Boldy James & Nicholas Craven - Penalty of Leadership
73
'Penalty of Leadership' serves as a nice return for Boldy James after the mini hiatus he took, for Boldy James' standards, after the car crash he was involved in last year. The album has a little more of a introspective and personal angle compared to his typical style of cold blooded gangster rap. Despite me being a huge fan of his typical style, it's a nice change of pace for him which produces some great tracks. Production from Nicholas Craven is very nice with lots of emphasis on 80s soul ... read more
Vince Staples - RAMONA PARK BROKE MY HEART
47
I imagine this is what everyone else hears when they listen to the self titled album.

Best track: when sparks fly

Worst track: Mama's boy

Gunna - DS4EVER
52
Some cool production on here, shame that it's gunna rapping on them
Aminé - TWOPOINTFIVE
75
While this mixtape could be fleshed out more, for what it is this is a really fun listen. The hyper pop influences are really interesting and totally unexpected from aminé. His best project to date for me.
Baby Keem - The Melodic Blue
46
Baby Keem was a name that I first heard when he dropped one of the singles for this album 'durag activity' featuring Travis Scott which I found to be pretty lifeless and bland. Then not too long after he dropped 'family ties' with his cousin, Kendrick Lamar. While overall I didn't care for this track that much, I could see that there was a lot of potential in Baby Keem's sound with his fun and unique vocal inflections and flows. I thought that he actually outperformed Kendrick on that song. ... read more

After that, the list will be gradually added to, a bit like RYM's "featured reviews" on the front page. So if you're interested, please shoutout 4x AOTY review links, including at least 1 from you and 1 from another user. (Reminder: minimum 3,000 characters). Finally, if you don't want to be included in this list because another user has chosen you, please let me know.
In parallel, I have just published my second review of my new series "No Sleep on This: https://www.albumoftheyear.org/user/doublez/album/20799-from-a-compound-eye/
and my list has just been published: https://www.albumoftheyear.org/user/doublez/list/182368/no-sleep-on-this/
Thank you in advance for your support. Love

Hey Phillip
I hope you're well! Voila, I'm launching a new list of communities that I'm offering you to participate in (if you want to, of course). This is the first wave and I've thought of you for the launch. To pay tribute to all the enthusiasts of this site, "Long Reviews - AOTY Guide" will group together all the reviews of over 3000 characters (minimum) that users wish to highlight because they are particularly proud or fans (Regardless of publication date). The aim is to give priority to writing, without underestimating oneself, as the list will above all be a place for sharing, with everyone having a place here. You'll have several choices: either submit your own reviews, and/or submit those of others. In the interests of sharing, we'll initially try to limit the number of reviews appearing on the list. For example, it won't be possible to have more than 2 reviews included per user. To continue..
