Album reviews, recommendations, and general rap commentary.
3 KEYS: Second Hand Accounts w/ Bloodmoney Perez & Messiah Musik
If this truly is the final chapter for Bloodmoney Perez as a lyricist… he picked a great time to give us a terrifically potent piece of himself.
3 KEYS: Metatron’s Cube w/ AJ Suede & Televangel
The creative synergy between AJ Suede and Televangel makes Metatron’s Cube a sure-fire album of the year candidate, and my current crown holder, if you asked me today.
3 KEYS: Joyland w/ Stik Figa & Conductor Williams
“Kinetic”. What a perfect word to describe the chemistry Stik Figa and Conductor Williams display on Joyland.
3 KEYS: The Birth of LoneSword w/ Lungs/Lonesword
The level of creativity coming out of the New York underground is so diverse and vast, which can make it understandably overwhelming to keep track of. That being said, if you’re interested in experiencing a significant tide of the overall creative wave coming out of the region, The Birth of LoneSword is an exceptionally smart place to start.
3 KEYS: I GOT BANDZ FOR THE MOONLANDIN’ w/ Semiratruth
This is a very wholesome album that makes it hard to stay in a pessimistic mood upon listening! Press play if you’re looking to add a dose of grounded positivity to your day.
3 KEYS: Bad Man from Red Butte w/ 2 Dolla Will & Iceberg Theory
Bad Man from Red Butte is an amazing piece of work, which you simply cannot get anywhere else.
3 KEYS: WOLFOXE w/ Jouquin Fox & Virgil Wolfe
There is a palpable liveliness that Naked Machines gives me when I listen to it that makes it a highly rewarding listen.
