![KANYE ¥ & TY DOLLA $ [VULTURES]](https://s3.castbox.fm/37/db/ce/e8ece57a3fe670f98911e40d5579a327af_scaled_v1_400.jpg "KANYE ¥ & TY DOLLA $ [VULTURES]")
Creative genius Kanye and Feature powerhouse Ty Dolla come together to put out their collaborative album, which I personally call a musical experience. Filled with different styles of amazing productions and stacked with star studded verses, this album sees Kanye West express his feelings in the most natural way we know him to as Ty Dolla showcases self as the perfect companion to accompany him on this revealing journey, it's a collaborative album nonetheless, but it feels like Kanye had too much on his mind and just wanted Ty to ride along.
Ayo Balogun, popularly called Wizkid, Big Wiz or Starboy, an ace veteran in the dominating afrobeat genre drops an easy going rendition and sequel to his afro hearted and creative expressive Soundman. Soundman 2 comes as a gift package as it's filled with flowing melodies, laid back deliveries, the ever obvious lyrical crossovers and serenading or soothing production. Brief and heat packed in 4 songs, the tape reflects on how far he's come, his creative dexterity and range. Goes to show, music in certain cases can be effortless, emit harmonious naturalism and still hold water, time and time again.
David Awoudu, with the stage name Preacher Kingz, is a rapper gifted with soulful lyrical penmanship, a wordsmith in his lane and stretches the boundaries of his creative talent when necessary. This is obvious with his most recent body of work titled BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.
A brief, experimental-yet precise 6 tracked recording that shows him flex his talented muscles. With productions and soundwork, soothing, celestial, nostalgic and even raw in certain pockets, Preacher Kingz not only aims for something different while playing to his strengths, but also reminds listeners why he's to be appreciated for his musical innovation as well as consistency.
It's been 3 solid years, since we heard the Afro inclined, British gangster rapper get behind the mic and describe his state of reality - be it spiritual, emotional or physical-through his thoughts jotted in a pad
From the harsh streets of Stratford to the flashing lights at the 02 arena, Jhus has never failed to stay true to his style and maintain that creative range for which we love his music for.
Beautiful and Brutal Yard further shows the creative paradox he faces, as it views the harsh realities of a musician who still embraces what he's acquainted to and calls it home. With songs applaudingly track listed to embrace the difference in moods as sert out by the artist, This albums speaks loads, as it is commercially appealing, watered down for J Hus's standards in order to leave a general impression of acceptance.
1The eponymous tilted album has been one conceptualized by a genius artist for years, popularly know as Ab Soul, the enlightened and vast knowledged rapper brings his musical art down to earth as he flows effortlessly over relatable production and 'dumbed down content'. With retro like hooks, reflective lyrics and passionate verses-soulful and otherwise. Ab soul captivates the audience with depth and shows us why we really missed him for who he is.
After a lengthy hiatus with beacons of hope of rearrival to the rap scene with minimum songs and scarce outputs through eps and mixtapes, the veteran, decade studded rapper Vector proves why he's not one to be outlisted or taken out the game easily. Teslim or as I favorably put it 'The Energy Lives on' as an album, shows exactly why with revealing lyrics, mind blowing technique, blended features and well done crossovers.
Young Preacher, the most recent body of work put out by Emeka Ahamfule stagely known as Blaqbonez shows the artist had evolved, grown and matured with his now pronounced direction of music which is essentially love, but put in different patterns musically which all lead to the same theme, the cohesion on this project is amazing and songs are easily likeable
Bella drops his debut album after breaking out 2 years into the music scene, from a backdrop of 2 successful eps, he shows his growth, Versatility, unique sound output with attempted crossovers in a track list of sufficient records. With productions suited for his style, Bella shows why he's not a musical name to be blotted out of the contemporary afrobeat scene just yet.
Fireboy drops his latest album showing his growth in emotions concerning music as well as his constant reinvention of his artistry and diversity, after going through a brief writer's block, he reignites his pen and finds his musical footing with apparent growth in his tunes
After years of musical departure, one of rap's most gifted and rare minds, delivers a cohesive, seamless album that sees dire societal issues unfold, deeply heart wrenching lyrics shared and the importance of family. While therapeutic and spiritual guidance is a key component of this album, Kendrick never fails to use musical technicality to speak up on realistic happenings around him, how they have shaped him and how far he's grown. It has been a long wait to hear the delivery with a difference in musical performance, alas the wait is over and it was worth it.
Hard hitting, luxurious boasting and emotionally charged roll outs see reinvigorated-and one of trap music's most influential voices-, Future resurge to the pinnacle of emotions barraged similar to Hndrxx, Beast Mode 2 and Evol after almost 2 complete years since his last solo project.
With her sophomore album sounding like a continuance of her stance as a diva with standards and as such one who won't be treated as less, Summer is still over her sentimental feelings and steadily encourages her partner to do better as she sheds every inch of her feelings in her soulful and vocal manner with production textured to her taste.
Ransom and Rome Streetz deliver justice to an impressive tape engineered with hard hitting productions that are suitable for the element of true hiphop. With vast years of experience in skill, technique and content of rap, both musicians purposely de-mistify the crux of vivid and honest story telling
Love is war or war could be out of love, however you view it, the underlying truth here is action necessitated and Prettyboy won't be left out of that sphere. If it's not being a vocal activist against the realities he faces as a young individual in Nigeria,he's comfortably a sideman who derives joy and pleasure in frolicking around infidelity. With his 3rd musical package out as a limited play, D-O showcases his talent as he extends his musical gifts out of the box and shows reasons why he should be a name not forgotten in the Afro-pop/fusion mix
Grafh is an artist well endowed with the lyrical ability and technique to propel him to global dominance. Rapping shoulder to shoulder with hip hop star groups like Dipset and nods from well known rappers like Drake, his discography speaks volumes. His new tape is a continuous showcase of his skill, with the collaboration of Legendary producer and Dj, Shay (RIP), Grafh's lyrical semblance emerges but the image is not exactly bright
Since 2009, Afro hip-hop Emcess Ghost and Tec of the Show Dem Camp rap collective have fused their message with conscious lyricism from a political landscape(Clone Wars), drifting towards alternative appeal with serene instrumentals and laid back delivery (Palmwine Music). A fusion, which has solidified their place as unique doyens of the Afro musical scene, see them re-emerge -after an ear-marking, splendid 2019 prior to a turbulent 2020- in full force with an album sticking to the core of their musical craft. With a lengthy streaming tracklist, both rappers dish in their bags of contents and produce gifts of lyrics ordained in advice, political consciousness, technique, range and positive messages.
Lloyd Banks, the punchline king known for his heart piercing lines and unique delivery takes us on a soulful, hearfelt journey on this album as he expresses his feelings on betrayal, loss, pain, belief and accomplishment. It's been 5 years since he dropped a project and 10 years since his last album, but the pen still remains as strong as ever.
YSL deliver a broader scale of content than the first as the sequel tape shows strength and cohesion in contemporary sound and production.
