ASAP Ferg Always Strive and Prosper | 2.0 |
asap ferg tried to step out of his confort zone, the trap game, to show is full power in terms of versatility. while he managed to pull it off with some impressive flows and energy to spare, the tracks rarely make sense when we try to join them together to create the bigger picture. the message got lost along the way and, worst of all, some of these tracks aren't even good as standalone tracks (world is mine; strive). there are hints of something truly great here (psycho is defin one of his best tracks so far) and the harder tracks still hit (new level, let it bang) but something went really wrong. the middle portion is good but the album truly starts and ends in a rather false note. this is not a bad album, but it's definitely one of the most disappointing ones so far this year. 2- |

shit that made him one of the whackest acts in current hip hop. sadly, that's exactly what you're
going to get here. either that or tracks like owe which resemble drake waaay too much. even eminem
was badly implemented here, with him being way over the beat to the point it sounds like a
freestyle (dope rapey verse tho lol). the only legit good track here outside of the singles imo
was the one with migos, sacrifice. that shit was fire, man. why can't he stay in that fuckin lane
instead of being in the cornfield all the time? 2.0 |

Brockhampton SATURATION | 4.5 |
much like injury reserve's floss last year, here comes a mixtape so good, so left field, so refreshing it might just turn you into a stan of the group that created it immediately! this is the perfect mix between hip hop, pop and heavily auto-tuned tracks, with all the songs delivering in quality, both lyrically and instrumentally. in an overall disappointing year for hip hop (some amazing ones but only a few albums were truly great), this project feels even more essential. you might be turned off by the amateurish, youthful sound going on from start to finish but keep in mind these guys met each other on a forum and the rest is history. for now, go listen to it. 4.5 |
Brockhampton SATURATION II | 4.5 |
brockhampton's saturation ii is an improvement on every level over the first entry from this trilogy (especially in terms of lyrics), giving every member of the group a moment to shine. two amazing albums in a really short amount of time, from a group that contains 12 members or so. that's insane, and everyone should start taking them seriously because they might be starting not only something exciting, but most importantly, something truly important for the hip hop genre. 4.5 |
Brockhampton SATURATION III | 4.5 |
"amazing albums" pole younger doesn't have that lmao but aside from that, this shit is defin their best album to date and a fitting conclusion to this surprising series. the members are playing with each other in way more interesting ways, the sounds keep things cohesive without compromising experimentation, the mixing is better, the flows are improved, the auto tune is only used when needed... everything is improved. amazing year for these guys and i can't wait for the next one! |

i'm so wowed by this release. i never really enjoyed bruno's early work, mainly because his lyrics were absolutely sappy and cringy af and the production itself was just your typical mainstream ballad bs. here, bruno continues to embrace that funky sound we first heard with the incredible uptown funk and honestly, this sound works 100% in his favor. the lyrics are more well thought out as well and the vocals are simply amazing when they need to be. one of the best pop albums of 2016. 4- |
Bryson Tiller True To Self | 2.0 |

couldn'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 Angel | 3.0 |

this 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- |

i'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+ |

an absolute return to form (didn't like epicloud all that much and there were some rflaws on their last double-album) from a band that keeps finding new ways of reinventing their sound, even after so many projects. trasncendence brings some aspects of devin's rolder material to the table, while introducing new elements that make all the rdiference. the solos on this are grander, bigger, more epic than ever, invoking more rmeaning to the lyrics that come before and after them. kudos to the drummer, excellent rwork all and throughout this shit. really, amazing album! 4 |

all the problems views had are here, once again. the tracks are all over the place, with generic dancehall tracks appearing right after trap bangers. the trap production is very solid but the same can't be said about the slower songs. the awful struggle bars are once again here to make things cringy. the list of flaws goes on and on. what saves this playlist from being awful are the features, who for the most part do a great job at keeping things exciting. they do outshine drake, though and that's not a good thing. 2+ |

after the leaked tracks prior to this ralbum's release, i was afraid that we were rgonna get take care part 2. in other rwords, those tracks made me feel like we rwere about to get some dope tracks in the rmiddle of straight bs. i was praying that rviews would prove me wrong. it didn't. rthis exactly what i was expecting it to rbe, probably even worse. most of this rtracks are skippable and not something you rwould go for if you're trying to improve, rto show progression. the first half is reasily the best, wavy and more personal, rand it defin has its good moments, despite rsome really cringy struggle bars. the rsecond half is terrible tho, embrassing rthe side of drake that will never be good. rthe title track is the only redeeming one, rprobably the best track off of this shit, rreminding me of the best moments off riyrtitl. considering the amount of time we rhad to wait for this shit to drop, this rshit didn't deliver all the goods. it's rworth a few spins but nothing more. 2.5+ |

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+ |

40 minutes of music that sounds exactly like his other tapes but with even less
appeal. i'm failing to see him evolving. it's worth listening, especially for

he's very one-dimensional and predictable af. he can be creative at times but

for 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 HNDRXX | 3.0 |
much 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! 3 |

harry 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! 3+ |

another excellent project by injury reserve. we got a more accessible album this time around, with

weirdness when needed. seriously, this shit has the best hook game i heard in 2016. 4.5- |

Isaiah Rashad The Sun's Tirade | 3.0 |
i 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+ |

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

Jaden Smith Syre | 2.5 |
flawed af, with all the problems debuts suffer from. overlong, messy, badly writen, he gets carried by the production pretty much all the way and you can clearly see some biting as well (late kanye, anyone). however, the album is also packed with some really memorable moments and like i said, the production makes up for the majority of the mistakes here. i was expecting an awful album but this is not that bad tbh. not even bad. not good either but solid enough for me to care about jaden now. giving this shit a 1 lowkey exposes you as a guy who don't always listen to the albums you give a rating to tho i mean, you can dislike this ofc but in no way the album is awful all the way through. |

one 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. 4 |

JID DiCaprio 2 | 3.0 |
when people proclaim you the next kendrick lamar, the next big thing, you better show you're up to that bar, even if it's not your fault that there's so much hype around you. jid obviously set high expectations following everything he did on the last couple of years, and i really thought he was going to give a huge step forward from his last mixtape, but what he got here, sadly, is just a bunch of cool beats and flows, some dope bars here and there and not much else, really. the middle portion of the album is very slow-paced and forgettable, the features don't bring anything fresh with them, the bars hide what is essentially a thematically poor project... this isn't progression, and jid failed miserably at setting himself apart from his peers. that's what his goal was. |

nice mix between nigerian's rhythmic music and contemporary r&b, hip hop and dancehall. it's too all over the place and some tracks are awfully generic (trampoline is terrible) but you know, it has some gems (bambi) and it's a really fun project overall. 3 |

Joey Badass ALL-AMERIKKKAN BADA$$ | 4.0 |
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- |
Joey Purp iiiDrops | 3.5 |
as 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. 3.5 |

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! somehow, this ep manages to sound better than most albums released throughout the year. worth a few spins for what it is! 4- |
Kendrick Lamar Section.80 | 4.5 |
Kendrick Lamar DAMN. | 4.5 |
I can already see people calling this a sell out move from kendrick due to the more trendier sound that can be found throughout the majority of the album. however, that is a really unfair assumption to make, if you take the time to properly digest the conceptual narrative that unfolds all the 14 tracks on display here. kendrick meditates on various themes like his position in the business, the fears that his status infused on him, the depressive feelings that he dealt and still deals with, coincidencies of the past that literally made it possible for him to be where he's at, and other things like politics, religion, society and the trends, etc. all of these themes show both kendrick's wicked personality and his wicknesses, culminating in an album that lets you know who kendrick really, really is. this is a really personal album and some people won't get that because on a surface level, it seems like a very straight-forward project but that isn't the truth at all. even sonically, the production has an astonishing amount of detail and texture to it, with some sounds only being able to be caught if you use really good headphones. the beat switch-ups are also used to change the characters' different moods/feelings, which is a great touch narratively speaking. it is more than enough to cement him as one of the greatest to ever do it. 4.5 |

I get the need for people to make the excuse that this album has nothing to do with hip hop and kid cudi is trying new things here. i get it, i really do! however, that doesn't make the music that is on display here any better. lyrics, production, delivery, concept.. everything is falling flat here! easily one of the worst projects of the year, regardless of genre. 0- |

a very left-field release from tde, and easily the worst album to come out from there too. the vocals are too damn muddy, baffled by the production more often that not. that brings us to another huge problem. lance tried to go for some abstract typa shit with the overall sound, but that decision backfired him. awful transitions from track to track, skits that don't add nothing to the narrative. all in all, a mess of an album. tbh, this sounds more like a bunch of snippets rather than a full lenght album. i came into this album expecting to learn why tde brought him to the team, but now i'm even more confused. oh, and no, he's not jay rock.. 1.5+ |
Laura Marling Semper Femina | 3.0 |
i like the way laura ponders about things from a certain distance here but too often, she distances herself too much to the point feelings and emotions don't flow at all, making this a somehow overly moody, sometimes lifeless experience. some really great moments here and there, though. she just has done better in the past. 3+ |

Logic Everybody | 1.5 |
logic has been biting kendrick for a while now and sometimes it works to his favor, sometimes it doesn't but one thing was always clear from the get go: logic doesn't know how to paint full, clear pictures of what he's talking about, something that kendrick mastered ever since section 80. however, and for the first time ever, logic was able to create a vivid picture of what he was saying with his most recent album called "everyday". sadly, that's not a compliment at all, as the picture he painted was completely covered with, well, corn. so much corn. plus, does this guy know that there are more than two human races? this album felt too black and white. but yea, one of the worst albums of the year so far and easily his worst. 1.5 |

lorde 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. 4 |

i wasn't really looking forward to this album, even though i really enjoyed the waters but i simply hadn't put much attention into the singles he had dropped prior to this release. i gotta say, i was really impressed by the end result! there aren't many artists tackling the concept of love in the way mick did here, and that's easily the strongest aspect of this album. the concept is wonderfully realized thanks to jenkins' always-on-point lyricism and interesting skits that give another layer to the project (the glitches can become annoying, though). the beats are also fantastic and varied: in one moment, you're listening to a really chill track and after a few minutes, you see yourself listening to a kaytranada assisted jam that's probably the best track this album has to offer (communicate, btw). all in all, extremely good follow-up to the waters that actually plays like a sequel in more ways than one if you pay close attention. 4 |

sonically, there's nothing here that will make you want to comeback to it, and the same thing can obviously be sad about the content of the album, which is devastating and profoundly sad to say the least. however, this isn't the type of album you keep coming back to multiple timea, despite how good it is. it's an experience, it belongs to a moment during life, and you come back to that experience when you feel like tou should. 4 |

Rick Ross Rather You Than Me | 3.0 |
much like most of his projects, it lacks consistency. some tracks are gifted with amazing production (especially the tracks prod by bink), the features help things getting more exciting and there's a bit of content here but more often than not, all you get is rick ross being rick ross. been there, done that. having said that, this is still hid best effort to date since teflon don. 3+ |

not up there with the other two albums imo it might feature better content but the hooks and the prod aren't so creative this time around. having said that, that's only compared to their previous efforts because on its own, it's pretty much another bombastic, entertaining yet thought provoking album from a duo that continues to try to be amongst the best. 4+ |

sakamoto 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. 4 |

schoolboy q has been trying to create a great album for a while now, but he certainly failed to do so every single time he tried. habits and contradictions never really went in after the haunting and dark sacrilegious, while oxymoron lost points with too many boring, uninspired club bangers that didn't have to be there at all. to be honest, this album right here faces many of the same problems the others had, even if this one is a tad better. his label made him put that overtime track as well as the track with candice, which are absolutely horrible tracks that don't even fit in the overal feel of the album. this project is a bit too long too, could've easily been cut out to like 60 minutes. 3.5+ |

i 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! 4 |

the mountain goats have always been one of the most consistent folk bands to ever do it, with lyrical concepts that are simply fastinating and folk music with the usage of guitars to create the perfect tone and mood for the concepts to shine through. on goths, and after countless great albums, they finally crafted a near-perfect one, perhaps one of their best since "sunset tree" but with no guitars whatsoever, which is incredible. it's folk music in its purest form for the most part, which also gives the album a theatrical feeling that fits like a glove, as if we were in a theatre. it's musically ambitious, it's funny, it's sad, it's catchy. amazing! 4.5 |

i applaud them for trying something completely left field for them, especially considering how old the band is, but i don't think the timing of this release was appropriated. we are now in an era that has seen this genre bein taken to new heights. we are in an era known for being experimental, that likes to push the envelope a little further each time... and in the middle of all of that, here they are, doing it for the first time ever and taking no risks with it other than the risk of, indeed, doing it for their first time. it's okay. 3 |

The Weeknd Starboy | 3.5 |
if 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+ |

an album that i feel it's ahead of its time by the fact that people are not yet ready to try to understand this sub genre of hip hop. for those who already get it, this is easily the best project of its kind so far. stunning production values and great harmonies all rover the tracks make this a really great project and a huge step up in the direction from travis scott. 4+ |

Ty Dolla Sign Campaign | 3.5 |
ty 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. 3.5 |

Vince Staples Big Fish Theory | 3.0 |
vince staples continues to further push the boundaries of his music style and here, while doing so, he actually pushed some hip hop boundaries as well by bringing a really fresh sound to the table with the help of flume and, especially, sophie. mixing west coast beats with afro rhythms while throwing some minimalistic sounds to the mix to make for a more layered adventure musically, big fish theory's is probably the most ambitious and rewarding project since atrocity exhibition. some people will be thrown off by this sound though, so approach it at your own risk. great concept too. 4+ |

great 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- |

definitely a solid effort but it could and should've been way better. the skits brought absolutely nothing to the table and the interlude pales in comparison to the rest of the tracks. these shortcomings create pacing issues that really damage an otherwise great project, full of dirty, nasty and creative beats, bars on top of bars and droog's exceptional mc skills. plus, why no "42"? why no "vigilantes" instead of "help"? why? 3.5- |

it suffers from the same problems other albums of its kind suffer: they feel like a compilation of random pop songs instead of an actual pop album. 2.5 |
Zayn Mind of Mine | 3.0 |
i really want to like this album. there are some great moments here and there and zayn's vocals never allow boring beats to completely ruin a song. the problem is that he borrowed too many elements from other artists - frank ocean, miguel, usher, nerd, xx and many more - and it lacks the personality needed for a debut album to truly shine. the lyrics and content can run a bit stale towards the end too. i see potential though, so i'm expecting him to drop something way better in a couple of years from now, much like timberlake did. nice debut but not what it should've been.. 2.5 |
