Reviews of albums old and new from iconic artists and up and coming musicians alike.
Kodak Black- 'Heart Break Kodak' Review
Kodak Black had a wild 2017. The project baby found himself battling legal troubles, warding off critics, and moving the pulse of Hip-Hop with captivating singles and cohesive albums. Seeing his progression thus far, it’s hard to believe that this was once the kid who wrote “Skrt” in 2016.

Justin Timberlake: 'Man of the Woods' Review
After the 20/20 Experience release that Justin Timberlake made, Man of the Woods had mixed reviews and was claimed "average at best." Justin wanted to tie back to his Tennessee roots with this new album and incorporate new and old styles of his earlier albums. With features from Alicia Keys and Chris Stapleton, JT adds a little bit of everything to his new album. I sat down and listened to every second of every song and broke it down for you all. I rated each song out of a scale of one to five. Here are my thoughts on Justin Timberlake’s new album, Man of the Woods.

Review- 'Black Panther Soundtrack' Kendrick Lamar
The album for the highly anticipated Black Panther movie is here and it's good... Period... That's it. But seriously, this is a unique album for what I hope is a unique movie. Initially, you get a different vibe from this because it's not credited to "various artists," it's credited to Kendrick. So coming in you know this isn't going to be some weird mash-up of songs that don't really make an album, like a majority of soundtracks.

Review — Rich Brian 'Amen'
From his breakout hit "Dat $tick" to releasing his first project, from Indonesia to LA and after signing with 88 rising, Brian Imanuel has come a long way in the last two years. This album is 44 minutes long and has the song catalogue of a debut project. The singles off this album are "See Me," "Chaos" and "Glow Like Dat" which I think is the strongest of the singles. The album fills out with a cypher in "Amen," some real life stories like "Kitty" as well as four tracks with features from Offset, NIKI, August 08, and Joji (who I wrote a review for after he released In Tongues, so check that out).

Fall Out for a Fall Out Boy
I hit the ground running with Fall Out Boy. When I got my hands on their first full-length record Take This to Your Grave, I was sure I found a new favorite band. As a huge fan of the pop-punk genre in my youth, I was more than ready to accept them into my musical playlist with Blink 182, New Found Glory, NOFX and the many Emo/Screamo heavyweights on the scene at the time.

Insecure's Your Middle Name
When you've been waiting for a long time for your favourite band to release new music and you're tired of unfulfilled promises, it's easy to understand why fans feel underwhelmed. Those that have read my article about MKS know this pain. So what do fans do? Listen to other bands or replay older material. Some choose to go the extra mile and make their own music to fuel their passion for their favourite bands...like the 004 did.

Migos - 'Culture II' Review
After a bullish 2017, the Migos are back. This time, they have more to share than ever. After the first Culture, each member embarked on their own collaborative journey. Offset and 21 Savage created Without Warning, Quavo and Travis Scott gave us Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho, and Takeoff has a tape coming with Lil Yachty.

Travis Scott & Quavo - 'Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho'
After careful deliberation and cultivation, the collaboration project between Travis Scott and Quavo arrived on December 22nd, 2017. The thirteen track mixtape, Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho, had the last say in a year filled with full-length collaborations.
