You should already know I’m a fan of Lupe. The last time I’ve heard anything from him was “Drogas Wave” in 2018. Very deep. and worth the listen just for the historic and spiritual side. But this EP attracted me because of the production by Kaelin Ellis which always grabs my attention. And of course the lyrical genius of Lupe. Outside of that take a listen to the commentary by Virgil Abloh as well. Pretty damn good.
Tek Lun - Anthology 2014 - 2019
I didn’t do a review of Tek’s highly enjoyable “allow it” released in 2018. I wasn't feeling the earlier EP release Blood, but now with the release of Dweeb. The B’more native has been moving forward with his sound so I wanted to hear what this one would sound like. He goes a different route and flavors his multi layer tracks with more vocals, trap beats and for sure his signature synthesized sound. At the same time I ran into his group NASA 8 so I had to show some love this year.
YBN CORDAE - The Lost Boy
Sean and I finally get to YBN Cordae and we discuss where he ranks with the freshman of the year and the type of release he has out right now. With the amount of features he has on this new release. do we really get to hear his talent?
K.R.I.T. IZ HERE
2 years ago, Sean introduced me formally to Big K.R.I.T with his release "4eva is a mighty long time." Now he drops something in this weak season of releases for us to digest and see how this release refers back to his 2010 mixtape "K.R.I.T Wuz Here". My thoughts is, I'm judging it on what he is releasing now. I didn't go back but Sean has his opinion. Especially since he's a fan.
ScHoolboy Q - CrasH Talk
We have been feeling ScHoolboy for a minute. Me not so major but his appearance has always been worth while. So with his 2019 release was another one of the artist we looked forward to hearing. With a 5 songs with features on a 14 track release. We wanted to lay back and check this one out.
Anderson Paak - Ventura
We get a second chance to listen to a new feature release for Anderson Paak. It was surprising that he would come out with another release so quickly but the sound and feel of this release is something Sean and I wanted to discuss.
Solange: When I Get Home
Our next R&B release is a spiritual amazing sequel to a seat at the table that transcend lyrics and takes you into another level of music. Sean and I kept silent about our review until we sat down to review it together. This is our thoughts.
When I Get Home is the fourth studio album by American singer and songwriter Solange, released on March 1, 2019. It is the follow-up to her 2016 album A Seat at the Table and explores Solange Knowles' hometown of Houston, Texas
DaBaby - Baby on Baby
DaBaby aka Baby Jesus from North Carolina fell in my lap within the new releases that was coming out lately. Sean agreed to take a listen so we took the time give someone from up I85 from Atlanta. This rapid fire artist gets some love.
Juicewrld - Death race for love
Sooooo, Sean and I enjoyed the Future and Juicewrld collaboration last year and really didn’t know what Juicewrld would actually do for his next solo since the collab was such a success. Well this Death race thing came out and Sean laughed at me for about 10 min. We have our opinion and this is what we got.
Offset Father of 4
So finally!! The offset solo release has arrived. To much fanfare and anticipation. Somebody is really excited and somebody is like…. Any who 1/3 features, very different feel and approach by the 3rd release by the 3rd member of the Migos trio.
