Album Review | Planet Asia & 38 Spesh – Trust the Chain
This album was released on February 28th this year. If you’ve followed me for the past year you hopefully know that I’m a big fan of Planet Asia, and I personally consider him to be one of the most under-appreciated underground West Coast legends in Hip Hop. I think this latest album was announced either…

Album Review | Boldy James & The Alchemist – The Price of Tea in China
This album was released on February 7th this year. Boldy James & The Alchemist released a collaborative extended play in December of last year entitled Boldface. It was pretty dope, but I was too busy at the time to listen and write a full review for it. I didn’t actually end up checking it out…

EP Review | Nems – Bamboo
This extended play was released on February 28th this year. Nems released one of my favorite albums of 2019 with Gorilla Monsoon, so I was pretty excited when he announced this EP. It’s only three tracks, but I’ll take whatever I can get from him because he’s a fucking beast on the mic. He also…

Album Review | Elaquent – Forever Is a Pretty Long Time
This album was released on February 21st this year. Elaquent is a producer who I first became familiar with last year when he released Blessing in Disguise with my favorite record label, Mello Music Group. It was mostly an instrumental project, with a few features peppered in here and there. The formula was flipped for…

Best Singles of the Week | 2020: Week 10
It’s currently Thursday, so I have a shit ton of work to do right now. I really gotta stop waiting ’til the last minute to start writing this shit. It takes a really goddamn long time. I also think I might just stop writing these short preambles because I have pretty much nothing to say.…

EP Review | Medhane – FULL CIRCLE
This extended play was released on February 18th this year. Honestly, even though I ended up enjoying Own Pace more than I was expecting, I’m still not really expecting this project to be that great. A lot of my friends seem to think that this is a step down from the aforementioned album. I guess…

Album Review | PSYPIRITUAL & The Lasso – Kirlian
This album was released on February 7th this year. If you’ve been keeping up with my weekly “Best Singles of the Week” posts, you’ve seen me talk about the singles for this album. Before hearing anything, I’d only ever heard PSYPIRITUAL’s feature on Lando Chill’s 2018 album, Black Ego. That album was also my introduction to…

Tardy Album Review | Medhane – Own Pace
This album was released on November 12th last year. I’m gonna be honest; I don’t think I’m gonna like this shit that much. Medhane has never really been that interesting of an artist to me. Even a lot of my friends who are super into this recent wave of underground lofi Hip Hop seem to…

EP Review | Deniro Farrar – Sole Food
This extended play was released on February 21st this year. Deniro Farrar is an MC from my home state of North Carolina whose name I’d seen floating around the internet for the better part of the previous decade, but I didn’t actually start paying attention until I heard one of the singles from this project.…

Best Singles of the Week | 2020: Week 9
Once again, I was kind of distracted by politics, and I’m just getting back into the groove of listening to music and writing reviews, so this week might be just as slow as the previous one, if not slower. Just bear with me. The mental illness has been kinda rough, but I can’t front. I’ve…

EP Review | D. Lanham & Ronesh – Ikarus Rising
This extended play was released on February 18th this year. D. Lanham is an MC from Georgia who I’ve slowly been becoming more familiar with since around October of 2019. It’s my understanding that he’s been going through a rebrand as of late, and he’s been struggling with a nerve condition, which I believe has…

Album Review | Che` Noir & 38 Spesh – Juno
This album was released on Valentine’s Day this year. Che` Noir dropped one of my favorite albums of 2019 and consequently became one of my favorite new artists, so I was super excited when I heard about this project. I originally thought her next album would be called The Essence because she said something along…
