DONT BE DUMB by A$AP Rocky - Review

May 3, 2026 12:34 AM

      DONT BE DUMB serves as a comeback from a almost 8 year album hiatus from A$AP Rocky. The highs of the 2026 release really do exceed expectations however some of the in-between songs just feel eh and the lows are some of Rocky's very worst. Songs like "STOP SNITCHING" with Sauce Walka and Bossman Dlow, and the single "HELICOPTER" really give fans what they have been waiting for in Rocky's return. However, songs like "STFU" with Slay Squad really fail to impress in every element that you could be disappointed in. - Aden Seelbinder

Certified Lover Boy by Drake - Review

May 3, 2026 12:19 AM

Drake has been one of those artists I’m very in the middle with. From what I’ve heard so far in his discography, it’s been fine. $ome $exy $ongs 4 U was not a very good project, just mostly boring more than anything. Views was a bloated mess with terrible lyrics but some good singing moments. For All The Dogs was an overhated album but still isn’t the best. It’s got some of Drake’s best writing (in his new era) and some of Drake’s worst. Finally, Nothing Was The Same is Drakes best project so far. Its production, its singing, his writing, the features, everything was great about it. The only thing bad about it is some songs aren’t memorable.

"are you lonely?" by Shteppi - REVIEW

May 2, 2026 12:08 PM

      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

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

May 3, 2026 12:33 AM

      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
