EP Review | J57 – VOLTAIRE.
This extended play was released on May 7th this year. This is actually the second EP that J57 has dropped this year. The first one came out on February 6th I think. It’s definitely one of the best EPs that I’ve heard this year, so I’m hoping that this one will be just as good,…

Don’t Sleep | SaVon – DON’T SUE ME
Don’t sleep on this EP from SaVon. He’s a 22 year old rapper from Charlotte, NC. I think the most obvious influence is Isaiah Rashad, but there’s also some Kendrick Lamar in there. He also named J. Cole as another influence. To me, the production and overall aesthetic reminds me a lot of Isaiah Rashad,…

EP Review | 183rd & Manolo Rose – Spring Time Colors Pastells
This extended play was released on May 3rd this year. I’ve never actually listened to a project from Manolo Rose. In fact, I’ve only really heard one song from him, and it’s because it was remixed by someone else. The song I’m talking about is Run Ricky Run. That shit is fire. I usually listen…

Album Review | 2Pac – 2Pacalypse Now
Note: This review was written in April of 2018. This album was released on November 12th in the year of our lord 1991 by Interscope Records. This was Pac’s debut solo album, and my introduction to his music. It’s conscious Hip Hop at it’s finest. The music isn’t as polished as some of Pac’s later…

Rating UGK’s Discography
I don’t know how to start this shit. I’m just gonna go ahead and let it be known that I’m a big UGK fan. I don’t think they ever released an album that wasn’t good. I definitely think Bun B was the better rapper in the group, but that doesn’t mean Pimp C held him…

Album Review | Bun B & Statik Selektah – TrillStatik
This album was released on April 20th this year. I actually think I’m gonna love this album. I love Statik Selektah, and I’m a big Bun B fan. Obviously his best work was with UGK, but I like almost all of his solo albums. I’ll go into that more tomorrow when I publish my rating…

EP Review | $wank – Random As F*ck
This extended play was released on April 19th this year. You may remember $wank from his features on that second Jamla Is the Squad album from last year. That’s how I was introduced to him. One of the songs that he was featured on was called Goodfellas. When I wrote about that track, I said…

Don’t Sleep | Matt Martians – The Last Party
Don’t sleep on this latest album from Matt Martians. It was released on April 26th this year. I was looking forward to this album because I really liked Matt Martians’ first solo album that he dropped back in 2017. I was hoping that this was gonna be even better than that one when I saw…

Why I Don’t Do Video Reviews
When I first started doing reviews, I chose to write them on my own personal website for a few reasons. I was really focused on having an original style; there were a shit ton of music critics on YouTube when I started doing this in late 2014, and there are even more now. Because of…

EP Review | Iamsu! – It’s Always Pure Love
This extended play was released on April 26th this year. I really don’t know how I’m gonna feel about this project. I’ve never really been a fan of Iamsu! in the past. I listened to his very first album, which wasn’t bad. I didn’t like the project as a whole, but there were a handful…

EP Review | Maez301 – Maez: Phase 1
This EP was released on April 26th this year. This is pretty much the general public’s introduction to Maez301 as an artist. He’s the newest Strange Music signee. Well, King Iso is actually the newest. Maez301 only came a couple weeks before Iso though. Anyway, as I said in my review of JL’s first Digital…
