Album Review | Denzel Curry & Kenny Beats – UNLOCKED
This project was released on February 7th along with an accompanying short film. It’s the length of an extended play, but pretty much every person that I’ve seen talking about it has referred to it as an album. Personally, I’m not really expecting this album to be that good, but I’ve never really been that…

Best Singles of the Week | 2020: Week 8
My headphones didn’t end up getting replaced until Friday, so I had a lot of music to catch up on over the weekend. Again, it’s possible that I missed a few songs, so you’ll have to forgive me for that. Throughout the week, I was mostly focused on Bloomberg getting stopped & frisked on the…

Album Review | Navy Blue – Àdá Irin
This album was released on February 4th this year. Navy Blue, a.k.a. Sage Elsesser, is probably best known as a model and professional skater. He’s also responsible for the art direction on my favorite Earl Sweatshirt album, I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside. Until late last year, he really wasn’t an artist that…

EP Review | Marv Won – until…
This extended play was released on February 4th this year. Marv Won is a super talented rapper whose work I unfortunately haven’t ever covered here. I think he’s more well known for his battle rap career, but he’s a super talented songwriter and artist. Battle rappers are notorious for their poor music, but Marv is…

Album Review | Dueling Experts
This album was released on January 31st this year. Dueling Experts is a newly formed duo comprised of Verbal Kent & Recognize Ali. I’m personally more familiar the former due to his work with Ugly Heroes, but I’ve recently listened to some solo work from both of them, and they’re definitely both good rappers. Recognize…

Tardy Album Review | Mavi – Let the Sun Talk
This album was released on October 7th last year. Mavi is a rapper from Charlotte, North Carolina—NC STAND UP!—who released this album to widespread critical acclaim. Pretty much all of my friends and the overwhelming majority of music Twitter list this as one of the best Hip Hop albums of 2019. I’ve been really blown…

Best Singles of the Week | 2020: Week 7
This week my headphones broke, so that kinda hindered my progress here. I’m hoping that I didn’t sleep on any notable releases, but I was disheartened by this great loss. This coming week might be relatively slow, but I’ll have at least three reviews up by Friday, so it won’t be completely barren. If you’re…

Album Review | fly anakin – at the end of the day.
This album was released on January 26th this year. fly anakin is one of the most popular members of Mutant Academy, which is the hottest thing in the underground right now if I’m not mistaken. I think one could argue that [sLUms]. are bigger, but I think the growth and increase in attention surrounding Mutant…

Don’t Sleep | T.R.3 – GRIEF
Don’t sleep on this latest extended play from T.R.3. Some of you will hopefully remember the review that I wrote last month for his ANGELES EP. That was only the second project I’d ever listened to from him, and I was a bit taken aback when I heard it because it was such a drastic…

EP Review | Blockhead – Tiny Bubbles
This extended play was released on January 16th this year. Some of you may remember that at the beginning of 2019 I reviewed Blockhead’s Free Sweatpants album. I really enjoyed that project, but I unfortunately never got the chance to review his second album of 2019, Bubble Bath, which came out in November. That shit…

Tardy Album Review | billy woods – Terror Management
This album was released on October 4th in 2019. billy woods had already released his best work to date earlier in the year, so when I saw this new album being teased soon after on Twitter I was pretty surprised. I’m always skeptical when artists plan on releasing multiple projects in the same year because…
