"Legends Never Die" by Juice WRLD - Review

      Juice WRLD was a spectacular rapper and was one of the best freestylers I’ve ever seen in my life. Unfortunately, I bet you already know that he died way too young. If he was still alive, he would be one of the greatest rappers of the decade. To honor Juice WRLD’s legacy, they made this album to celebrate his life. “Legends Never Die,” is a 22 song album with many exciting features and catchy themes.

"Let God Sort Em' Out" by Clipse - REVIEW

      The most anticipated rap album in 2025 lived up to the hype by Clipse, Malice, and Pharrell Williams. Let God Sort ‘ Em Out is for pure hip-hop heads with its abstract beats and deep lyrics filled with depression, beef with Travis Scott, and many double entendres. Its strength is in the incredible five-track run of “ The Birds Don’t Sing” to “ Ace Trumpets” and those spectacular features. It succeeds as a comeback for Clipse and newfound respect for these hip-hop legends. The production by Pharrell Williams strengthens these incredible tracks to be even more incredible. It deserves its high rating of a 97/100 - Konner Kern

"are you lonely?" by Shteppi - REVIEW

      This album has felt long anticipated for me and fans of Shteppi (aka ISSBROKIE) and it honestly far exceeded my expectations. The narrative of this album goes so deep and feels like something that you truly would of never expected from Shteppi, honestly its still processing in my head that Shteppi even came up with it. My highlights on this album are "it's only a matter of time until its over anyway," anytime Shteppi has tried the shoegaze sound its simply just been amazing and it shows here, the raw and stripped emotion really adds to the track, another couple standouts are "hopeless romantic," and "don't ever say you love me again." The outro is "you're not alone, dummy" and to me its the perfect outro for the album, the message of the outro is truly beautiful and really ends the album making you think "what the f*ck bro" - Aden Seelbinder
