A1TheHookGod - Pop Out [Review]

Rating 3 out of 5

Sometimes a record has so much energy you wanna flip the the table over and start jumping on the cash register of the coffee shop you’re currently writing from... just me? Well ‘Pop Out’ has so much energy and bounce you can’t help but have a visceral reaction. A1 is really putting on for Alabama and city should be proud. This record reminds me that music is simple, just make something that makes us feel something. Pop Out has me FEELING!

Malcom x Bino - Exhausted [Review]

Rating 3 out of 5

I think we can all agree that life is tiring. Sometimes its so tiring I can’t even find the words to say how I’m feeling, and on those days I’m grateful records like this exist. Malcom & Bino dive into how people and life can be draining and well exhausting and say what we all wanna say when we feel like we keep taking losses I’M EXHAUSTED!

Lance Markeith - Crop

Rating: 3 out of 5

Rap feels like its entering a new era. Trap doesn’t hit as hard, and fun is coming back to the genre. Lance drops clever bars, bouncy flows over a skipping beat that has groove and fresh pockets. Rap is crying for a new sound and ‘Crop’ is a step in the right direction.

Wakai - '05 Honda [Review]

Rating 3 out of 5

Taken from his new album ‘Some people scream, some people talk’ 05 Honda is a serious head bopper. The groove in this record is infections just as is Wakai’s laid back flow. The chorus is catchy and potent and has us feeling like we’re riding shotgun as Wakai shows us his world.

Chevy Quis - Big Ben [Review]

Rating: 3 out of 5

Chevy just made one to send the clubs up all 2023. This record is effortless but still witty.
