Aminé – 13 months of summer
My personal choice for the Week album, the third solo that Aminé Solo Album brings influences from his previous work with Kaytranada, as well as his heritage in Ethiopia. The consequence is another project that feels like sunshine, like clouds clear in the next three months.
Chucky – I live I have died again
One thing I will always love youth; They wear their arms influences. Chuckyy’s voice yozes in Chicago drill, especially pioneers who caused the road for him. Meanwhile, you can say baby with a delicious taste in movies; the apocalyptic chant from Mad Max: Fury Road appropriate the themes that are fatal to his newest.
Rico lost – Deadly
If not for Aminé, Rico would have been my pick for the album of the week. Despite what he told me Our last conversationIt was as if he did not shiver the need to make more rap anger that loved him to girls (and guys) somewhere. With a new team, label, and enthusiasm for screaming on his head, he made his best, dependent job for a while.
R2R Moe – Street 2 Treasures, Vol. 1
New York Drill finally reached alllll in Uptown. Harlem Newcomer R2R Moe puts his neighbor’s signature on a regular rap subgenre development, made his so-called “angel drill.” This verification of character filtered, ghost “ooohs” and “AEHS” – think that Drake in his Eleven emo – and heavy reverb and echo. This is perfectly suited for introspective on late night drive.
Snoop Dogg – Iz is this a crime?
Dogpema is very inspired by Kendrick’s long victory in Kendrick, he hit the booth and returned with a new album, released on Thursday. In addition to setting up his array of death Jane Handcock and October London, Snoop set the rise of stars Denaun, Liressell, and Sexsylell, and Sexyy Red to help this 21-track effort.
Tee Grizzley – Forever
Think of you at some point, Tee Grizzley should take a vacation. And yet, he is here, six more months has been taken from his last whole effort, Post traumaticwith another package of motivated hustle anthems and motor street street tals.
AZ Cape – “Game Time”
Los Angeles Staple Az Chike served a new spin on his usual turn-g-funk turn-up music, held the Gotdamnitdi peat more than normal. The track’s energy really built, with going to a nearby whispering and gaining momentum until he was like a train ready to jump over the paths.
Drum & Ellis Quinn – “Mars”
Frequent cheesing Virginia Part-time Rapper, full-time Crooner turns a new joint project with a hometown homie, Leorpio (The title inspired by Outkast’s rashcombine two zodiac signs of artists). The focus track “Mars” is important a microcosm of the project full; Hazy, repeated freestiles of downemptions giving the impression that both rappers have been recorded during a series of smoke sessions, enjoying each other’s company.
Kota friend – “Good girls” feat. Liana Bank $
Kota returns with an ode to women staying at home until time for vacations and celebrations. It’s got a real recurring but to vibe the paths like this always runs the risk of doing negative comparisons, but the good Kota also gives a songwriter in the tiptoe line. Liana Banks is an interesting addition, which has grilled some female sight and after the subject.
P-Lo – “No Book”
A Cool Story: Bay Area Rapper P-Lo Was Honored This Week by His Hometown, Pinole, Ca, a Very Cool Honor For Anyone, But Especially Able To Work With His Hometown NBA Team And Put On For Underrepresented Ethnic Groups Festival in La’s Historic Filipinotown and last week, and it was the most fun this the author has the same as six months). “Wo Hook” is the great victory in P-Lo
