"The world around us is falling apart" opens up with "Alright" & you can instantly feel the powerful lyrics. The melodic wordplay & emotions in the song will grasp your attention. "Toxic" is the follow-up track & you can feel the lyrics in the song. This song is produced by Slayingibis. "Tokyo Drift" is an upbeat song & it feels good. The beat is infectious & I can see myself with this one on repeat. The song "sunrise" which is also produced by slayinibis is a whole vibe "pills with double cup mix em up with fuck love", starting off the verse like that will tell you everything you to know about this song. Producer vorontron pops up on the project a few times & he shows up on one of my favorites "Back Then". The song is about reminiscing & reflecting on a past relationship. The horns on "Slide" are amazing & then when the beat drops on it is top tier. The production by outtaspace is perfect on this song right here. Dope melodic lyrics over some great production is always amazing. "Chrome Hearts (hearts in pieces) is also a standout track on the project that i'm sure you will have on repeat. All in all, I can say this project is full of emotions, real life situations, reflections, mixed with dope production & replayable songs. "The world around us is falling apart" is something you should add to your collection of music for sure.

Chulo Ramon & Taye-Major gets Personal
Chulo Ramon & Taye-Major release Personally!!! From the start of the project with the song "Success & Serenity", I can tell this project will be dope. This song sets the tone for what's in store. The bars on this song are top tier & something I can listen to over & over. One of my favorite lines on this track "how you did all that trappin but ain't got no lawyer in place". That line alone can tell you the type of vibe this "Success & Serenity" is on. The following track is "Personal" & this a stand out track as well. The different flows and the relatable bars are perfection. "Every intention" speaks on personal thoughts, trust, the grind, & staying true to who you are. While listening "Out of this world", I can tell that the bars that are spit on this project are well thought out & every song is some major league rapping. Sometimes not all but I can look at a song title and know if i'm gone like a song. "Ease my mind" is one of those songs & i'm not disappointed. The beat is solid but the verses are on another level. "Put that same energy into your bank account". Hunterman is also featured on "Ease my mind" as well & after that "Letting nothing slide" follows that & it's riding as well. I can honestly say this project is pretty much perfection. Excellent raps & dope beats that don't outshine the lyricism. "Fatal Attraction" features Jerica Duvall & this is one of my favorites on the project as well. "Remember" is a standout track as well & it's about the lonely nights, giving your last, & being out here trying to get this thin we called life right. "Niggaz hate claiming them L's but want the credit for them wins", that line alone is so powerful & true. "Sliding" is one of those songs that's so real you have to play it over and over and over to catch everything. The "Personally" projects ends with the song "Preeshate it" & it's a fitting way to end it. The song is like a dedication to everyone who has stayed down, the people that has supported, the people that keep it real, & everyone who deserves it. Chulo Ramon & Taye-Major did what they had to do with this project & I Love it!!!!

DSkillz Harris drops "THEY STILL NEED FOOD"
If you're a fan of what I like to call real hip-hop, real rap, then this is that organic feel that you're probably lookin for. Dskillz Harris pops off the "THEY STILL NEED FOOD" project with "Hands and Feet Wine" & it's the perfect opener. "Blank Stares" follows up as track 2 and it's so refreshing to hear. The title track alone of "I Met Busy Bee When I was 16" is dope af & I knew the song was gone be hard. I was not let down at all, s/o to the legend Busy B & I Love to see the young artist showing respect to the OG's. "Hope my seed join the family business like Bronny". "When I ain't have a cent, I had imagination", it's so real bars being rapped on this "Skillz and Slim" track feat. ionrapnomore. This beat on this "Baltimore Renaissance Wraps" so aggressive & this features Bito Sureiya. "life goes on so I must adjust", the "By Chance Brownies" track feat. o.keez is straight to it & to the point. "Word Up" is a collaborative effort feat. Trai Blessed, ionrapnomore, SilkyMike, Knowle3dg3 Born, Miclopedia, & Black Chakra and honestly I can't tell you who has the best verse because everybody is snapping. Oh yeah this song is produced by Dskillz Harris himself. If you're a fan of crew tracks then you will love this. The album ends with "Capri Suns & Lemonade" ft. Black Chakra & this gives me a Wu-Tang feel for some reason. Another bonus track is "Mystery Meat" which is produced by Chile Madd & this track is very interesting. I recently just started visiting Speak Easys in a few cities so to hear those Speak Easy bars on this last track blew my mind. Super dope!!!

Blind American is here!!!
Marujah & Crhymes releases Blind American & it's something I highly suggest you should check out. The project pops off with "The Trail" & I must admit it's the perfect way to start the album off. The funky guitar riffs & the catchy vocals mesh nicely. The next song is "Blind American" & I was intrigued at this one before it even came on. "one time for the wall that's gots to fall" the song starts off & I instantly felt something introspective coming. This is one of my favorites on the project. The uptempo of the next song "Serpent" is something that I can play over & over & over as well. "how low will they go, when they surround you in darkness", the song "How low" speaks volumes and is a top tier song by Marujah & Crhymes. The beat on "120 days" is so eclectic & euphoric, I suggest you play that at high volumes. "White Girl wasted" is one of the smoother tracks on the project in my opinion & it's pretty fucking dope. Also the hook on this song is so mesmerizing & it's perfect for this song. The project ends with the song "Syriana" & it's a perfect follow up to "White Girl wasted". All & all this is a perfectly blended album with great production, funky guitar licks, dope vocals, mesmerizing hooks, and that all over great feel you're probably looking for when listening to some metal. Marujah & Crhymes delivered with these songs & I hope they can continue their reign in the future with great music after great music. The sky is the limit, or is it!!!!!

T.Ledger says it's "Game Time"
T.Ledger releases "Game Time" & it's a versatile 18 songs. "Basketball" is the first song to catch my attention. With the vocals to a minimum in the background it's something about that is ecclectic and original. The beat on "AFL" is so smooth and is a wonderful vibe. "As I migrate through the album "Quarter Time Huddle" catches my attention. The beat is dark but it's a vibe as well. WIth the vocals being down at a minimum I can imagine what It would sound like if it was louder. "Table Tennis" is speaking on being the best at it. The "Downball" beat is riding & I like the way the bass hits. Presco joins T.Ledger on "Morning after" & this has a different feel from the other songs on the project. I also wish the vocals were louder on it but this beat is banging. The project ends with Top Blizzy on "Croissant" & this is something different & unique. Overall I think with more mixing on the vocals this could really be something special.
Young Mally hits with Southern Gibberish
From the time the beat dropped on the "Introduction" on this Southern Gibberish tape by Young Mally, I knew I was in for something great. The beat alone on the introduction has soul. The album follows up with "Nasty Hoe" which is a comedic relief but at the same time something that can go off in the club. The follow up is "Twurk" which will instantly give you
the party vibe especially after hearing "Nasty Hoe". Twurk is one that will have the ladies lined
up on the dance floor. "That ain't gone work, Pt. 2" is so relatable! I love it!!! I can actually hear this one going off in the club too as the crowd raps the lyrics. Vic Rippa shows up on "Get that money" which is one of those motivational tracks that people can feel. "Closed mouths won't never get fed". Young Mally & Rc Da Soul Boy come together on "Cadillac" and this is most def one for the cadillac drivers and riders. Young Mally switches the vibe up on "Make Love" & the title alone is everything that you think it is. The party commences on "The Whisper song" & I can instantly see the ladies love this one right here. The beginning of "Get Jiggy" sounds very familiar lol. I'll let you figure out where the sound at the beginning comes from. This one here is a vibe & the beat is very creative and one of the best on the project. NiyahKayee & RoxiieReese show up on "Pray to God" & this is something different from everything that's on the project & this is that type of song that's going to touch your soul. As soon as "Big Dawg" came on it sounded like a High School band was playing the instruments. "I'm the big dawg in this bitch, fuck these hoes i'm trying to get rich". This is probably my favorite because of the flow, the hook, and of course the beat. On track 17 the track "My Baby" is real smooth & something the ladies will love as well. I can put this one on repeat. Young Mally ends this dope project with "Fakin"...he is speaking on some real topics, going through life, and is giving a perspective of what & where he is from. I'll be looking forward to hearing more dope music from Young Mally in the future. This is pretty damn good!

Kai, dropped something special!!!!!
I want to start off by saying this Silky Joints, Vol.2 is a VIBE!!!!! The project
pops off with "Lavender Body Oil" and this is super dope and eclectic. The
wordplay, the sample, the feel of this track is amazing & you will be sure to
repeat it. "Royal Honey Pack/Throwback Caz Shit" gives me that classic East Coast
feel that I was raised on. If you're a person who appreciates lyrics & well
structed songs then this is for you. I love the beat switch half way through the
song & everything flows so smoothly. "Sometimes you gotta shut your mouth & let
your mind talk", Kai is giving us what we need to hear. Then on this
"Voodoo Crab For Takeout" he talks about sex couldn't help fix the situation that
he was in & how him & that special person went through the struggle. I actually
can feel all of these lyrics. If you know like I know then you know that
"Mahogany Teakwood" smells so good & this song sounds good and feels good. "People
don't appreciate the things they have most times", touched me & also that line
about taking it back like henny & hypnotiq, that's that real throwback. The Hulk.
This project is like a mixture between great 90's rap, 2000's vibe, and splash
of current rap. The production of this project is amazing by the way. "Vickie
Sue Truths" sounds like something Kanye would have produced in his early Rocafella
days so you know it's something special. The album ends with "Teddy P & Hennessy"
& I can say that there is a great combination. This song here ends with what I
will say is a perfect project. I can't even choose my favorite & there is no song
on here that I dislike.
