Ne-Yo - Self Explanatory (2022)

Thoughts before: I think I added this album to my Apple Music library when I was really tired because when I woke up I don't remember doing it at all. But at first glance, it looks intriguing. 13 songs, 41 minutes makes it not too much of a chore to listen to if I don't think the album is good and I don't think I've ever heard a Ne-Yo song that doesn't sample So Sick and was made after 2013. Seriously, from The Kid LAROI to Pop Smoke, I've heard it all when it ... read more

Bryson Tiller - A N N I V E R S A R Y (2020)

Thoughts before: I've listened to this album a few times through, and multiple of the songs I've listened to 100+ times. I'm one of those people that listens to one song the entire day with very little change, but that behavior has started to differ in the past few weeks due to me reviewing these albums. I first listened to Bryson Tiller's Right My Wrongs and after that I started to expand from there. This will be the first review of an album I've ... read more

Ken Carson - X (2022)

Thoughts before: I have never heard a Ken Carson song, so I'm going into this album completely blind. After already planning to listen to this album, I did see a tiktok of him performing Yale at the Governor's Ball and I recognized a bit of the song which I didn't realize was him. He sounds a bit like Pi'erre Bourne with Playboi Carti production, and with this album being executively produced by Carti, I'm expecting a pretty solid work for his sophomore album. ... read more

Brent Faiyaz - WASTELAND (2022)

Thoughts before: I've listened to all the singles so far for this album, and I've heard F**k The World a few times, with Clouded being my favorite song out of that project. As far as these singles go, I really enjoyed GRAVITY, but PRICE OF FAME has been growing on me a lot lately, although I thought it was a bit long at first. But, I've heard big things coming for this album, and although it looks littered with skits, I'm looking forward to listening with an ... read more

Trey Songz - Tremaine (2017)

Thoughts before: Personally, I've never listened to many Trey Songz songs, but this album intrigued me because one of the songs I've listened to his apart from features is Nobody Else But You, which I absolutely love. I'm going into this album pretty open minded and I don't really have much idea on what to expect from a full Trey Songz album. ✅ ❌ ⭐

1 - The Prelude ✅
The Prelude sets a vibe for the album, one which I already like. The short intro to the ... read more

Chris Brown - Breezy (2022)

Thoughts before: At 24 tracks, Breezy is surprisingly less bloated than most other recent Chris Brown releases, but the feature list looks good and I'm definitely going into this album with high expectations. ✅ ❌ ⭐

1 - Till The Wheels Fall Off ✅
This song was pretty good from the start, and although I didn't like his pitched down vocals at the very start, I really liked Brown's chorus and Lil Durk's verse was good. But what really blew me out of the water ... read more

Drake - Honestly, Nevermind (2022)

Thoughts before: I listened to the album first right when it dropped and I've listened to it about 3 more times since then. I'd say I'm a pretty big Drake fan, compared to most of the people I converse with about music. I stuck up for Certified Lover Boy when it was getting hate for being bloated and too bland, because I thought that every song had its own unique spin and multiple Instagram quotables in each song. Unfortunately, I can't really say the same ... read more
