Freddie Gibbs - Alfredo 2
90

Alfredo 2 is a 90 for me. Production wise Alchemist feels like he’s saving his best beats for Freddie, the whole thing just sounds godly. Ensalada is easily my favorite song of the year, Gold feat and I Still Love Her are up there too. Freddie sounds locked in on every track, the chemistry with Al is still unmatched. It’s the kind of album where every detail in the beats and flows makes you rewind. Not perfect but it’s exactly what I wanted from them.

JID - God Does Like Ugly
88

Somewhere between an 88 and a 90 for me. Still figuring it out.

The first 6 tracks are all fire — no skips.
JID is fully locked in: flows, beats, energy — everything in its right place.

Right after track 6 though, there’s a slight drop.
What We On and Sk8 didn’t really land for me.
Felt like the album slipped for a sec...

But then No Boo hits and it’s right back on track. From there it picks up again heavy.

Favs:

Tyler, The Creator - CHROMAKOPIA
92

It’s definitely one of Tyler’s more personal projects. The lyrics feel mad real, and the production is super tight — warm, detailed, got that classic Tyler layering but still feels new.

Favs so far: St. Chroma, Noid, Take Your Mask Off, Thought I Was Dead, and Hey Jane (this one lowkey hit me emotionally).

Not every track hits the same tho — like Sticky didn’t really click with me, even though the beat goes hard. Just felt a bit outta place.

Honestly I am stuck ... read more
