Indicud by Kid Cudi
Personally, I think 2011-2016 was the best era in music. So, I have a personal goal to review everything from that time period that had an impact on me. This time around its Kid Cudi's 2013 album, Indicud. Now, I was a Cudi stan around this time, listening to whatever he dropped or was featured … Continue reading Indicud by Kid Cudi
Dawn FM by The Weeknd
We live in an age of recycling. Everything has been done before so people and artists are now reaching back into the past to pull out familiar feelings and adding their own twists to it. Everyone is guilty of it, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. It shows how far we have and haven't … Continue reading Dawn FM by The Weeknd
Neighbors So Bad…They’re Great
In my quest to prove that 2011-2016 was one of the best eras in music, I've found myself listening to Blu, MED & Madlib's 2015 collaborative album "Bad Neighbor" a lot. Back when it first came out I knew it existed because Hodgy (of Odd Future) is featured on Serving. Then, as I continued to … Continue reading Neighbors So Bad…They’re Great
Its Turnstile’s World, We’re All Just Living In It
I am a very easy person to please when it comes to rock music. As long as you have an interesting enough sound or someone black in the band, I'll give it a listen. Turnstile has both of those things and I am now a fan. Plus, I love anything Dev Hynes touches so him … Continue reading Its Turnstile’s World, We’re All Just Living In It
From The Recommendations: Deem Spencer
It is rare for me to ask for recommendations. I tend to not like things I'm not used to, but recently I found myself on listening to the same things over and over. Had to break out of that habit so I asked my friends what they are listening to. Deem Spencer was recommended by … Continue reading From The Recommendations: Deem Spencer
CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST: A Story of Love, Luxury and Luggage
Okay before I start detailing why I love this album so much let me issue a warning. It's going to seem like I'm fanning out at many different points of this review and that's because I am. I don't know what you expected, Tyler is my favorite artist of all-time. Every two years my ears … Continue reading CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST: A Story of Love, Luxury and Luggage
The House Is Mid…I Mean Burning
Let me start this off by saying, I am a fan of Zay. Such a fan that I was very excited for this album. Zay made us wait five whole years for a new album. The Sun's Tirade was such a good album and it sounded like a launching point, Zay came out strong like … Continue reading The House Is Mid…I Mean Burning
True EP by Solange
In my quest to review everything touched by Dev Hynes aka Blood Orange aka Lightspeed Champion, I've landed at Solange's 2012 EP True. This tape came at the perfect time, Solo had just left Interscope to do her own independent thing, Dev had just released Coastal Grooves, and there was a noticeable shift in music … Continue reading True EP by Solange
Why Young Fathers Deserve Your Ears
For me, finding new music is one of the hardest things to do. Once you go through enough artists sounding like someone else that's already popular you get unmotivated. This happens all the time when I try to find new rap. I've found that if it's not Smino or Guapdad4000, a very obvious Carti or … Continue reading Why Young Fathers Deserve Your Ears
