The Alchemist - This Thing Of Ours
80

One of my favorite EPs ever, all 4 main tracks are killer and every feature locks the fuck in to deliver some sick verses. I would talk about notable tracks but if I did I would just say all the track names. The instrumentals are also really good and display ALCs simple yet effective production. Anyone who slightly likes The Alchemist needs to listen to this

Conway The Machine & The Alchemist - LULU
70

A solid output from Conway and ALC

Handsome Boy Modeling School - So... How's Your Girl?
75

An insane collection of songs that do the weirdest most wild experiments yet it works and it works well. Features by Kid Koala, EL-P, Trugoy, Miho Hatori, and more make this album feel like 2 friends inviting their other friends to throw their ideas with seemingly no limits. Which is what this album exactly is, it’s great and has some great songs and even the ones that aren’t as replay able still deserve their placement on this album. Almost any fan of 90’s hip hop is sure to ... read more

Handsome Boy Modeling School - White People
65

This feature list deadass feels like those fan made Smash character rosters. Dude, Del The Funky Homosapien, Alex Kapranos, Linkin Park, EL-P, Chino Moreno, Cat Power, Pharrell, and more??? Some ideas work, others don’t. It’s a good listen though. A good follow up to their debut and I hope they come back someday besides that EP a few years ago

Pierce The Veil - Misadventures
80

If summer had a post hardcore album, it would be Misadventures. This album is great and has some of my favorite writing from the band. Songs like Phantom Power , Today I Saw The Whole World, and Circles are my favorites on here. This is also a great album to follow up Collide With The Sky and is a standout in an already basically perfect discography

Daft Punk - Human After All
60

Sure was made in 2 weeks

Chiodos - All's Well That Ends Well
80

I love Craig Owen’s vocal performance on here and There’s No Penguins In Alaska is my standout track. I loved this album on the first listen and it may be a hot take but a part of me prefers the re-recorded anniversary release. However this version is still great and worth checking out, my only real complaint is the mixing on this thing is rough in some places. That aside, this album is great and I see why it’s regarded as a classic for the post hardcore scene

Alexisonfire - Watch Out!
70

How many artists have I been missing out on?? This was a banger

Westside Gunn, Conway The Machine & The Alchemist - Hall & Nash 2: The Original Version
70

Good compilation of songs, sadly not many standouts but if you like Benny, Gunn, and Alc then this album is just a great collection of songs with all 3 of them. Good stuff

Westside Gunn - 12
75

055 blew my mind first listen and still does holy shit. The album to prove that Gunn is back in shape and ready to go all out again

Westside Gunn - HEELS HAVE EYES 3
70

Probably my least favorite from the trilogy but it should not undermine the quality on this thing. It’s still a good album, great features and production, the standard for Gunn. However the biggest standout has to be MANKIND, an insane song and probably my favorite song from the entire trilogy, great stuff. Also that Freddie diss makes me sad knowing we’ll never get another song like Frank Lucas. The biggest thing that holds this back is the length, 25 minutes and it’s too ... read more

Westside Gunn - HEELS HAVE EYES 2
75

Great album from Gunn, really shows that his last few project run is something to celebrate, bro continues to show why he’s one of the best curators. The best track for sure has to be Blow Hendry with an amazing feature from MIKE. A really solid continuation to HHE and probably the best from the trilogy but not my favorite. Great album though

Westside Gunn - HEELS HAVE EYES
75

Might be a hot take but honestly my favorite from the trilogy. Not the best by any means but it’s a great 9 minute EP with really no flaws. Just 9 minutes of standard Westside Gunn rhymes and beats, not unique or special but is still good. Two thumbs up from me

Isles & Glaciers - The Hearts of Lonely People
80

Please come back, hearing these 3 exchange vocals is insane and I need to hear it again

Mach-Hommy - HBO (Haitian Body Odor)
90

An album worthy of being hung at a museum, it really shows Mach’s artistry and ability to make some standout music. This is definitely a highlight in the Griselda catalogue and deserves the hype it has. It has a bit for every sort of fan of rap, introspective verses, sick flows, and lush beats. You can tell this album was crafted with deliberate details

Mach-Hommy - #RICHAXXHAITIAN
80

Mach is on a whole new level here, he makes his most accessible album still sound uniquely him. This album is a great introduction to the Dump Gawds for anyone who has even any sort of curiosity about them. The lyricism on this album is also top notch stuff, one of the best releases of 2024. Points taken off for that fuckass YOD line though, who let bro say that

Earl Sweatshirt - Live Laugh Love
85

Things really do get better

Earl Sweatshirt - Some Rap Songs
90

I feel like words don’t do this album justice. It’s too personal and woven with extremely dark topics, to anyone who relates to this album it’s important things get better

Earl Sweatshirt - Doris
85

A killer full debut album with an incredible track list and features. Hive has one of the best verses from Vince Staples and Sunday is a heavy hitter. This album both sounds youthful and energetic but also sounds sad and can get introspective. Earl finds a good balance between being serious and also knowing when to lighten the mood. The production on here is also really good, this is a highlight in Earls career. It may not represent his true artistic abilities but it is a must listen for the ... read more
