i consider born sinner to be a strong album overall due to j cole's well executed production and features. aside from the features, j cole overall delivers great rapping performances and this album has few skips. my favs are villuminati, power trip, forbidden fruit, crooked smile, let nas down

common's latest collab album with pete rock is a great album from 2024. this is very reminiscent of the production in common's album be due to the samples and jazzy feel. i liked most songs and i look forward to the future albums in this series. my favs are dreamin, chi-town do it, fortunate, so many people, now and then

4 your eyez only is a great storytelling album and has very high highs imo. listening to this for the first time was immersive and i enjoyed it a lot. this is my favourite j cole project because of the storytelling and how personal j cole is with this album. my favs are change, neighbours, she's mine pt 2, 4 your eyez only

j cole releasing one of his best projects on streaming was a great decision. i really enjoyed most songs on this mixtape because of cole's flows and lyricism. the samples on this project are on point too. my favs are too deep for the intro, back to the topic, villematic, in the morning

j cole's most recent project had a few good songs, but it was worse than expected from a j cole project. the beef largely overshadowed the good songs from here that honestly could be considered some of j cole's best. however, j cole very well could have deleted some of the tracks on here. pi was crazy good until that one line sparked controversy. my favs are huntin wabbitz, trae the truth in ibiza, crocodile tearz

cordae's the crossroads is an easy listen with good features across the board. the production works well with cordae's flows and i liked the project overall. my favs are 06 dreamin, pray, saturday mornings, two tens

Review #100 :0
j cole's 2014 FHD is a must hear project and has some of j cole's most famous songs. this is an album dcentred around struggles that he and many people faced around him. however, the production could be a bit more innovative and some songs don't stick with me much. i feel that the lyricism and rapping ability of j cole is certainly strong. i personally liked a few songs on here. my favs are january 28th, 03' adolescence, no role modelz

red hand akimbo is the shortest project from paris texas and has fire tracks. overall the energy is high on this project and fthe songs are aggressive and have the signature rough paris texas production. the projet could have had a bit more length because this era of paris texas had some good sounds like on boy anonymous. my favs are dr aco's miracle bullets and rhm

punching bag's debut ep shows the influence of paris texas as punching bag definitely take inspiration from them. gym rat has a couple hard hitting songs and have lots of witty lyrics. i look forward to future projects from the duo and hope for some unique sound that defines them. my favs are 2-star prospect, split, vertical

DiCaprio 2 may not be JID's best album, but it does have a lot of amazing tracks with sick flows. most of the tracks have great rapping from JID but he also uses his singing on a couple tracks. this album has some JID classics and is a great listen. my favs are stick talk, off deez, 151 rum, off da zoinkys

after kendrick lamar's surprise drop gnx has been out for a week, i find the album to be better than when i first listened to it. there's a lot of great tracks on here and any kendrick fan would be pleased to have kendrick drip a whole album on top of the diss tracks from earlier this year. kendrick's tribute to the west coast is a fantastic album and i think it only makes kendrick's discography better than it was before. i will say that not every track was something that i ... read more

daniel caesar's first project is quite entrancing and chill. most songs are great and i think this project is a nice listen. my favs are death and taxes, paradise, streetcar

a super cool album with a ton of interesting tracks and is unlike schoolboy q's previous work. tHis is a sHowcase of His evolution as an artist with more mature songs coupled witH bangers. my favs are yeern 101, blueslides, love birds, oHio

thundercat's it is what it is brings warm vibes and stunning instrumentals on a lot of the tracks. the warm hypnotic style thundercat is known for is all over this project. however, i do feel that i was expecting a bit more from the project as some of the songs are either very short or have little to no replay value. my favs are it is what it is, black qualls, dragonball durag, fair chance

freddie gibbs' 2024 release is filled with hard hitting raps and great flows. this album has a good concept that is maintained throughout the album with the devil talking with gibbs. it's not the best work, but i do enjoy most tracks from here and i see this as a strong project from gibbs. my favs are cosmo freestyle, wolverine, it's your anniversary, origami

future's third album of 2024 is unfortunately quite less interesting than his prior works. future has no features on this album and they would have probably helped this album quite a bit. the album felt very generic and had little to no innovation. it did have a few good tracks though. my favs are teflon don, lil demon, ski

aquemini is a unique listening experience with creative rhymes and flows. the duo's grooviness comes out on this record and almost every song is great. my favs are aquemini, rosa parks, da art of storytellin pt 1, spottieottiedopaliscious

this album felt a bit too generic and was overhyped. 21's attempts at being introspective are not done great. there are a couple decent songs tho. my favs are redrum and red sky

very very bloated album. the second disc of the album was much better than the first. future's attempt at making r&b with this album was nit great to say the least. features do a lot of work on this album. my favs are we still don't trust you, red leather, show of hands

the first of two collab albums from metro and future in 2024 does have a few bangers. however, future's performances leave a bit to be desired on most songs. metro's production overall was solid and did not lead to any major problems. there are a lot of forgettable songs with the exception of a few. the features definitely improved a lot of the songs they were on. i still think that this project has a handful of great tracks. my favs are we don't trust you, young metro, like ... read more
