SUMMER WALKER REVEALS DEBUT ALBUM "OVER IT"

SUMMER WALKER REVEALS DEBUT ALBUM “OVER IT”

In a white durag with pink eyeshadow, on a pink phone and surrounded by a pink room, Summer Walker is pictured on her album cover. The sentiment is unbothered, and she knows exactly what she’s about to say.

Entitled Over It, Summer Walker’s latest album is composed of 18 tracks, making us think it’d take a while to feel that way. Walker uses the lengthy tracklist to fully express her emotion, her…

ALBUM REVIEW: KANYE WEST "THE COLLEGE DROPOUT"

ALBUM REVIEW: KANYE WEST “THE COLLEGE DROPOUT”

HE PAVED HIS WAVE WITHOUT AN UNANIMOUS DECISION

The College Dropout by Kanye West was the first hip-hop album I ever owned. My dad bought me a clean version from Wal-Mart. Funny story, I attended the Boys & Girls Club in middle school. I was 12 years old and I vividly remember telling Daniel, the basketball coach, that Kanye West couldn’t rap, LOL. I was young and naïve. I told him this…

ALBUM REVIEW: BRYSON TILLER "TRUE TO SELF"

ALBUM REVIEW: BRYSON TILLER “TRUE TO SELF”

HE PAVED HIS OWN LANE BY STAYING “TRUE TO SELF”

From his genre-shifting introductory album, TrapSoul many felt his sophomore album True To Self did not live up to the expectation, hype and anticipation as his debut. As much shit as people gave Bryson Tiller for this album, I just don’t understand because True To Self is a decent album. Critics alike must understand that Bryson Tiller’sinitial…

REVIEW: WIZKID's BREAK OUT RECORD "OJUELEGBA"

REVIEW: WIZKID’s BREAK OUT RECORD “OJUELEGBA”

Being a 1st generation Nigerian in America, I overcame a lot growing up. My parents always enforced education. My dad stressed that education is the key to a better life. In school, I was always an overachiever due to me wanting to excel and make my parents proud. I did not fit in at grade school. Books, drawing, and music were my escape. I could not relate to kids in grade school because my…

WHILE WE WAIT: KEHLANI'S EMOTIONAL NEW ALBUM

WHILE WE WAIT: KEHLANI’S EMOTIONAL NEW ALBUM

While We Wait, Kehlani’s latest release, shows her vocals like dripping honey, spilling truth.

The album is an experience piece on lessons learned, and shows that she’s matured on this album, her fourth. She experiments with hip-hop, rap, and pop throughout the album, but it’s centered on R&B: a genre that works as a conduit for the sort of uplifting blues she’s singing. 

Kehlani is…
