Malcolm Todd - Do That Again
70

On his latest effort, Malcolm cultivates a really smooth, beautiful album, even though his lyricism takes an obsessive turn and he doesn’t output any major bangers.

Vince Staples - Cry Baby
80

Vince says a lot and sounds great. This is one of my favorite political-based rap albums that I've ever heard based on the instrumentation alone. Gorgeous.

Michael Jackson - Invincible
80

This project is by no means perfect, but signifies a beautiful shift in Jackson's creative career and produces a lot of good music in the process. I don't understand why this album is so slept on.

Prince and The Revolution - Purple Rain
90

Okay this Michael guy might just have some competition...

Kali Uchis - Isolation
80

While kali is still far from stardom, her smooth delivery and catchy flows had extraordinary potential from even in the Isolation era of her career.

Michael Jackson - Dangerous
70

He is clearly past his prime, but still the goat. Some of the lyricism is pretty corny and weird, but it still sounds like MJ.

JPEGMAFIA - EXPERIMENTAL RAP
80

It sounds incredible, but the rapping isn’t anything new. Luckily, if it sounds good enough, the lyrics don’t matter…

LUCKI - Dr*gs R Bad
40

I love the ideas behind Lucki; his production and vibe. However, I can’t STAND his SAME flow on every single song. It just make the music so boring for me. The sleepy mumble-rap style feels really overused and boring in Lucki’s music, to me, so i’m just not the biggest fan.

Little Simz - Sugar Girl
60

There is some interesting ideas here, but nothing partiocularly substantial.

Drake - MAID OF HONOUR
10

No one wanted more sex-drake. The one compliment that I can give this album is that it's not very predictable. Though, in some ways, that's a detriment.

Drake - HABIBTI
20

It's like someone heard $$$4U, thought it was the best album they'd ever heard, and still did a poor job of replicating it. Even the best moments on this project are medicore at best. This is now what I will think of when asked about R&B slop.

Drake - ICEMAN
40

It's honestly sad how much of the album is just Drake whining about Kendrick and throwing pop shots at him when no one gives a single shit. For the first 2/3 of the project, I honestly liked all the beat switches (even though 1 of the 2 beats would always be pretty terrible) and the generally interesting sound, but by the end, it was all so bloated and repetitive, that I began to really dislike the album as a whole. Drake just can't help but plump up his albums with terrible songs, ... read more

SOFIA ISELLA - Something is a shell .
40

The overly-pretentious Pop project from Sofia Isella has solid writing but ultimately misses the mark.

Nas - Illmatic
90

Yeah he's the blueprint.

Steely Dan - Can't Buy a Thrill
80

This project made me feel like I needed to get out there with my loved ones and prance around in an open field.

vax - Blue Dawn
70

He’s not slayr, but he’s close. The uniqueness and consistent banging appeal of this project signals a really bright future for Vax.

Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas
80

A gorgeous dream pop album that sounds far ahead of its time. It’s like old magdalena bay, in some ways.

prettifun - FunHouse
70

While FunHouse still exemplifies the trademark plugg-rage sound that Pretti has been cultivating, its production and his flows on it are leaning more towards the osamason and ches of the genre, leaving Pretti less creative room. Because of this lack of uniqueness, this is my least favorite project of Pretti’s up to this point in his career, but he still has a handful of bangers.

prettifun - Pretti
80

In one of the better digicore/rage projects that I have heard in recent years, Prettifun waltzes his way to a banger of an album.

prettifun - Hi-Fi
70

Creativity and banger-ness are the most important aspects of modern trap and while prettifun doesn't blow either of these metrics out of the water, he does pretti damn well.
