak but got good. Chill vibes throughout, nothing crazy but not bad by any stretch.

Aesop Rock - I Heard It's a Mess There Too
65

Good lyrical display but not much going on. Don’t think he took this project too seriously anyway, might come back to it sometime.

Sci-Fi The Mastermind - Superhuman Crystallized Intergalactically-Formed Intelligence
89

Really good boom bap album with Big L and 90s/2000s boom bap/backpack rap vibes throughout.

WHATMORE - WHATMORE
70

Good music but too all over the place as an album for me to give it a higher score. Could’ve been broken into two EPs .

Whole album sounded the same and terrible. I don’t understand how people can praise this music it’s so repetitively terrible.
