4-DRAM That's A Girls NameEarl Sweatshirt I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outsideyes, it lacks replay value because of its overly dark mood and earl's lack of energy doesn't help either but some of these tracks are really introspective and it's easy to relate to what he's saying!

buy this! 4Janelle Monae The Electric LadyJapanese Breakfast PsychopompJay-Z The BlueprintJay-Z The Black AlbumJay-Z 4:44one of the worst soundoff pages in the history of sputnikmusic yet, considering how people keep giving this album a 1 only because it was released on tidal. what we have here is a really deep look into the life of a hip hop character who quickly started to lose momentum inside the game. however, jay-z seems to be pushing himself as hard as he can to out himself in the spotlight again and quality-wise, he definitely did it on here. brilliantly sampled beats, z's sharpest bars since the black album, great content, short in lenght and straight to the point. the only glaring flaw here is his lack of energy as far the delivery goes. he lacls the spark he once had and some songs simply don't reach their full potential because of that. aside from that, this is definitely his best album in a looong, long while. 4Jens Lekman Night Falls Over KortedalaJimmy Eat World Bleed AmericanJimmy Eat World FuturesJoell Ortiz and IllMind human.joell dropping fire bars on very onorthodox beats. not for everyone but i quite liked it!

4Joey Badass ALL-AMERIKKKAN BADA$$joey continues to embrace the old school boom bap style but now, he also brought a more contemporary, melodic sound to the table and surprisingly, things work really well. the content is there (more politically charged), catchy hooks, all the guests fit like a glove, the prod does its job for the most part. i can't say this is a step forward in relation to his previous effort since the first half is a bit too repetitive sonically speaking and the album definitely lacks tracks as amazing as, let's say, paper trails or christ conscious but still, great effort. 4-Jon Hopkins SingularityJPEGMAFIA VeteranJudas Priest FirepowerJustin Timberlake The 20/20 ExperienceKacey Musgraves Pageant MaterialKanye West Late RegistrationKanye West GraduationKanye West yeKaytranada Kaytra TODOKendrick Lamar Overly DedicatedKendrick Lamar untitled unmastered.definitely a very interesting ep to listen to, especially because it feels like an expansion of to pimp a butterfly, but i just can't ignore the fact that some of these tracks feel a bit unpolished and incomplete. kendrick is a perfectionist, so listening to this unmastered ep is a bit weird coming from him.. can't lie!

4-Lil Bibby Free Crack 3Lil Ugly Mane Mista Thug IsolationLil Ugly Mane Uneven CompromiseLil Ugly Mane THE WEEPING WORMLorde Melodramalorde finally proves people that she is much more than a one-trick-poney by releasing melodrama (not much in the way of melodrama, ironically), a fascinating yet raw look into her messy relationships and what she has learned, or not, from them. lorde is much more mature, not only lyrically but vocally as well and even in terms of taking more risks musically, which more than often pay off. she still has that youth very present here, though, which sometimes lights a little spark in the middle of all the darkness. writer in the dark liability and supercut are easy standouts. 4Lupe Fiasco Food & LiquorLupe Fiasco The CoolLupe Fiasco Tetsuo and Youthjust when i though lupe fiasco was going to disappoint me once again, he comes through with one of the most complex, yet fascinating albums of the year. can't wait to see what he will bring next!

Run DMCRun-D.M.C. Raising HellRyuichi Sakamoto Asyncsakamoto created a very minimalistic project that is actually focused on everyday life events that most people ignore, considering how vulgar, minimal and on-first-glance banal they seem to be. however, from his perspective, after seeing his life on the line, these little things are huge, important, meaningful, spiritual, powerful. if we choose to disappear from the stressful world we live in and instead immerse and tune in to async, we can see that perspective too, and it's an impressive one to look through. 4Saba Care For MeSampha Processcompetent vocals, decent writing and subtle yet beautiful production make this debut a pleasant surprise, even if it doesn't do anything particularly original. what it does, it does well, though. sampha keeps things short too, which invites the listener for another listen. 4-Scarface The FixScarface The DiarySeal Seal IISeal SealShakira Fijacion Oral Vol. 1Sims Bad Time ZooSleep The SciencesSlowdive SouvlakiSlowdive Just for a DaySlowdive PygmalionSnoop Dogg DoggystyleSolange A Seat at the Tablegrizzlybeard said it all. one of the most interesting r&b releases in a while, easily standing toe to toe with other great albums like blonde, malibu and the color in anything. 4Soundtrack (Film) The Raid 2Soundtrack (Film) The Perks of Being a WallflowerSpoon Hot Thoughtsso far the catchiest, most memorable release of the year inside its genre. 4Steve Aoki Pillowface and His Airplane ChronicleSting Ten Summoner's TalesSting The Soul CagesSturgill Simpson A Sailor's Guide To Eartheasily the best country album i heard since "casualties of cool", even though this one is way more straight forward and, sonically, more country-focused. the lyrics are absolute gold. 4-Sufjan Stevens Carrie and Lowellso personal, depressing and downright sad that it might be too unconfortable for some but those aspects are exactly what makes me love this album. you don't see projects like this very often so give it a try! 4-Sun Kil Moon Ghosts of the Great HighwaySun Kil Moon AprilSun Kil Moon BenjiSun Kil Moon Common As Light and Love Are Red Valleys of Bloodif you're down for some incredibly random stories being told over some of the best production to land on an album this year, go ahead and grab this. otherwise, you might want to stay away from it. it's a fuckin treat, though. 4+System of a Down MezmerizeSystem of a Down SugarSZA Ctrli wasn't looking forward to this album mainly because her last mixtapes didn't show anything exciting or refreshing thay made her stand out from the competition. her stories weren't interesting and were told in a vague way, the vocals weren't powerful enough to make the songs come to life. however, on her debut album, those issues are completely gone! the songwriting is raw and honest, the vontent is dark and sexual, the production always packs a ounch and do her vocals when needed. only a couple of tracks like "go gina" don't really offer much of anything to the concept of the album. everything else is gold. great debut from sza and a huge progression from her mixtapes to this! 4Tera Melos UntitledTera Melos Trash GeneratorThe Beatles Rubber SoulThe Beatles Magical Mystery TourThe Chemical Brothers Dig Your Own HoleThe Chemical Brothers Hanna OSTThe Devin Townsend Band SynchestraThe Devin Townsend Band Accelerated EvolutionThe Game Doctor's AdvocateThe Game The DocumentaryThe Game The Documentary 2.5easily the best work he dropped since the documentary, probably even surprassing it in terms of quality. the documentary 2 offered more of a compilation rather than a true album but this shit right here brings a much more compelling listen from beggining to end. gang bang anyway and the guetto are amazing standout tracks! 4The Menzingers Chamberlain WaitsThe Menzingers Hold on, DodgeThe Mountain Goats Get LonelyThe Mountain Goats TallahasseeThe Mountain Goats We Shall All Be HealedThe Mountain Goats All Hail West TexasThe Mountain Goats The Coroner's GambitThe Mountain Goats Full Force GalesburgThe Mountain Goats Zopilote MachineThe Mountain Goats Heretic PrideThe Mountain Goats Nothing for JuiceThe Mountain Goats All Eternals DeckThe Mountain Goats Transcendental YouthThe Notorious B.I.G.

4-Tyler, the Creator Flower Boythis is what the atrocious cherry bomb should've been if ot had been properly mixed and taken more seriously. you still have the odd shit that made tyler who he is nowadays but it never really takes the front seat and allows the more mature moments to stay in equality. the production is amazing this time around and it consistently gives every track what they need, wether it's a banger or a dreamy typa shit. by far his best project to date, and might be even better than his mixtape bastard. 4-U2 Achtung BabyU2 The Joshua TreeU2 WarUgly Heroes Ugly HeroesUlver KveldssangerUlver Nattens MadrigalUlver Blood InsideUlver Themes From William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and HellUlver Shadows of the SunUlver Messe I.X-VI.XWu-Tang Clan Wu-Tang ForeverYG Still Brazyi gotta say, i wasn't the biggest my krazy life fan. that album relied too much on dj mustard and it's features to really work and the concept lacked impact. for that reason, i wasn't really expecting much from still brazy but man, not only is this shit good when it comes to its concept, it also bangs! perfect release for the summertime, with all these amazing late-90's west coast, funky typa beats and catchy af hooks. a huge improvement for yg! 4+Your Old Droog Your Old Droog3.5 great$uicideboy$ Dark Side of the Clouds$uicideboy$ Grey Sheep II2 Chainz Pretty Girls Like Trap Musicof course, being a 2 chainz album, it's as messy and inconsistent as expected but one thing is for sure: it contains some of his best material to date and honestly, that's the case for almost every song on here. by far his best project. 3.521 Savage, Offset and Metro Boomin Without WarningA Tribe Called Quest Beats, Rhymes And LifeA Tribe Called Quest People's Instinctive Travels & The Paths of RhythmAb-Soul Do What Thou Wilt.j. cole will easily outshine soul when it comes to sales but the exact opposite can be said about the quality of these projects. while far from perfect, mainly because of some boring beats and not-too-interesting flows, soulo still comes through with some of the most well-written and thought provoking verses of the year and the overall dark mood fits like a glove. 3.5+ABBA The AlbumABBA Voulez-VousAerosmith Get Your WingsAesop Rock None Shall PassAesop Rock FloatAesop Rock Cat FoodAFI Sing the SorrowAFI Black Sails in the SunsetAFI DecemberundergroundAK Blessings In The Gray 2AK brought the sound that made the underachievers such a great hip hop duo and made it his own. lots of bangers, flashy and dynamic beats, great bars all around. if you're a fan of their music, check this solo tape out. 3.5+Alfa Mist AntiphonAlicia Keys Songs in A MinorAlicia Keys The Diary of Alicia KeysAlicia Keys As I AmAlien Ant Farm ANThologyAmy Winehouse Back to BlackAnderson .Paak Cover ArtAnderson .Paak VeniceAnna von Hausswolff Dead MagicAnonymuz Vice Citywhile the songs itself aren't all that original and neither is the concept, everything is done meticulously well and the overall experience is an interesting one to get through, even though it's not particularly memorable. 3.5-Apathy Handshakes With SnakesApollo Brown and Skyzoo The Easy Truthapollo brown comes in with improved drumming and great samples and skyzoo does the job as always. 3.5+Arcade Fire Neon BibleAriana Grande Dangerous Womanariana grande combined the best things out of her two first albums and created "dangerous woman" a much more marute, sexy yet fun project than those two. it's far from perfect, especially in the lyrical department but the project is still a lot of fun to go through. 3.5ASAP Ferg Trap LordASAP Ferg Ferg ForeverASAP Rocky Live.Love.A$AP.ASAP Rocky LONG.LIVE.A$APASAP Rocky At.Long.Last.A$APasap rocky got really ambitious with this album and the risks don't always pay off but when they do, this album brings dopiness to a whole new level. when they don't pay off though, things really don't work. 3.5-Bad Meets Evil Hell: The SequelBADBADNOTGOOD IIIBADBADNOTGOOD IVanother good project but like the third one, there's.no real progression. it's good good but not good great. 3.5-Barclay Crenshaw Barclay Crenshawvon-claude created a hipnotic, creative and ultimately beautiful fusion of sounds, ranging from lo-fi house to hip hop, and all works extremely well together, bringing the concept to life. 3.5Beyonce BeyonceBeyonce Lemonadethis is definitely her best album to date. an enhanced version of his last album. it's more mature, more adventurous, more dynamic. sonically, it's quite different from anything she has ever done, and while it may take time to embrace this new side of her, it's all for the best. 3.5+Big K.R.I.T. It's Better This Wayanother perfect example of why i prefer big krit's mixtapes over his commercial projects. his music comes off with much more energy and personality, especially on the track "86". 3.5Billy Talent Dead SilenceBlack Milk No Poison No ParadiseBlackbear Sex the Mixtapeblink-182 Dude RanchBlood Orange Freetown Soundhey still need to focus more as far as the production goes. you can't do an album this long with prod so mellow and wavy that puts you to sleep in no minute. a step up from their previous tape, but it could and should've been way better. 3.5-Blu YorkBlu and Analogtronics Cheetah in the Cityalong with this french duo, blu creates some of his. most enjoyable and entertaining music in quite a while. his projects had great lyricism but suffered heavily from bad prod and some really awful mixing. none of those problems are here, and while the lyrics aren't that memorable, they are still decent and the beats are A1. 3.5Bon Iver Bon Iver, Bon IverBones (USA-CA) Bones (Th@ Kid)Bones (USA-CA) 1MillionBluntsBones (USA-CA) LivingLegendBones (USA-CA) SaturnBones (USA-CA) DEADBOYBones (USA-CA) GarbageBones (USA-CA) PaidProgrammingBones (USA-CA) CREEPBones (USA-CA) SKINNYBones (USA-CA) RottenBones (USA-CA) YoungDumbFuckBones (USA-CA) YouShouldHaveSeenYourFaceBones (USA-CA) Bansheemoody, dark and spacey, banshee is one of bones' most cohesive albums thus far. a highlight on his controversial and rather huge discography. 3.5Bones (USA-CA) HermitOfEastGrandRiverfor people who dig bone's music, this is easily one of his best mixtapes so far. it's full of dark and wavy vibes, the hooks are very memorable and, like always, it doesn't overstay it's welcome. 3.5Bones (USA-CA) Uselessnot as good as his previous effort but it's still makes up for an enjoyable listen for people who follow bones. 3.5-Bosco (r&b) Boy Epnot much is known from this artist but this ep right here definitely makes me want to know more about her! 3.5-Brand New 3 Demos, ReworkedBroken Social Scene Forgiveness Rock RecordBusta Rhymes When Disaster Strikes...Busta Rhymes GenesisCadence Weapon Cadence WeaponChance the Rapper Acid RapCharli XCX Pop 2Chevelle La GárgolaClams Casino Instrumental MixtapeClams Casino RainforestClams Casino Instrumental Mixtape 2Clams Casino Instrumental Mixtape 3Clarence Clarity SAMEthis new ep has a really fresh concept that more than makes it worth checking out (especially considering the track itself is pretty good) but after one or two listens, there's. no reason for you to come back to it and listen to the same track over and over again. you can perfectly listen to the version you like the most, though. clarence continues to experiment, and i love that he's creating ep's like this just to further experiment before he drops another killer album like last year's stellar project. 3.5-clipping. Something They Don't Know/Mouthclipping. Wrigglewhile not nearly as inventive and odd as the amazing "clppng", the industrial, noisy, well-textured beats still match davies' impressive flow and delivery, creating an ep that's hella fucking catchy. 3.5Coldplay ParachutesCommon Finding ForeverCommon Black America Againri didn't really enjoy any album he dropped after the magnificent "be" and i was kinda worried about this release but looks like all he needed was something inspiring to make him want to push the envelope again. without preaching, common goes deep about the most noticeable social issues of nowadays through most of these tracks, bringing a more soulful sound to celebrate the black culture. its appeal is more limited this time around mainly because of that, though. 3.5-Conor Oberst Ruminationsif you like the lovely acoustic ballads that conor is known for, you'll certainly love this project. just close your eyes, lay down and spin it. 3.5+Craig David Born to Do ItCrying Beyond The Fleeting Galeswhile not reinventing pop punk in any way, this is still a good representation of what the genre can be when done in the right way. 3.5Currensy Pilot Talk IIInot much in the way of substance and that can ruin the experience for you but for everyone that can accept the tape for what it is - it's currensy, after all - you're in for dope after dope track. 3.5Cyhi The Prynce Black Hystori ProjectCZARFACE CZARFACECZARFACE A Fistful of Perilthis new album doesn't offer anything new in relation to their previous tapes but in this case, more of the same is actually a good thing. 3.5-Danny Brown The HybridDavid Bowie Space OddityDavid Bowie Diamond DogsDavid Bowie Pin UpsDavid Bowie Young AmericansDavid Bowie HeathenDavid Bowie OutsideDavid Fonseca Dreams in colourDavid Fonseca Between WavesDe La Soul The Grind DateDeadmau5 Random Album TitleDeadmau5 For Lack of a Better NameDeafheaven Ordinary Corrupt Human LoveDealema DealemaDealema V ImperioDeath Grips ExmilitaryDeath Grips Steroids (Crouching Tiger Hidden Gabber Megamix)pick this up only if you're eager for more death grips material. it's just a warm up for what's to come next and newcomers probably won't like it nor will have the patience to stick around for too long. it's a bit inconsistent too but all in all, it's still a frenetic, noisy blast to listen to. 3.5Deftones DeftonesDeftones Goreby no means one of deftones' best albums but incredibly, it still shows progression. how is it possible for a band with almost 30 years to keep evolving? especially considering they never bring the same sound again, they are always renewing themselves but of course, without throwing out their uniqueness. gore is another brilliant creation from one of the most consistent bands ever, regardless of genre. amazing! 3.5+Denzel Curry 32 Zel / Planet ShroomsDepeche Mode Some Great RewardDirty Projectors Dirty Projectorsdeeply flawed, overly produced and all over the place and sometimes it can come out as corny but it still makes for a really absorving, sometimes memorable experience, with moments like little bubble - easily the standout track - managing to stay in your head. for all its problems, it also makes up for them for being sweet af. 3.5-DJ Quik Safe & SoundDJ Quik TraumaDMX Flesh Of My Flesh, Blood Of My BloodDo Or Die Headz or TailzDo Or Die Pimpin' Ain't DeadDRAM Big Baby D.R.A.M.d.r.a.m embraced his goofiness like he should've done but without putting it in the way of the music itself. he actually managed to show how versatile he can be with his voice, which is surprisingly decent, as he easily waves from bangers like the thugga assisted track to r&b jams like "sweet va breeze", without ever leaving the funny side of his music. i was expecting the album to be bad, but it ain't! it's actually a surprisingly confident, positive debut. tracks like cute and wifi weren't needed, though. 3.5+dvsn Sept. 5ththe content and lyrics always run around the same idea and it can defin get stale for some people but thanks to passionate, powerful vocals and beautiful melodies, things never get boring and this is one of the most interesting r&b debuts in a while. definitely the best one coming out from ovo imo but they still miss something unique to distance themselves from the other members of the group. the biggest issue ovo is facing right now, actually. 3.5-Earl Sweatshirt DorisElzhi Lead Poisonwhat this tape lacks in terms of sound, it more than makes up for it with amazing, deeply personal lyricism with a lot of relatable stuff in it. another solid work by one of the most underrated rappers around. 3.5Eminem The Eminem ShowErykah Badu Mama's GunErykah Badu New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the AnkhErykah Badu Worldwide UndergroundEsbe Bloomsdayfor those who want to go through a chilling, wavy instrumental project just to relax, look no further. the sampling here is brilliant. 3.5+Evanescence OriginEverything Everything Man AliveEverything Everything ArcFashawn x Alchemist FASH-ionably LateFeist Let It DieFeist The ReminderFeist MetalsFlatbush Zombies 3001: A Laced Odysseyhere, each of them bring their absolute best to the table and everything comes together in an almost perfect way, even though they're completely different from each other. erick once again proves that he's one of the most talented producers working right now. dope af project from start to finish!

he's throwing everything at us all at once and many of those things are very relatable. if you like that stuff, this one is a must listen. 3.5-Joey Purp iiiDropsas far as newcomers go, this gotta be the standout of the year so far. a knack for hooks, a great ear for beats, nice punchlines throughout the tape and, most importantly, lots of personality. i will be surprised if he doesn't blow up in the upcoming months. 3.5John Legend Get LiftedJohn Legend Once AgainJohn Legend Love in the FutureJustin Timberlake FutureSex/LoveSoundsKa Grief PedigreeKa The Night's GambitKa The Superfly SingleKa Honor Killed The Samuraika delivers another dope album with a great concept that is complemented by bars on top of bars and beats that bring the picture he's trying to paint to a whole new level, all in all creating a very immersive project. not without its flaws but definitely worth checking out. 3.5+Kali Uchis IsolationKamasi Washington Harmony of DifferenceKanye West 808s and HeartbreakKaytranada 99.9%hopefully, this is the project that will put him in the spotlight. the beats are so different from each other, with the celestin often going from funk to jazz, yet 99,9% never feels like a mess of an album. in the end, everything comes together perfectly, creating a very excentric, exciting, vibrant experience worth repeating again and again. excellent!

it doesn't have the atmosphere that his first three mixtapes had but as a pop album, it doesn't many things right! 3.5+The Weeknd Starboyif you already embraced the fact that he's been pursuing new sounds for a while now and each album brings a new chapter for him and his music, you are bound to be surprised here. at 18 tracks, things could've gone south rather quickly but in fact, the album starts off on a strong note and ends itself perfectly too. up until the interlude with lana, everything was snapping big time. ironically, stargirl feels completely out of place musically speaking and it's also absolutely undercooked in its creation, fading away when it was getting remotely nteresting. it's a filler. things do pick up again with the excellent sidewalks and the momentum kept going until attention came in. things really got to a low point here, with the track being both too slow and not enough exciting for it to work. with the other two tracks right next to it, things got even worse. nothing without you is easily the most generic track here and the track with future, while decent, ends wirh an awful, pointless verse from him that adds nothing but lenght to an already overlong album. thankfully, the album ends with two fantastic tracks, die for you and the feel-good feel it coming, which opens up things for abel as far as his future goes, both artistically and in real life. the album could and should've been shorter, with those fillers hurting the overall quality of the album, but it still worked for the most part, with the standouts being really huge standouts and saving it from being just a merely decent effort. 3.5+The Wonder Years No Closer to Heaveni don't think this is as good as many are saying it is but it's still a solid pop punk album, no doubt. great delivery from the vocalist but i'm not feeling the way some songs are structured!

3.5-Ty Dolla Sign Campaignty dolla focused on what it did best on free tc (the first half was amazing, only ruined by the second half desired by his label) and the results could hardly be any better for him. the beats have a lot of texture and layers to them, and ty sounds really good over them. there are really good bangers like the track with quavo, but more laid back moments like no justice, r&b, stealing and juice are when he shines, though. however, the concept wasn't executed in the best way and the lyrics can get repetitive but they don't ruin the experience at all. 3.5Tyler, the Creator BastardU.S. Girls In A Poem UnlimitedUlver Sic Transit Gloria MundiUsher ConfessionsValete Servico PublicoVince Staples Shyne Coldchain Vol. 1Vince Staples Stolen YouthVince Staples Shyne Coldchain Vol. 2Vince Staples Hell Can WaitVince Staples Summertime '06one of the best braggadocious hip hop albums to come out this year, even though i prefer the first disk way more than the second one. the second disk isn't clicking with me for some reason.. 3.5+Vince Staples Prima Donnagreat concept but unlike in summertime, things don't come together all that well by the end of the project. loving the unorthodox beats for the most part tho, defin complement vince's delivery as well as the topics being tackled here. not everything works but ep's are made for experimenting, though. it's nice to see vince going out of his confort zone to try new things before he creates his next, hopefully great album. 3.5-Waka Flocka Flame FlockaveliWaka Flocka Flame Flockaveli 1.5if you understand the nature of waka flocka's music and all this new generation of hip hop, you'll enjoy this mixtape. if not, there's nothing here for you. 3.5-Wale Mixtape About NothingWeezer Everything Will Be Alright in the EndWestside Boogie The ReachWestside Boogie Thirst 48, Pt.

CadillacticaBig Scoob H.O.G.one of strange music's most solid releases in a while. it still comes with a lot of corny songs, just as expected, but it also comes with better than usual prod, some catchy hooks and big scoob does the job most of the time. overal, it's okay! 3Birdy BirdyBirdy Fire WithinBJ the Chicago Kid In My Mindnice mixture of r&b and hip hop and bj definitely carries the album with ease from start to finish but the topics could've been more varied. good, but not essencial. it falls a bit too much into old r&b cliches. 3+Black Milk If There's A Hell BelowBlack Milk FeverBlackalicious The CraftBlackalicious Imani Vol. 1the first half of the album is pretty good but then, things start to fall apart out of nowhere. still, it makes for a nice listen but don't expect something like blazing arrow. 3+Blackbear Foreplay - EPBlackbear DeadrosesBlanck Mass Blanck MassBlanck Mass Dumb FleshBlended Babies The Anderson Paak (EP)while not perfect, this ep serves as another way of displaying anderson paak's many talents as an artist. 3Blood Orange Cupid DeluxeBloodhound Gang Hooray For BoobiesBlu Her Favorite Colo(u)rBlu No York!Blu Good To Be HomeBlue One LoveBlueprint (USA-OH, Hip-Hop) King No Crownit's not bad but it's not that good either. not something you want to put on heavy rotation, i guess.. 3-Bon Iver 22, A Millionsome might say bon iver did an incredible job of creating a completely new and refreshing sound, but in all truth, this is a new sound just for him. there's nothing groundbreaking here, and this style was done in a better way before. decent, but not as good as some are making it out to be. 3+Bon Jovi Slippery When WetBon Jovi New JerseyBones (USA-CA) TeenagerBones (USA-CA) Powdernot quite as good as his latest releases but still pretty solid, even if it feels a bit lazy in spots. 3+Bones (USA-CA) PaidProgramming2with this being the sequel to the great paidprogramming, i was expecting more but this is bones on auto-pilot. 3Bones (USA-CA) GoodForNothinganother somewhat disappointing entry in bones' discography. not only isn't he improving, some of these tracks are not up to par with what we came to expect from him. 3-Bones (USA-CA) SoftwareUpdate1.0slightly better and more fleshed out than his last two efforts. 3+Brand New Your Favorite WeaponBreaking Benjamin We Are Not AloneBreaking Benjamin PhobiaBrockhampton All-American TrashBryson Tiller T R A P S O U Lthis guy definitely has potential to become really big but this project is simply too formulaic for me to love it. there's no moment here that wowed me and he's borrowing too many elements from drake. however, it's also a tape hard to dislike. 3+Busta Rhymes The Big BangCalvin Harris Funk Wav Bounces, Vol. 1if all you want is to have fun with music during the summer, you can definitely peep this one out. not every combo here works, but more often than not, they do work and the songs that work are really good. q killed his joint. 3+Car Seat Headrest Teens of StyleCashmere Cat Mirror MaruCashmere Cat Wedding BellsCashmere Cat Wild LoveCashmere Cat 9cashmere shows, once again, a lot of potential. sadly, he also displays lack of confidence in his own skills, as he keeps himself in his confort zone, without ever taking risks. he needs to push the envelope. 3Chance the Rapper 10 DayCharli XCX Vroom Vroomcouldn't disagree more with the majority of the scores being given to this ep. people are probably shitting all over the tape because it's from charli xcx, who dropped a very overrated, underwhelming pop album two years ago but now that she joined forces with sophie, things got waaaay more interesting, with all these glitchy, dynamic beats fitting charli's energy perfectly. terribly underrated imo, even if i agree that it never reaches its full potential. 3+Charli XCX Number 1 Angelcharli xcx keeps bringing pc music and her hyped vocals to create some of the weirdest mainstream pop music you are likely to hear these days and for the most part, it bangs but bro, the lyrics are awful. it's a really huge minus for me. 3Chevelle Sci-Fi CrimesChevelle Hats Off To The BullChildish Gambino Because the InternetChildish Gambino KauaiChris Brown ExclusiveChristina Aguilera Back to BasicsClams Casino 32 Levelsthe tracks that are good are really good, the tracks that aren't really aren't. consistency is something casino needs to work on. 3clipping. Midcityclipping. Splendor and Miseryi've been a clipping fan for a while, with clppng being one of my favorite albums this decade, but i just can't get into this album. the concept is great, but it's an issue. it compromises both the rapper's work and the experience musically speaking. it might make up for a nice first listen, but there's nothing here that justifies a second, or multiple listens. there are some good moments, of course, but everything in between those moments become a slog to listen to after a while. 3+Clockwork Indigo Clockwork Indigo EPColdplay X&YColdplay Viva la Vida or Death and All His FriendsCommon Electric CircusCraig David Slicker Than Your AverageCurrensy Canal Street Confidentialcoming from pilot talk 3, i was expecting a bit more from this release right here but what we got is still dope af. 3+Currensy The Carrollton Heistsomehow, these two came together and made things work. it kinda left me wanting more, though. even if i don't see myself returning to this all that often. it's makes for a good listen but it there is room for improvement if they decide to do something else together again. 3+Cyhi The Prynce BHP 2: N.A.A.C.PCZARFACE Czardi GrasCZARFACE and MF DOOM Czarface Meets Metal FaceDanny Seth Perceptionlots of potential here but he needs work lyrically. his voice can be annoying at times too and the concept feels forced.. 3-Dave East Hate Me NowDave East Kairi Chanelmuch like his last project, i like what he's saying on most of this tracks and he's defin a hell of a spitter but i just don't think the beat selection matches his style well, at all. he needs to work in that department. 3-David Bowie EarthlingDavid Bowie Let's DanceDavid Bowie RealityDavid Bowie HoursDavid Bowie The Buddha of SuburbiaDe La Soul Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic ThumpDe La Soul AOI: BionixDe La Soul Are You In?: Nike+ Original RunDe La Soul and the Anonymous Nobody...not a bad album at all, it has some really cool moments but.. 17 tracks?

However, things don't always work and the end result is far from memorable or consistently entertaining, at least as far as i'm concerned. still, this is a free mixtape, so it's worth giving it a spin! 3Evanescence FallenEvanescence The Open DoorEvanescence EvanescenceFall Out Boy From Under the Cork TreeFall Out Boy Infinity on HighFashawn The Ecologygreat first half but the second half is quite boring and totally unecessary imo. he needs to stick to what he does best. 6.7/10FKA Twigs EPFlume Skinthe sound he creates is still compelling to listen to but it feels by the numbers instead of feeling like the dynamic, fluid experience that his debut was. 3-Flume Skin Companionthe sound of it is undeniably beautiful but it has been done before and in a better way. there's nothing fresh here. 3Flume Skin Companion lla large improvement over the last ep. this one is all over the place, with all the 4 leftover tracks being completely different from each other, but each one of them shows flume's versatility and they certainly have quality. the inclusion of vocals in some of these tracks was pointless tho, especially on the weekend. the vocal changes on depth charge, not so sure about that either. enough and fantastic are indeed fantastic. 3+Foo Fighters In Your HonorFoo Fighters Echoes, Silence, Patience & GraceFrench Montana MC4not nearly as bad as i thought it was going to be, considering how terrible montana is as a rapper. however, i enjoyed some of these tracks not because of him, but both due to the fact that most of these beats were really good and, most importantly, the guests did a really good job, especially on that track with jada. 3fun. Some NightsFuture MonsterFuture Beast ModeFuture 56 Nightsif you enjoyed his last two mixtapes, there's no reason for you not to enjoy this. i found it to be a bit too repetitive for my taste. 3Future DS2i like some of these tracks and i wouldn't mind listening to all of them individually but as an album, it leaves much to be desired. still bumps. 3+Future FUTUREfor once, i can understand what future is saying. that's the best thing he brought to this tape, an improved delivery. some of the beats are crazy too and the project definitely contains some of future's best tracks to date, like poa and mask off. however, at over 1h with content this repetitive, there's no way you gon listen to this without a lot of pauses throughout. it drags and the quality is more questionable towards the back end of the album. a huge improvement over his last shitty mixtapes, but he needs to keep things short next time. 3-Future HNDRXXmuch like his previous effort, i was enjoying it until i wasn't. at 17 tracks, things start to get stale after a while. however, this r&b side is actually much more interesting than what future showed us last week but quantity doesn't mean quality and once again, the whole package is a bit damaged due to too many tracks. 34 in one week is way too much! i can't ignore that hndrxx is an improvement in relation to all of future's pos-ds2 releases tho, by bringing honest, more introspective songs and a flow that i can actually understand. solid! 3G-Unit The Beast Is G-Unitsome tracks almost made me believe that this ep was going to be great. others woke me up to reality. 3G-Unit The Lost Flash Driveif you like this group's work, definitely give this one a listen. it has some bangers. 3-Gallant Ologygallant shows a lot of talent when it comes to lyrics and his vocals definitely bring those lyrics to life, painting a vivid picture of what's talking about. there are room for improvement and i felt like the project overstayed its welcome a little bit but this was a surprise, to be honest. gallant is in a league of his own, and it will be up to people to decide if he deserves to be in the spotlight. he's good! 3+Ghostface Killah More FishGhostface Killah 36 SeasonsGhostface Killah Twelve Reasons to Die IIi love the story and everything but the tracks are so short that i don't see any replay value here to be completely honest! it works until it doesn't.. 3+Ghostface Killah and BADBADNOTGOOD Sour Soulgood album but i expected much, much more than this from talents like killah and bbng! like many are saying, goodgoodnotgreat.. 3+Gorillaz GorillazGotye Making MirrorsGrandaddy SumdayGreen Day WarningGreen Day KerplunkGucci Mane Everybody LookingGucci Mane WOPTOBEReven tho this is a step back in relation to his last album, this shit still slaps. if you're looking for something to blast on the road, you won't have problems with this. 3Gucci Mane and Future Free BricksHarry Styles Harry Stylesharry styles failed to bring memorable lyrics to the table and he didn't fully create his own identity with this album, wearing his inspirations on his sleeves perhaps a bit too much at times, but... having said that, pretty much every song on here is rock solid, filled with impactful vocals from start to finish, more-than-competent production, catchy melodies and even though the album is jammed with different genres, it doesn't feel like a mess, flows well and, more importantly, it shows styles' versatility. now, there's a loooot of improvement to do but for a debut album, well done!

i still like what he did on this ep but it certainly isn't for everyone! you gotta understand what he's doing in here, otherwise you're gonna hate this project. 3+ILOVEMAKONNEN Drink More Water 6not much in the way of improvement but it has his moments. if you like his music, peep it. 3-Incubus (USA-CA) A Crow Left of the Murder...Injury Reserve Cooler ColorsIsaiah Rashad The Sun's Tiradei was anticipating this album a lot since cilvia demo was easily one of my projects of 2014. laid back production, amazing bars and isaiah going in out of nowhere on tracks like modest and soliloquy made it a standout of that year. so, my expectations were sky high for this one! did it deliver? eeeh, not all the way through imo. my biggest problem with this new album is that not only didn't he show any improvements in relation to his last project; he actually downgraded in many aspects. first, there a lack of wow moments unlike on the first tape. everything sounds too familiar across the whole thing, to the point that mid-way through i was actually bored of it. the sun's tirade is too mellow for its own good, and unfortunetly, the beats aren't the only thing creating that problem. worse than that is the fact that rashad feels like he's not even trying in most of these tracks, especially in "a lot". it sounds as if he was struggling to say his last words before dying. to make things even worse, the writing is not that good either. most of the time, he doesn't get too deep into the stuff he's tackling. he doesn't allow us to go inside his world in order to know him better. having said that, the album have some really good moments, especially during its first half. the singles were hot, just to begin with, and then we have shit like "wat's wrong" (kendrick delivering an amazing verse) and tity & dolla (once again, the guests doing their job). but these moments are not that great. there are no standout tracks! huge disappointment. 3+J.

Cole 4 Your Eyez Onlynot only a huge disappointment but also one of the most disappointing albums released by a big artist this year, regardless of genre. wether he's stealing a beat from an artist and doing it no justice at all or doing his awful singing game that had already hurted his last project, he's once again showing that he's nothing more than a painfully average rapper with high aspirations. good ideas alone don't take you too far. well, he still went platinum with no features so, good for him... 2+J.
