DEMI LOVATO – DANCING WITH THE DEVIL, THE ART OF STARTING OVER

I love when an artist can go through some dark times, bounce back, but be transparent about what they REALLY went through. Especially with the whole world watching, but the world was watching Demi during those low moments as well. Demi is literally open on this album, I can tell that she truly wants to get back to mental space of positivity within herself. Like a friend told me, “The issue isn’t about if you can take a hit and fall hard, it’s if you can get back up from the hit and hard fall, and learn from it.” I believe that’s what Demi Lovato is doing, she’s learning from her past, and I will say that we will start to see a greater Demi as time goes. Great project!!

LIL TJAY – DESTINED 2 WIN

I feel Lil Tjay…I am destined to win!!! Sometimes you got to sit back and manifest your dreams!! This project gives off that energy that he is trying to win, the single “Calling My Phone” featuring 6lack is one of my favs right now!!

BANKROLL FREDDIE – BIG BANK

It’s about time Bankroll Freddie dropped something since last year!! I felt bad for him for his first single “Drip Like Dis” dropped right before the world got shut down due to Covid-19. Freddie did drop his first project, and I think that didn’t do well due to lack of touring etc! With this new project out I am hoping we will see more of the Arkansas native!!

SAIGON – PAIN, PEACE, & PROSPERITY

This project is definitely a much worth must listen!!!!!

BENNY BLANCO – FRIENDS KEEP SECRETS 2

I am glad to see that Benny overcame whatever that was dark in his and what was also preventing him from making great music. Always check on your strong friends! Great album

N E W M U S I C F R I D A Y S

POOH SHIESTY – SHIESTY SEASON

Pooh Shiesty got the radio blazing with his singles so of course I couldn’t wait to hear what a full length project will sound from him. Pooh comes with hard lyrics and surprising features, but my energy tends to move up and down like a rollercoaster while listening to it!!! Thankfully this is just a mixtape, and not his actual album!

EC MARV – BEAT DA ODDS

I have been hip to EC Marv for a couple years now. I have seen his clout chasing moments to him looking like the best boyfriend, babydaddy, father EVEERRRR! LOL I decided to check out his new project for by now I felt like he should be REALLY talking about something in his lyrics. Not saying that he didn’t do that before, but when you live “life” the raw emotions from it tend to provide great music , and EC Marv did that on this project! This is definitely a must listen.

THE WEEKND – THE HIGHLIGHTS

If you do not like The Weeknd then something is clearly wrong with you! Me, personally, I’ve been a fan since 2011, and even when I may fall off from listening to him, I can still check in and he’s still on fire! This project will definitely remind you of his greatest works, and don’t forget the work he’s done with Drake too!! Make sure to watch the 2021 Super Bowl this Sunday, the 7th to see The Weeknd shut this halftime special DOWN!!!

PROPAIN – IT AINT SAFE OUTSIDE

Propain made sure to give us what’s exactly has been not only on his mind the minds of people everywhere with a little Texas kick to it tho! Dope features from all of Houston’s greatest helps to convey Propain’s message on this overall dope project!

DEVIN THE DUDE – SOULFUL DISTANCE

To hear Devin The Dude on anything is a blessing! In 2021 he decides to bless us with a nice album to vibe to, smoke to, and just chill something that I think is needed during these times.

SY ARI DA KID – IT’S NOT YOU IT’S ME

Sy Ari Da Kid just knows how to make those songs you can relate to! He’s such an underrated artist. This project is definitely a must listen.

N E W M U S I C F R I D A Y S

FREDO – MONEY CAN’T BUY HAPPINESS

Fredo comes into 2021 with an album that can be played from the beginning to the end. This project is definitelt a must listen.

LIL DURK – THE VOICE DELUXE

I knew Lil Durk was going to speak his feelings on song in regards to King Von. May Von rest in peace!!! The project overall is a must listen, and with these added tracks makes the album even better.

LIL PEEP – CALIFORNIA GIRLS

I guess it’s cool to see new music from Lil Peep, even though he’s deceased, but it gives not only his fans memories of how talented this artist was. Just gone too soon! RIP Lil Peep.

PARTYNEXTDOOR – COLOURS

PartyNextDoor already released the project Colours a few years back, but it was not available to be streamed yet. So finally us fans can stream one of PartyNextDoors best pieces of work, in my opinion!

RICH THE KID – LUCKY 7 EP

This 7 track ep will have you mad by the time track 7 is finished for you will want to hear MORE!!!

ALYCIA BELLA – MUSE

This project by the beautiful Alycia is truly a vibe!

NECHIE – SHADY BABY

Not only will be hearing some dope slime shit, but we will also hear production by Gunna for the first time. In my opinion, he just might have a future with it. Shady Baby is definitely a must listen.

NEW MUSIC FRIDAYS

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)

Now yall know that I already loved the album, and her adding extra songs to it only made it better!!! Mulatto added 5 additional songs to her full length album including a dope feature from Lil Baby. Rating 9 out of 10

BIA – FOR CERTAIN

Mannnnn, I see why it took forever for BIA to finally come out…..she is the SHIT!!! 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. I can’t even speak anymore on this smh Just know that this project is a must listen and vibe! Rating 10 out of 10
