Don’t Sleep | Brelstaff – In Human Terms
Don’t sleep on this latest beat tape from Brelstaff. It was released on February 15th this year. Brelstaff‘s self titled album was one of my favorite instrumental projects of 2020, so I was pretty optimistic going into this project, and it didn’t let me down. The first track is called The Case of Ape Bandit,…

Album Review | Vic Spencer – Psychological Cheat Sheet 2
This album was released on March 26th this year. Vic Spencer is a Chicago MC who I first heard of around 2015 when Mick Jenkins dissed him with a song called Headass. I don’t think I actually heard any of his music until a couple years later. He had a really great feature on Denmark…

Rating Kid Cudi’s Discography
The quality has definitely fluctuated a lot when it comes to Kid Cudi’s albums. Like I said in my recent review of his latest album, I don’t think he’ll ever reach the greatness of the original Man on the Moon again, but I’ll be satisfied just as long as he continues to make stuff that’s…

Album Review | Kid Cudi – Man on the Moon III: The Chosen
This album was released on December 11th in the year of our lord 2020. I feel like I don’t really know where to begin with this project. Around 2015, I would’ve told you that no Hip Hop artist had ever fallen off as hard as Kid Cudi did. I think the first Man on the…

EP Review | NoFace, Rapper – Filthy
This extended play was released on March 5th this year. NoFace released a pretty dope EP in February called Black Gold, and it kind of left me wanting more, so I was pleased to see that he dropped this other EP so soon after the release of that one. If I’m not mistaken, he’s gearing…

Album Review | Method Man & Redman – Blackout!
This album was released on September 28th in the year of our lord 1999. Method Man & Redman are widely considered to be one of the best duos in Hip Hop, so I’m expecting this to be a great album. When this was released, Redman was already coming off a string of great albums, my…

VIDEO PREMIERE | Duncecap – Bad Breath (‘Toid Up) feat. Googie & Lt. Headtrip [prod. Samurai Banana]
Here’s the music video for Bad Breath by Duncecap, which appeared on his Human Error album five years ago. Dunce has pretty much become one of my favorite music video directors alongside Jason Goldwatch. I really appreciate that all the lyrics are at the bottom of the screen as a caption, and there are a…

Rating Pharoahe Monch’s Discography
I think Pharoahe Monch is one of the greatest MCs to ever pick up a microphone. He’s one of those God-tier lyricists who I’ll always scramble to check out whenever he drops something. He’s got everything I personally look for in a Hip Hop artist. His flows, rhymes, diction, content, song-concepts, and even beat selection…

Best Singles of the Week | 2021: Week 12
This week was honestly a little slow for me, but it’s probably because I didn’t start writing about songs until like Thursday. I probably missed a few tracks. Anyway, this week I wanna highlight my review for Pro Zay & Timepiece’s collaborative album, ALLEY MUZIK. It’s got one of the best album covers of 2020,…
