A$AP Rocky - HIGHJACK
90

Not anything new but this goes hard.

Not the minecraft bar tho 💀

Joey Bada$$ - 2000
75

Joey is I think my second favorite artist of all time right behind outkast, and as ive sat with 2000 I see it as a testiament to everything thats made joey that consistant. (I mean literally the Nas cosign that so fing cool man)
Theirs some sort of closeness that Joey can bring to a track, for example show me; That one of the most emotionally resonant rap songs ive ever heard honestly, it feels so real to me.
The way Joey connects his sense of brotherhood and love of his city somehow connects ... read more

Lil Nas X - MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)
95

Lil Nas X's career trajectory is still fing crazy to me, it still kinda shocks me how from old townroad -> montero he defied like every expectation.

Childish Gambino - Bando Stone and The New World
65

Very interesting album.

Gambinos never been on one my favorites, but he always been an artist im really interested to see where they go. Gambino kinda reminds me of Tyler or Ye in a certain way, where he just kinda has the mind of a creative, and even if he isnt as consistent as those 2, he still has a lot of skill vocally and a usually interesting artistic vision. I think that adventurousness really shows on this album.

Its starts off with a track id more expect from like peggy, but gambino ... read more

Porter Robinson - SMILE! :D
80

I had no clue who porter was going into this, but this is pretty damn great! love the soundscape so much, found it really captivating. Multiple songs i think are in contention for song of the year.
: D

mgk - BMXXing
65

I feel like somethings off with the mix or volume or something? but its not bad at all

mgk - Lonely Road
44

Honestly its not as bad as i expected. mgks voice still sucks but everything was set up for this to be a 0 but im not feeling that

Yung Bleu - Confirmation (Remix)
65

"tic tac toe that p*ssy, tell my x I o that p*ssy" how tf does weezy keep doing it

DJ Premier - YA DON’T STOP
85

Weezy with the fortnite bars ( he carried the song! )

Tory Lanez - Wish I Never Met You (Prison Tapes)
24

Okay, i completely missed the tory lanez saga, i was never a fan of him so i didnt really gaf to learn exactly what he did, iirc he did some fucked up stuff to megan?

Song wise, ill say while its "impressive" this is on a prison phone, songs still bad .

OutKast - Ms. Jackson
100

So many f*ng i onic lines ima just let them speak

"And let her know her grandchild is a baby and not a pay check"

"On the oak tree, I hope we feel like this forever
Forever, forever ever? Forever ever?"

"So know this, know that everything’s cool
And yes, I will be present on the first day of school and graduation"

"So who you placin' the blame on? You keep on singin' the same song
Let bygones be bygones and you can go on and get the hell ... read more

Adrianne Lenker - Bright Future
95

86->95 finally relistened and its even better than before
Such, such a beautiful album. Adrianne is easily one of the best songwriters ive heard in her lane all time. Combined with her voice that has this gentle but strong tone that just commands some power, its really can get me emotions. Whenever she says something it just rips away at a part of you, and it feels effortless in a way, like a stream of this just powerful melody coming out of her.
I love this thing so much

99

Ok i just wanna talk about how crazy it is the Ye made such a hard song that he can say THAT line and it still goes this damn hard

Cordae - Saturday Mornings
85

Okay so I really didnt know where cordae was at artisticially in 2024, id only heard the lost boy, but this is really good.
Great great sample its got that classic feeling. Cordae was kinda a little more basic then i would have liked lyricially, but his flow was really great.
That lighter flick was niceee, smooth verse from weezy dont love the autotune fully but I cant complain when weezy was really going off, and his inflections in spots was nice asf

90

duuuuude i was waiting for aa weird al bad guy

Future - DS2
95

-decided to just count the deluxe songs on my review here cause like tf is ds2 without FUSC-

Ds2 is I the greatest trap album ever made. Every beats on here is hard and murky asf, i feel entranced in this dark world created. Futures preformances are at an all time most engaging. His voice is just so powerful and dark , the aura he commands is so notable.
The way its start with thought it was a drought, is such a crazy tone setter, scary beat, and probably futures most iconic line ever. ... read more

Quavo - Rocket Power
75

Quavos a bit more versatile then i realized, cool underrated project.

Its a quavo project, its obviously got some filler, but this is suprisingly pretty consistent, and introspective and heartfelt , backed by great production.
I knew patty cake and greatness were amazing songs going into this, but i was really impressed with how close quavo made me feel on a song like "hold me" which is far from a typical quavo song.
Quavos spends a good chunk of this album being introspective about ... read more

Mac Miller - Circles
75

Circles is one of these album that just feels like a warm hug, and like fuck its powerful.

Its just this beautiful little homely project, the way mac talks never feels like to much, he just feels like hes still their for you comforting you in the best way possible, and knowing hes dead that fucks with me, because I feel so much hope here.
This is really the most sad but powerful way macs career could end, theirs not a moment im not allured in this project. Good news has made me cry more than ... read more

Mac Miller - Good News
100

jus cried dont hit me up

Clairo - Charm
70

Fun album, i love the soundscape of the album and the instruments. Vocally while I do like clairos voice I think she felt a little repetitive in delivery and by the end i wasnt as invested even though the song quality never really dropped.

nomads prolly my favorite

"@B307 ithink i see what you mean, mix isnt something that you really affect my personal listening experience unless its genuinely trash like on jik but i can hear what youre saying on here. Yeah pennyroyals def high school shit, the songs less about the breakup itself and more about how joey struggles to process it because he doesnt really understand what she meant to him, again high school shit, but i think theirs a power to that youthful energy when it forced to be humbled, i guess i see it relatable in like a high schoolish way"

On Joey Bada$$ - 1999
"@B307 ty! been meaning to check out liquid sqords, so yeah ill prolly review that soon! I generally think steez and joey always had a lot more emotional presence and their passion shined through in ways I dont see in some other boombap rappers. 1999 addresses from multiple directions of joeys mindset. I feel like you can really here joeys passion on hardknock, his denial of his heartbreak in pennyroyal is so relatable, his drive on survival tactics rivals people like nas. And i think thats griselda literally biggest problem, westside gunn is so immensly talented, but I feel like he always raps in the same exact way, I know who westside gunn is as a rapper, but I dont feel that inner motivation that makes him tick as a person."
