Saweetie bands together with fellow rising female rapper, Doja Cat, to salute camaraderie on their new collaboration "Best Friend." The short (and unfortunately not very sweet) track showcases a lackluster, minimalist instrumental throughout the entirety of the song, and fails to make much of any impact on the listener. Doja Cat begins the song with a strong start on the chorus, and Saweetie finishes off the chorus and begins her first verse with very weak and dull delivery. There's ... read more

After a safe choice for a lead single with 2020's "Let Me Love You Like A Woman", Lana del Rey kicks off 2021 with an impeccable release.

Flo Milli's debut project, "Ho, why is you here ?" is sure to leave every last listener in awe at her raw confidence and powerful, inspiring energy. It's an incredible selection of bangers that is sure to bring you some joy to an otherwise dull, lifeless year. The boldness of the 20-year old MC is perfectly showcased on this infectious record; however, the album does fail to present a wider range of topics throughout the lyrics. The mixtape presents a consistent streak of signature ... read more

This was my very first introduction to the musical stylings of Zella Day, and I'm thoroughly impressed. The atmosphere that this EP creates is unbelievably stunning. The dreamy fusion of disco, indie, country, and pop made for an excellent release. The standout track, "My Game", showcases a strong 70s disco vibe reminiscent of the works of Donna Summer. With its enchanting four-on-the-floor rhythm, it'll leave you ready to take over the dance floor of Studio 54. This aesthetically ... read more
