Stop comparing North to her dad — she’s better than him (since 2022, obviously… relax). This is a crazy EP, I’ve rarely heard anything like it in the underground. She didn’t just take inspiration from rage/experimental sounds in that scene, she really made them her own on this project.

Even vocally and on the rap side, she delivers — she’s got real potential. Hopefully she keeps going like this.

Fav track: D!e

Great project — better than the previous one in my opinion. There’s less emphasis on the rap this time around, although Shinoda still delivers some really strong verses, and I actually found him slightly better than on the previous album.
This record leans more into a pure metal sound, and I think it suits them really well.
Fav tracks: Somewhere I Belong, Numb

When people who don’t like trap explain why, they’re basically describing this project: repetitive, uninspired production, painfully boring flows, overused concepts and themes, and features with zero surprise…

It’s just boring.

This is the first rock album I’ve ever listened to, and I’m very pleasantly surprised. The production is incredible — even without much experience in the genre, it’s easy to hear how well-crafted everything is. The guitars, drums, and overall instrumentation are sharp, powerful, and perfectly controlled, giving the album a huge amount of energy.

Chester Bennington’s voice is exceptional. He can scream with incredible intensity while staying controlled and on ... read more

Harder Than Ever is a mixtape... pretty underwhelming. I liked the attempts at more introspective and emotional tracks, but they’re really poorly executed — at times it just sounds like a messy, badly digested mix of Young Thug influences.

Some songs, like the intro, lack energy; even he sounds like he doesn’t want to be there. And even for trap, I find the lyrics really weak — he repeats the same phrases over and over, sometimes across multiple different ... read more

I keep exploring Future’s discography with this solid mixtape. Future delivers what he does best: dark trap. Unfortunately, a lot of the tracks sound pretty similar — that’s the main flaw of Future’s mixtapes in my opinion.

Fav track: 56 Nights

Another solid mixtape once again. Future’s dark flows match perfectly with Zaytoven’s production (his piano work is incredibly talented and seriously underrated).

You could really tell this was the beginning of his career. It isn’t very well mixed, and a lot of the tracks sound pretty similar. Still, there are definitely some qualities to be found here, especially his strong rapping ability. You can clearly hear Young Thug’s influence and guidance in his flows and lyrics.

Fav tracks: Against Me, Cop Me A Foreign

They perfectly understood what makes a great collaborative trap mixtape: two artists on the same wavelength, complementing each other well, coming together to just rap.

I do miss the time when Lil Baby and Gunna were on good terms. They were both still at a really high level, knew how to find the right flows and pockets — basically, they knew how to get the best out of the production.

But what really stands out on this mixtape is the chemistry between the two. Their verses flow ... read more

Excellent project — Thugger’s first studio album manages to reach the level of some of his legendary mixtapes. It blends sunny tracks with energetic trap production, and Young Thug doesn’t disappoint when it comes to flows and delivery.

Even the features do their job — some deliver really strong verses, like Gunna or Juice WRLD, while others genuinely surprised me with solid performances, like MGK or NAV.

As for the flaws, the album is a bit too long, and it probably ... read more

Solid mixtape. Nothing mind-blowing, but I like this kind of project where it’s just good rapping over solid production without trying to do too much. Osamason is really good in that slightly experimental rage lane.

Fav tracks: 2X, Movie
Least fav: Blame Dem Drugz

What an album… This is my first time listening to anything from Marvin Gaye, and I’m far from disappointed. I’m not really sure what to say in this review since I don’t usually listen to much soul, but what I felt is that this project is more than just music.

The themes, the vocals, the instrumentals — everything is perfect, nothing is left to chance. Another quality that really stands out while listening is how personal and touching it feels.

The album is ... read more

It’s not a very innovative project, whether in terms of flows, production, lyrics, or the themes overall — but that’s kind of its strength. It’s easy to listen to, you can throw it on in pretty much any situation, just playing in the background through your headphones, and it works.

I maybe expected a bit more from Drake and Future, especially in 2015, right after they had released IYRTITL and DS2 respectively.

As for the tracks, I don’t really understand why ... read more

A project that really reflects Lil Peep’s early days: not very well mixed, not the most original production, and yet still a really enjoyable listening experience. The beginning didn’t convince me that much, until the incredible run of tracks from nuts to vibe.

Unfortunately, unlike Lil Peep; Part One, this mixtape doesn’t deliver the same level of emotion, nor does it leave a particularly strong impression on the listener (at least in my opinion). It’s a fairly basic ... read more

This album has something truly special about it. At first, you think it’s bad — it’s dull, poorly mixed, badly rapped and poorly sung. And then you keep going, you sink deeper into the album, you start absorbing each track. You focus on the lyrics, the production, the atmospheric vibe of the project.

And then it clicks.

The project is so sincere and introspective that you quickly get pulled into its world. I’ve rarely experienced that while listening to an album.

I’ve looked at the reviews and ratings for this album, and honestly, I think people are overrating it a bit. It’s not exceptional, nothing mind-blowing, and it’s not the kind of album I can come back to often without getting bored.

That being said, it’s still a solid project. The El-P and Killer Mike collaboration works really well — there’s great chemistry, the rapping is strong, and I have to admit the production is quite innovative.

It’s not an ... read more

There are some decent and listenable tracks here, but it’s painfully boring overall. This is basically a Will Smith-type album — a boomer constantly reminiscing about his prime, when he was dropping classics and was one of the biggest legends in rap… a time that’s been long gone.

I didn’t expect much from Snoop Dogg, who has nothing left to prove and seems to be making music just for fun at this point, but it still feels out of place sitting in the same ... read more

Trippie Redd is very talented, so he can easily deliver projects packed with huge bangers. His voice is still as distinctive and powerful as ever, and he knows how to rap over pretty much any type of production.

Now, there are several issues. First of all, it’s 2023 — seeing a trap artist jump into drill at this point just doesn’t work. Second, some of the production choices are really questionable (like those heavy, saturated kicks on “Pray 4 Us” — they ... read more

Another solid project from Che — easy to listen to, well-produced, good energy, solid rapping… sure. But the aggressive flow and lyrics, plus that unusually deep voice compared to his usual style… you’re NOT Playboi Carti, bro. The Whole Lotta Red influence feels a bit overdone on this EP in my opinion, but it’s still pretty cool overall.
Favorite track: Kittens (best track on the EP when he goes back to his normal voice btw)

Another very solid project from Joey, who’s been incredibly consistent for over a decade now. This mixtape blends hip-hop sounds and flows with softer, R&B-tinged themes. The features all bring something to the table — Westside Gunn delivers on the rap side, while Ty Dolla $ign adds a smooth hook that fits the project’s vibe perfectly.
Favorite tracks: Dark Aura, BK’s Finest
