Gunna: Drip or Drown 2 review

YSL signee Gunna’s debut studio album ‘Drip or Drown 2’ represents both the aritists strengths and weaknesses. Following the collaborative album ‘Drip Harder’ with fellow Atlanta rapper Lil Baby, Gunna delivers an enjoyable, yet flawed project. Throughout ‘Drip or Drown 2’ Gunna is often predictable, yet seemingly perfects his own style. Indeed, the album possesses a drowsy, watery, sound, that works effectively with Gunna’s melodies. … Continue reading Gunna: Drip or Drown 2 review

Lil Keed: Long Live Mexico review

With ‘Long Live Mexico’, Atlanta rapper and YSL signee Lil Keed presents an enjoyable, yet unoriginal and overlong project. Heavily influenced by Young Thug, the project is named in memorium after his friend ‘Mexico’, who passed away at the beginning of the year.

Mac DeMarco: Salad Days review

The second full-length album from Indie Prince, Mac DeMarco demonstrated every aspect of his previously witnessed brilliance, while expanding his discography with diversity and personality.  Following his shaky debut on Rock And Roll Night Club (2012) a predecessor to a much more direct and polished 2 (2013), DeMarco had set his expectations high for Salad Days.

Tyga: Legendary review

2018 was a great year for Tyga, an artist who had seemingly descended into irrelevancy.

With his new album Legendary, Tyga presents an album with bass-heavy club bangers, featuring numerous significant … Continue reading Tyga: Legendary review

Despite it serving a as bold attempt … Continue reading Logic: Confessions of a Dangerous Mind review
