He got inhabited by the spirit of Bootsy Collins, then did a song with him a handful of tracks in, then started rapping about being polyamorous.

this shit is dope. and in case you do check it out, he's not really rappin on here except on a track or two.

sucks cuz probably no one will hear this since he's just that "Classic Man" guy in the history books now.

I was impressed. Not sure how much I'll go back to it personally, but it beat my expectations

this a good "put it on right before the sun starts setting chillin on the balcony with a drink" kinda album.

I was never really big into him. I checked this album and was pleasantly surprised. It was cool enough that it'll get some more spins from me.

I will check this out. I loved 85 to Africa

I didn't care for that goth album she put out a year or so ago, but she's back in her bag on this S'Mores project, and it's time to give her some real credit. She can spit, and she can put together a solid project.

Both really good.

Cashus King & Blu - The Blu​(​e) Tape
https://cashusking.bandcamp.com/track/the-blu-e-tape-feat-blu

Klassy - Good Seeds
https://klassybeatrock.bandcamp.com/album/good-seeds

now, he's not quite on Kendrick's level when it comes to BARS, but when it comes to ART? he's on the level in my book.

this new album is fucking great. IDK isn't just a rapper, he's literally one of the best musical ARTISTS we have going. he never mails it in.

It has some tracks I will definitely come back to but I keep cooling on him after each new album.

i need to listen more but off one full listen this feels like his 2nd best project to me.

He's definitely one of my favorite artists today. He always puts out a solid project, and you can tell that he genuinely cares about his craft. Really looking forward to listening

the album he dropped today is a dope traditional r&b album

only one song on there i didn't like.

I hate that Candy song but the rest is really good

to me.

like, nothing earth shaking in my opinion, but definitely good listens.

It's on Apple Music in Atmos surround, FYI.

Billy Woods and Conway are both pretty good.

Very slow week. Not really excited for anything but I'll check out some. Radamiz & Thelonious Martin, Nico Segal, Chuck Strangers, Russ and maybe Keke Palmer and Soulja Boy.

Been a Fatou fan for a grip. Love listening to her stuff in the car...

Madison is good, but can I say 28 minutes does not equal "album"? (no disrespect, this is a generational thing that I just need to accept)

It came out last month but I just got hip to Kay Young's We Meet At Last EP today, too, and was very impressed.

I dig the album. But man, Utah, is a fucking jam to me. I was already a fan of her acapella/looped vocal style, but I really love her over that fuller production. I hope she does more like that in the future.

Pops was in his BAG on run ha.

Really diggin this, lotta refreshing stuff on there.

Fatoumata Diawara - London Ko
Deante Hitchock - Once Upon A Time
Astro Mega - Obsidian (producer from Toronto)
Chuck Strangers - The Boys & Girls
Hazel & Beatchild - This Too
Overmono - Good Lies

Mostly about relationships/women, but the raps and the beats are dope.

raps fire, beats super fire. that Havoc beat?

i like Jack Harlow, but that whole white rapper thing that popped off a couple weeks ago?

Russ just proved he's better. so, that's one.

Radamiz & Thelonious Martin - 2409 West Slauson (EP) is the only one I really liked but Fatoumata Diawara, Deante Hitchock and
Madison McFerrin were all good listens.

I'll probably end up checking out the other ones named by
wrecknoble next week.

Astro Mega - Obsidian
Hazel & Beatchild - This Too
Overmono - Good Lies

only made it half way thru though cuz i had been listening to music for the better part of 6 hours and my ears just needed a break.

and it delivered. I pre-ordered the vinyl back in January and I'm glad I did. It shipped out early last week so should arrive soon. Excited to bump that on the system.

Not much this week. I will be checking out KAYTRAMINÉ, Summer Walker, Angie Stone, Moka Only, Nowaah The Flood & Machacha, Estee Nack and Jay NiCE.

a few bangers on there for sure, but not all bangers which is what i kinda expected so maybe it's my fault? lol.

the Kaytra beats on there just weren't as fire as a whole (there's a few DOPE ones) as i thought they'd be.

i liked Summer Walker's EP a lot.

Unnecessarily vulgar in a weird and forced way….I assumed he was like 18 or something. Nope, lol.

He’s unlikable too - I can’t listen to rappers who come off as unlikable.

Nah, I can’t get into this album.

Fun party flow, but it feels like it should be accessible to like a family party-- then he just throws out random vulgar shit.

Well, issueS:

1) It seemed to be pushed as a summer album but is hardly spring
2) I don't think the beats fit Amine. When you look at his most successful songs (Caroline, Reel It In, Charmander, etc) ... shit, when you look at the songs he sounded the best over on his last album ... I don't see why Kaytra even pitched a lot of the beats he decided to pitch

4eva
Rebuke
Sossaup

Them shits go. Wish they went this route for the whole album the rappity rap shit don’t really work for him.

Hannah Jadagu was a pretty good listen. i'll keep an eye out for her.

the Gaslamp Killer/Heliocentrics album was good (saw it on bandcamp, not dsps) - one question tho - wasn't GLK in some rapey/creepy drama a couple years ago? Whatever happened w/ that?

Month basically done. Going to check out the Arlo Parks, Jay Worthy & Roc, Rory, Kari Faux, and Kassa Overall.

I think it might be off-putting for some but as you let it play it builds into something interesting. Hopefully there's an album coming.

Rory put together a great group of people and kept everyone on task. Solid, solid project.

and I've been playing this Arlo Parks nonstop since I got it.

I didn't like the start of the Rory album but the rest was solid.

Overall, that album is pretty good.

Jazzy rap done in a great way. "Virtuoso musos appear alongside rap poets, including Danny Brown, Wiki, Lil B, and Shabazz Palaces."

Definitely recommend it.

is spitting his usual dopeness on that joint. Thanks for the heads up.

Think this actually came out in its entirety last month but didn’t see it talked about. It’s basically Ish using an alter ego though I’m not sure why as it’s still very Shabazz Palaces-like. He cadence is unmistakable at this point anyway. It’s a short joint but Luxury Us Love is my favorite joint.

Curious if anyone else here peeped it?
