MAVI - The Pilot
80

This type of jazz, conscious hip hop is best when the message is good, production is beautiful and rapping is smooth. Luckily, Mavi's Pilot does all of that pretty well.

Mild High Club - Skiptracing
70

chill nice little beatles beats

Snarky Puppy - Somni
80

The grand, beautifully atmospheric, and uniquely experimental soundscape is something you can easily lose yourself in.

slayr - Half Blood
90

A really creative, banging sound blossoms from this rage/plugg project in which slayr showcases stupendous versatility.

2hollis - boy
70

This grand synth scape sounds beautiful and ambitious, furthering hollis’ sound, but not making me miss the old white tiger any less.

OsamaSon - Osama Season
60

Some of the most revolutionary UG beats ever can only do so much for a project.

EsDeeKid - Rebel
80

Not only does Esdeekid almost perfect Jerk, but his UK Rap distinction is amazing, as well...

Aler Himself - Sweet Ablutions
90

The world would be a better place if all conscious hip hop was able to sound as good while still conveying messages as importantly as Aler Himself. This guy just needs to make a couple bigger hits, market himself on larger platforms than AOTY (thanks for the recc btw Aler, shit was fire), and I am confident he will go places. Fantastic project.

2hollis - 2
80

With a bit less of an emphasis on the rage and more on the synth-heavy melodies and electropop elements, this project felt a bit more repetitive and boring than hollis’ last for me, but still provides a great listen for its half hour runtime.

Earl Sweatshirt - Live Laugh Love
80

You get what you’ve come to expect from Earl Sweatshirt in this project. Nothing particularly bad, but also nothing particularly outstanding.

Denzel Curry & Kenny Beats - UNLOCKED
70

Even though it’s not necessarily intended as a studio album listen, the cohesion and consistent bangers between the tracks are classic Zel and provide more than enough entertainment for the mere 17 minutes the project runs for.

2hollis - White Tiger
90

A phenomenal combination of hyperpop, synthscape, and rage-hip hop, White Tiger captures the attention and makes me want to listen to a LOT more 2hollis.

Earl Sweatshirt & The Alchemist - Voir Dire
80

It didn’t make me fall in love with Earl, but entertained my ears for 30 min and reaffirmed my enjoyment of the alchemist’s production. Great album.

2hollis - star
70

It's well produced and hard-hitting at times, but I can't help but be underwhelmed with the blandness of it as a finished product.

SoFaygo - MANIA
40

The album isn’t bad, but does nothing different from his past projects, is far too long, and just acts as a disappointing reminder that he could do a lot more interesting things with his sound.

Earl Sweatshirt - SICK!
80

There is something really fresh and modern-feeling about this project, while still maintaining Earl’s beloved style.

Denzel Curry - ZUU
80

Very little cohesion, very many bangers.

Richy Mitch & the Coal Miners - RMCM
80

This project feels like a slow walk with a lover through the beautiful southern Montana wilderness, and I couldn't have enjoyed it a lot more.

Earl Sweatshirt - FEET OF CLAY
70

It's more earl sweatshirt. It's sleepy, interesting, and quick.

Earl Sweatshirt - Some Rap Songs
80

The really depressing, fantastically cohesive, and stupidly enrapturing rap project feels like an unfinished MF Doom demo at times, but mostly holds its own for the quick, jam-packed runtime.
