EP Review | S. Reidy – Sketchbook
This extended play was released on May 29th this year. I’ve only covered S. Reidy once before, and it was when he dropped a single called Abstract Gravity back in April. I’ve only heard like two songs from him in the past, but I’ve enjoyed everything so far, so hopefully this’ll be just as enjoyable.…

Best Singles of the Week | 2020: Week 26
We’ve officially made it halfway through 2020. Are y’all hangin’ in there? I know the general sentiment seems to be that 2020 is one of the worst years of the current millennium, and I kinda get it, I guess. 2016 was pretty goddamn rough though. 2012 was awful too. It seems like every year with…

Album Review | MIKE – Weight of the World
This album was released on June 21st this year. MIKE is pretty much at the forefront of the current wave of underground lo-fi Hip Hop. He’s the most popular member of the influential [sLUms]. crew. I prefer a lot of MIKE’s earlier work to his more recent material, but his tears of joy project from…

EP Review | Skyzoo – Milestones
This extended play was released on Juneteenth this year. Skyzoo already released one of the better EPs of 2020 in April with The Bluest Note, so I was a little surprised to see that he was following it up so soon. The one single that I heard from it instilled a lot of confidence though,…

Album Review | Backxwash – God Has Nothing to Do with This, Leave Him Out of It
This album was released on May 30th this year. Backxwash is an artist whose music I am relatively new to, but I’ve been aware of her work for a little over a year at this point. I recently listened to her first album, Deviancy, which was released in July of last year if I’m not…

EP Review | Skyzoo & Dumbo Station – The Bluest Note
This extended play was released on April 24th this year. I haven’t ever covered any of Skyzoo’s work here, but I’ve been aware of him ever since he dropped an album in 2012 entitled A Dream Deferred. The first full project from him that I listened to was 2015’s Music for My Friends. There’s one…

EP Review | Ransom & Nicholas Craven – Director’s Cut: Scene Two
This extended play was released on April 24th this year. The first Director’s Cut EP is the best project I’ve heard all year, so I’m really looking forward to hearing this. Ransom is an elite MC, and Nicholas Craven is an incredibly talented producer. I’m personally not expecting this to be on the same level…

EP Review | Ransom & Nicholas Craven – Director’s Cut: Scene One
This extended play was released on March 9th this year. Ransom is an MC I’ve been listening to ever since 2013 when he dropped his mixtape hosted by Big Mike entitled The Alternative. I loved that project, and ever since then I’ve considered him to be an elite level MC. He’s super under-appreciated, and he’s…

Best Singles of the Week | 2020: Week 24
Reminder: I’ll be livestreaming almost all of these songs at 5 PM EST right HERE, so join me for that. This week was kind of uneventful to be honest. Aside from me being radicalized and wanting to murder white supremacists, nothing exciting happened. Maybe I just wasn’t paying attention though. I was pretty depressed, so…

Album Review | Run the Jewels – Run the Jewels 4
This album was originally scheduled for release on June 5th this year. However, due to all the police-related chaos transpiring in the United States, Killer Mike & El-P decided to release it two days early, so that was a nice surprise. I still haven’t listened to it yet as of June 8th at 7:56 PM…

Album Review | Armand Hammer – Shrines
This album was released on June 5th this year. I’ve never written about Armand Hammer before, but this was actually one of my most anticipated releases of 2020. I really enjoyed the latest two projects from billy woods, and I’m an even bigger fan of Elucid. With that said, I’ve never really loved an Armand Hammer album.…
