I don’t know why he changed the cover at the last second, it was much better. Is it safe to say that Rick Ross is a legend at this point? Hell, the words ‘Maybach’ and ‘Music’ put together remind me of Ross now. That’s a big deal. Either way, Ross has just been vibing for the past few years, making music for himself, and I honestly respect that. Ross has hit that point in the career where he doesn’t exactly have to do everything to stay in the limelight because he made it. Unless something really bad happens, he isn’t going anywhere any time soon. He recently dropped a new album, Richer Than I Ever Been , and it’s a nice change of pace, mainly because it’s only 12 tracks. Let’s just not waste time and get into it. Honestly, what else do I even have to say about Ross? He’s essentially doing his thing. I think 21 Savage has one of his best verses ever on “Outlawz” and the beat on “The Pulitzer” is absolutely insane. The chorus on “Wiggle” made me audibly laugh the first time I heard it, ...
This is officially my 300th review. This is a massive milestone for me, so thank you for everything so far. 🤍 Throughout the past few months, I’ve been getting into UK hip-hop lately. I’ve found a lot of artists in this space through Twitter, and outside of names like Stormzy, Lancey Fouxx, my personal favorite Skepta, and the rapper we’re gonna be talking about here, Dave. His debut album, Psychodrama , is highly praised as one of the best hip-hop albums in recent years, and while I personally don’t think that, I totally understand why. The concept of that album being a year-long therapy session is a tough topic to tackle, but Dave certainly has one of the better albums in that vein across all genres. When his newest album, We’re All Alone In This Together , was announced, I was pretty excited to see what he could do next. I ended up avoiding all the singles from this, and that’s always pretty exciting to me. With features from Stormzy, Giggs, Ghetts, Meekz Manny, Wizkid, BOJ, Snoh A...
I’m gonna avoid using ‘wintery’ as a descriptor because, if I’m being honest, it’s just way too easy. Well, hi everyone. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been here. I’ve had some great life updates that gave me less time to write, so I’m gonna accommodate that. I’m gonna review whatever I wanna review, and I’m happy that this was the project that the new era of Cordavision Records is going to kick off. I’ve talked about vaporwave before here, but I’ve never dove into the backlog of albums I have like this so I can write. Either way, let’s get into one of the genre’s most chilling releases, Arctic Circuitry . The first of two releases from Dennis Mikula, a.k.a. Electric Specter 電妖怪, Arctic Circuitry feels most like a soundtrack to an old SNES game, but a blizzard froze the cartridge and corrupted the files. The project’s haunting, cassette-like cover fits this image perfectly, especially with the little hits of static and aged computer graphics. After some extra listens, I even notice...
