Dope release day

very helpful thread genuinely

for the love of the music

heavy folk day today

helena deland's album is so pretty and calming

maple glider's is nice as well, gotta play it some more to see if i like it as much as her debut which i really f*** with

boygenius ep...........afraid of heights is the good song, i guess

i wish i was good at giving number ratings like @xxxkiraxxx lol

fred again and jozzy... good song !

it is good! i'm not a big fred fan but that one caught me

oh so none of y'all were gonna tell me I was missing the new Brittany Howard single!

Skepta's Amy DJ tribute and Mura Masa single added too for the UK mandem

KIRA'S WEEKLY REVIEWS: 10/13

†††(Crosses) - Goodnight, God Bless, I Love U, Delete. 6.5-7/10
Chino Moreno (from the GOATed band Deftones) returns once again with his sexy ahh voice on some melancholic Synth/Electropop instrumentals. Sure, it can sound one-dimensional/bland on some songs but when that s*** hits it really hits and a lot of the times it does.


Bad Bunny – nadie sabe lo que va a pasar mañana 6/10
Bad Bunny returns to Trap. His OG fans might be happy now after complaining about him going pop. But y’all know what? I think Bad Bunny shines more when he experiments in Latin Pop, Reggaeton, Dancehall/Afrobeats and other genres. Un verano sin ti is my favourite project of his and it was THE summer album for me last year. Después de la playa, Tarot, Enséñame a bailar, El apagón, Tití me preguntó, Otro atardecer, Neverita - so many different sounds/genres and he performed well on all of those. Also, his song on Tainy’s album this year (which is a great project btw) MOJABI GHOST is one of the best he’s ever released.
I even liked his Jersey club inspired single WHERE SHE GOES and I was ready for a crazy project.
Trap Bunny stans will probably heavily fw this - but even they won’t deny that this project doesn’t come close to X 100PRE. The highlights on this project are really nice tho - WHERE SHE GOES, Baticano, ACHO PR, UN PREVIEW, Perro Negro, Nadie sabe, Monaco.


Ken Carson - A GREAT CHAOS 5/10
A lot of fans from the OPIUM-sphere seem to really fw this. Some of the beats really go crazy on this one but I don‘t really care for Ken Carson‘s vocal performance and prefer Destroy Lonely more from this camp. This tape has a few bangers, tho.


MIKE - Burning Desire 6/10
Instrumentally, it‘s some amazing sample-based hip hop. Lyrically, I think Mike does his thing too - as always. Now, do I fw his mumbely flow? Sometimes. But can I enjoy it for a whole project? Not really. I appreciate his artistry and he’s definitely one of the more interesting rappers from the Drumless underground scene but I guess his s*** is not really for me.


Offset - SET IT OFF 5/10
The album actually starts with solid songs but then it falls off pretty quick. This is just another generic trap record imo and it’s disappointing because I fw Without Warning a lot.


Westside Gunn - And Then You Pray for Me 5.5/10
I think WSG is the most interesting member of Griselda. He doesn’t have the best rhymes or punchlines ofc but he shines in charisma, uniqueness, incredible beat selection and usually crafts good album experiences. But all of these characteristics are missing here and it results to probably his weakest project that I know of. I don’t have anything against rappers like him trying to rap on trap beats but some of these songs are just straight up dumpster juice. He might have to stick to sample based boom bap s***.

Any new singles I should check out?

These are mostly just 2-3rd(or more) listen ratings so the numbers can always change but I’ll do an update if my opinion on a project changes after a while.

goat

i gotta be in the right mood when I finally listen to Offset, probably one day in the gym like I did with Rocket Power or something
