  • Jessy Lanza – Love Hallucination: Review

    Continuing the course of techno-pop and electronica, Jessy Lanza showcases a hold of her style in essence through these whimsical vocal performances and lovely productions on her latest album, Love Hallucination. When speaking on her sound, it’s hard not to find yourself captivated by the melancholic bliss guiding you from beginning to end. Its central…

  • Travis Scott – Utopia: Review

    Much time has transpired since the Astroworld tragedy that left many dead and families stricken with grief, but for Travis Scott, his sympathies have gone down the drain – oh, and new music has been stagnant, I guess. A single here, a featured verse there, and now, five years since his Astroworld album, Travis has…

  • CARLY RAE JEPSEN – THE LOVELIEST TIME: REVIEW

    It’s no denying I wasn’t the fondest of Carly Rae Jepsen’s last album, The Loneliest Time, but it wasn’t something that I totally disliked. When I saw her last month in concert, some of the loudest I sang was with the performances of “Surrender My Heart” and “Talking To Yourself,” but it’s safe to say…

  • Nas & Hit-Boy – Magic 2: Review

    When Nas & Hit-Boy released Magic in 2021, Nas made a bold proclamation about how they’re the next GangStarr, the next Premo and Guru – as bold as that proclamation is, I never expected it to turn into a speedrun of releases to further that idea. Since then, Nas delivered on that with King’s Disease…

  • [prcy®] – RBXRR V (RBVRR) Presents: Act II — Continuance: Review

    When it comes to the indie scene, there are vast arrays of artists to steer to and frankly, no real lousy direction, unlike the popular side where you get that poor new will.i.am and Britney Spears single. However, when it comes to Hip-Hop, the consistency runs high, more so than particular industry plants I’ve had…

  • Taylor Swift – Speak Now (Taylor’s Version): Review

    When looking back at Taylor Swift’s career and this current run of rerecorded albums, much has changed. She’s grown, becoming a better writer and trying new styles. But when it comes to those original three albums, post-self-titled debut, they don’t carry the youth spirit deriving from the giggles, laughs, and joyful spoken moments like that…

  • Young Thug – Business Is Business: Review

    A week after Gunna released a Gift & a Curse, Young Thug released his follow-up to Punk, Business is Business. Leading to the album, YSL labelmates, friends, and associated acts and producers posted a QR code that led to a countdown indicating a new release by the currently incarcerated rapper. Unfortunately, Business is Business isn’t…

  • Kool Keith – Black Elvis 2: Review

    It’s a constant delight for fans of older hip-hop artists when one of them drops an album; so for fans of Ultramagnetic MC Kool Keith, he’s back with another album in 2023, the follow-up to 1999’s Black Elvis/Lost in Space, Black Elvis 2. Unlike its predecessor, it isn’t overtly complex with the dimensions of its…

  • Gunna – a Gift & a Curse: Review

    To say the past year has been tumultuous for Gunna, Young Thug, and others apart of the Slime Gang/YSL Record label as they continue toughing it through their RICO case is an understatement. Fans and the world alike have gone through ups and downs as we see their lyrics get used as evidence and continuously…

  • The Aces – I’ve Loved You For So Long: Review

    The Aces don’t forget who they are and what makes them so distinct beyond treading genre lines of Synth-Pop. Throughout their career, they have been tackling varying dimensions of pop, whether internal or external, as they establish a base without gender being a tag and becoming something unique on their own. They’ve built a base…
