Logic has returned with his zealous, boom-bap hybrid “Young Sinatra IV” — a tribute to the artists who nurtured his passion for rap.
Logic has returned with his zealous, boom-bap hybrid “Young Sinatra IV” — a tribute to the artists who nurtured his passion for rap.
“Trench” is an epic return for Twenty One Pilots — the band expands its sound and poetic lyrics without fear of “selling out” to mainstream media.
This was an album to shamelessly boast raw talent and establish Lil Wayne as one of the greatest to ever get on the mic.
Instrumentally, Brockhampton hasn’t just evolved, it’s gone completely off the wall.
Eminem decided that in “Kamikaze,” instead of improving as an artist, he would be better off making straw men out of his critics.
While his message is admirable, his corny lyrics turn a powerful song into something that belongs in an after-school special.
“Invasion of Privacy” is funny, fierce, loud-mouthed and in-your-face.
“Culture II” is a one hour and 45 minute long behemoth that drags on endlessly. The album overindulges on uninspired lyrics and identical songs.

While he demonstrates some songwriting skill, on this album it’s pretty clear that music is just his side hustle.
