Pinned Review

A-Wax - Jr. High 2 The Pen Vol. 1
93

For my 50th review, I am going to talk about one of the best underground 2000's underground albums that nobody talks about. I ask you if you're reading this review to just listen to a couple of the songs, at least Thatz Not or Feelin Sorry, which I consider A-Wax's best songs.
The production is aggressive and hungry, and as much as I hate him, I can definitely see some Kanye influence in it with the early chipmunk soul production. This style works out really well with this stage ... read more

Vince Staples - Cry Baby

Tom MacDonald should take notes, this is a true definition of political rap.
It was a pleasant surprise getting to see some punk rock influences here with some dark and energetic guitar parts. As much as I loved it though, I found it getting a bit repetitive towards the end.
Lyrically, Vince covers the pain which he and his community suffered, how there's too much hate and violence around, and the injustice everywhere in America.
Overall, It's a great album without a doubt, although ... read more

Thank you @WilWith1L for the recommendation and for creating this album overall.

I'll start with the production, which in my opinion is the biggest highlight. It has a large variety of sounds, where sometimes it's eerie, and then sometimes it's joyful. Then the songs with the chipmunk soul production are almost guaranteed the best songs.
I think there could have been more energy and confidence in the rapping and voice, even though they show some sorts of emotion in the lyrics, ... read more

B0AH - In Between the Sky and the Stars.
76

Finally got a release from B0AH on all music platforms!!!!!

I would like to give a huge thanks to B0AH for being my first ever follower, and its crazy that I'm now approaching 100, which may seem small, but to me it means a lot so shout to you and all my other followers too!

About the album:
The beats on the album totally reflected the tracklists names really accurately, even without the use of any words. It's kinda crazy how most of the stuff I've heard from B0AH is rage ... read more

Khaidar - where dawn and dusk blur
94

Hi Khaidar, sorry that it took me this long to review this, but after looking back into my recommendations list, I found this as one of my earliest ones so I feel like it deserved my attention.

For the review, I only have positive things to say. I love the instrumental route, and I think that this production here is really really really high quality. It has a super nice smooth tone and flow, even without having any lyrics, which is quite impressive.
This short project uses some good chopping ... read more

Freddie Gibbs - RBT
81

We get some decent flows from Freddie here, in a middle ground between his laid back recent flows and his more hungry rapping style. The beats are pretty basic, especially considering how Freddie has linked up and built connections with some of the best producers in the game. The production surprisingly doesn't use too many samples like The Alchemist or Madlib, but it still worked fine.
I'm sure this review sounds kinda negative, although I still think that this was a pretty solid ... read more

About

Every week I have a new theme where I put my 5 favorite albums, so try to guess it in my shoutbox if you think you got it and I'll tell you. (Last week was debut albums)

15 year old male, elite music taste, elite golfer, elite baseball player, half decent producer, great lyricist by my voice sounds a$$, and just started working on my first album, but I'm busy so it still needs some time.

I usually rate music pretty leniently cause I'm a happy guy
