KID CUDI – MAN ON THE MOON 3: THE CHOSEN

Cleveland’s own Kid Cudi is back with the 3rd installment to Man on the Moon, and I am loving it!!! The cadence of this whole project is super dope with an outer space type of feeling. So no problems with playing this album from the beginning to the end. I hope Cudi knows that I am patiently waiting on a collab with Travis Scott…ijs!! It’s not alot of features, but the ones who are, like Skepta, Pop Smoke, Phoebe Bridgers, and Trippie Redd keeps this project LIT!! Rating 10 out of 10

FETTY WAP – YOU KNOW THE VIBES

I get excited anytime I hear of Fetty Wap releasing any project! For some reason, I think fans are still stuck on the Fetty from 2014, when he ahs evolved into a different man. Now I am shocked that he released a project a few months after his brother was murdered, but hey making music or just staying busy doing what you love is a form of therapy. I definitely love this project, and as always it has a super dope vibe. Fetty enlisted features with Monty and Styles P!! Rating 8 out of 10

JACK HARLOW – THAT’S WHAT THEY ALL SAY

I couldn’t wait for Jack Harlow to finally drop his first album!!!! While listening to it all I can think of is WOW….Jack is something to take serious. He already got me ready to place him above the other guy to whom others may call a “Culture Vulture”. With Jack I do not get that type of vibe from him… from the first time I ever heard of him, he’s stayed the same and very consistent. This project flows so smoothly that the cadence of this album shows that the production did a great job! With features from Lil Baby, Big Sean, Chris Brown, Adam Levine, Bryson Tiller, the deceased Static Major, and Est Gee lets you know that this album is a definite must listen!!! Shout out to Louisville, KY y’all do breed talent!!! Rating 9 out of 10

MULATTO – BIG LATTO (EXTENDED VERSION)

For Certain is a whole vibe of dope lyrics and beats that will definitely keep your attention from the beginning to the end! My ladies stay winning and BIA is another lady to add to the list. BIA enlisted features from Lil Jon, Lil Durk, Doe Boy and 42 Dugg. Rating 9 out of 10

LIL LOADED – CRIP TAPE

People are looking at Lil Loaded with a side eye these days! Mind you he just got out of jail under the assumption for murder, and advised that he will be releasing new music once he gets out, now here you go! I see why Lil Loaded has a nice fan base, for his music is LIT! Features including Pooh Sheisty, Hotboii, and Big KayBeezy. Rating 7 out of 10

TAYLOR SWIFT – EVERMORE

I wont say too much in regards to this album, especially since this is the 2nd project she has dropped within the year! I get it though, this Coronavirus pandemic has alot of artists feeling uninspired, and I am glad to see that she is one artist who muscles through her problems to always come out on top! Taylor made this beautiful project with only three features from Haim, The National, and Bon Iver. Rating 9 out of 10

KAMAIYAH – NO EXPLANATIONS

This album is hitting! I can tell that Kamaiyah must like that Louisiana beat type for I kept having to remind myself that she’s from Oakland. For this to be Kamaiyah’s first album, she’s coming out hard. She enlisted features from Jackboy and Mozzy, but the rest is all her, and it’s definitely listen worthy!! Rating 9 out of 10

BOLDY JAMES – REAL BAD BOLDY

Boldy James is out here coming to hard and representing those Griselda Boys proudly for he literally has dropped 4 projects this year alone and ALL four are hard!!! Of course it’s hardly any features, but Meyhem Lauren, Stove God Cooks, Eto, Mooch, and Rigz all contribute to the dopeness of this album! Rating 9 out of 10

FXXXXY – DO YOU TRUST ME

Let me first say RIP to Fxxxxy!! It hurts my soul to know that Fxxxxy isn’t here to enjoy this dope ass album!!!! The cadence throughout this whole project is on a whole different level.

AMINE – LIMBO (DELUXE)

https://twitter.com/heyamine/status/1333868748797743104?s=20
I am loving this deluxe by Amine. The original was dope too, but kind of a snooze in my opinion! The songs added to this deluxe reminds me as to why I like Amine music from the start! Rating: 7 out of 10

SHAWN MENDES – WONDER

What I truly like about this album is that its such a feel good vibe from the beginning to the end. This album can be played around the seniors and the babies for the way Shawn sing his lyrics keeps things safe..nothing is overly done. Overall a great album with only 1 feature artist, Justin Bieber, and every song sounds like the piece to a perfect playlist. Rating: 9 out of 10

YFN LUCCI – WISH ME WELL 3

I am very excited to hear on YFN Lucci’s 3rd installment of the “Wish Me Well” series, that auto tune was not overly used!!!

RICO NASTY – NIGHTMARE VACATION

I am so happy for Rico Nasty!!!!! I have been a few for a couple years now, and what I love about her is she is making her own lane. Like how nobody can be like Future, no one can be like Rico period!! For this to be her first album, she went in. Dope features with artists like Gucci Mane, Don Tolliver, Amine, Trippie Redd, PPCocaine, my girl Sukihana, and the lovely Rubi Rose!!! Definitely a must listen! Rating 10 out of 10

YUNG BABY TATE – AFTER THE RAIN

Here’s another lady to whom I have been loving her vibe as an artist, writer, and just overall style! This project I swear has me wanting more! From having dope feature with another bomb artist Flo Milli and 6lack only adds to more flava, but Yung Baby Tate can handle her own tho! Rating 9 out of 10

SOULJA BOY – SWAG 3

https://twitter.com/souljaboy/status/1334168602220478470?s=20
Soulja Boy always stay consistent with his music even if it still sounds the same, but the beats are hard for he is a producer! I can admit that he has a couple of tracks I can find myself bumping to. This project has no features just Young Draco on every track giving you swagged out flo! Rating 6 out of 10

DRAKEO THE RULER – WE KOW THE TRUTH

I like his voice for some reason, but he be telling some interesting street tales! Features including Icewear Vezzo, Lil Mosey, Tee Grizzly, Rich The Kid, and others let you know they most likely agree with me as well! Drakeo is fresh from out of jail so you know the project is filled with that Detroit flava, and deserves a listen!! Rating 8 out of 10

YNS Talley – Persevere (Video)

Leave a reply

ATL’s own YNS Talley releases visuals for his new single “Persevere.” The track produced by Aloy is taken from Talley’s upcoming project titled ‘Priceless 3.’

In “Persevere” Talley returns home to East ATL where it all began. Although riding there in a polished Rolls Royce, Talley reassures that fame hasn’t changed him. His intricate wordplay gives listeners a vivid timeline into his path to success while conveying a distinct message to those that slept on him and his booth profession. The cinematic production by Alloy heightens the emotion from Talley. Watch the video and connect with YNS Talley below.

TAOT Recordings and R&B vocalist Faith Walker announce the release of her highly anticipated self-titled album. The 11-track project features her critically acclaimed single “Head in the Clouds” with Ray Robinson along with a selection of seasoned producers including Joebi-Wan, J. Forgione, Black Orchid, R.

It’s Faith’s purpose to share this album throughout communities and embark on a mission to educate the youth on the importance of hope, standing up for what you believe in, as well as creative expression.  “While I aspire to inspire, this album is my proudest accomplishment.”

Trap Pe$o is an artist who creates distinctive sounds by combining different influences into a one-of-a-kind sound, and his new single/video release is no exception.

“Trap” is impressive both in terms of production aesthetics and artistry. The songwriting is catchy and immediate, yet nuanced and detailed. This translates well for viewers on account of the amazing production quality. Fans of artists like XXXTENTACION, Lil Wayne, and Gucci Mane will enjoy this track.

https://twitter.com/MrMalcolmMartin/status/1327861127729078273?s=20
Nefertitti Avani is a jewel that I think is underrated in this industry! Young, beautiful, smart, and woke is what I view her as, and her music reflects that! On this new project, you can tell that Nefertitti has evolved has an entertainer. I love the samples you hear that are very reminiscent of the 90’s or early 00’s. One of my favorite tracks is “Keep The Lights On”. Rated 9 out of 10
