Westside Gunn - And Then You Pray For Me
79

y’all are tweaking this album is so cool. i love gunn’s dusty vinyl stuff but the way his voice sounds over “typical” trap beats is such a fun dichotomy. kostas sent my jaw to the floor

Ken Carson - A Great Chaos
74

losing points for shit talking my goat julius randle

Bad Bunny - nadie sabe lo que va a pasar mañana
65

was very excited for this record but came away really disappointed. besides some highlights like Cybertruck and VOU 787, the production is dated and too minimalist for bad bunny’s monotone flows. maybe next time

Drake - For All The Dogs
63

one of the worst first listens in his entire discography. a blockbuster album that holds no charm or interesting ideas. an absolute step down from both HNVM and Her Loss. there are a couple songs that are growing on me (Rich Baby Daddy, Drew a Picasso, Fear of Heights) but besides that I am less and less likely to return to this project as the weeks go on

Lil Tecca - TEC
76

supremely underrated project the best on HVN ON EARTH is bonkers

Doja Cat - Scarlet
48

all the controversy and headlines to drop one of the most average records of the year. sesame street rap. she goin out sad.

Tinashe - BB/ANG3L
84

one of my favorite listens of the year. i want more songs like treason. the way that song builds without a real drop is so interesting and tinashe sounds amazing on it

James Blake - Playing Robots into Heaven
81

loading is one of the best songs i’ve heard this year. a phenomenal concept record that would sound insane in a shit venue off a bean

Teezo Touchdown - How Do You Sleep At Night?
66

the album that secured his legacy as an above average feature artist and nothing more

Quavo - Rocket Power
78

genuinely one of the better rap records of the year. love quavo’s vulnerability and his decision to play with some different styles allows for a lot of flexibility. rip take

Nas - Magic 2
70

consistently decent but definitely the weakest of his more recent work

Noname - Sundial
67

good ideas and solid wordplay but monotone delivery, boring production, and a lack of self awareness from noname makes for a quite jarring listen.

63

i actually weirdly like the aesthetic of this one (especially in the beats) but not much else. lucki's sleepy delivery is cool for maybe three tracks. desperately needed features. oh well.

Lil Uzi Vert - Pink Tape
78

condense this down to 12 tracks and you'd probably have a great record. flooded the face is amazing, and the run from nakamura to fire alarm + werewolf are some of the best uzi tracks i've heard. there's just far too much filler and far too much mid within that. hopefully this goes the same route as eternal atake and the "deluxe" second album is leagues ahead.

Young Thug - BUSINESS IS BUSINESS
74

if this is a response to gunna, he failed. as it's own record, it's just fine. oh u went and uncle m are dope tracks but there's little substance or fun in these records. its definitely well made, it just doesn't warrant repeat listens. so much fun is still his peak.

Travis Scott - UTOPIA
90

this is the closest thing he's ever made to rodeo, but it sounds nothing like rodeo. the beat switch on thank god, the ending of my eyes, the feature on meltdown, the entirety of telekinesis. man... it's seriously all blockbuster shit. sonically its out of this world. harpsichord shit on sirens, travis' version of rage beats on fe!n, the alchemist switch up on lost forever, it all makes for one of the best first listens i've ever had. this is probably mainstream album of the year, and in my ... read more

Gunna - a Gift & a Curse
79

no features and no wheezy makes this comeback record tuff asf. bro put his money where his mouth is and delivered 15 pretty quality trap bangers. i wish there were features to break up some of the sonic monotony and that he rapped less about the snitching allegations, but overall a very cool record to add to his pretty stellar discography

SoFaygo - GO+
77

actually better than i expected. "backseat" might be his best song and i hope he continues to explore that sound

Kenny Mason - 6
78

this project pat joint is NUTS
