“The world is infested….so here’s something raw to listen to while you deal with it all.” ~Killer Mike & El-P

I first stumbled on #JadeNovah when I watched her 'Thanksgiving w/ Beyonce' comedy skit imitating Beyoncé, Toni Braxton and Kim K. and I remember thinking to myself, "damn, that girl can blow AND she's genuinely funny."

I'm pleasantly surprised by how solid 'Changes', #JustinBieber's fifth studio album, is. Justin's falsetto is lovely to listen to on any given day and his vocal performance is sincere and mature.

There's a new rap sheriff in town and his name is #Casanova. And he's so Brooklyn.

My obsession with #AfroB is intense. All hail the Afro King! The End.

We've been sleeping on Young M.A. It's time to wake TF up.

I've been a low-key fan of Mexican-American artist #BeckyG since she dropped her "Becky from The Block" single & video in 2013, which was a cover of J-Lo's 2003 single "Jenny from the Block." 81.5 million views later...

#PostMalone fascinates me because he does not have a linear narrative. His metal-head-gang-gang-I'd beat that bitch wit a bat-look has thrown me for several loops since he made his debut in 2016. I love and loathe it equally and those conflicting emotions pique my curiosity to no end.

I'm late AF to this party but I am delighted to have arrived...finally. I got wind of #Rosalía at this year's VMA Awards, where she put on a noteworthy performance that had me rewinding and watching again just to make sure I saw wtf I saw.

I stumbled on this album like a thief in the night finding an extra gem when I only expected to find one. Last time I felt this exact way about a ballad album was when I found Kenneth Whalum's, Broken Land.

From the album cover, to the track-list, the dope & worthy features, lyrical content and overall musical vibe...this album is saying something worth listening to with a keen ear.

Neon Brown by #VelvetNegroni makes me feel like I popped a pill and took a trippy-trap ride. And next week I'll most likely be back for more.

"Eve," Rapsody's third album has been in heavy rotation since it dropped last Friday, so much so, thanks to its masterful and flawless execution, that it has solidified its place in my music library (and spirit) fo' life!

The production is so tight on this album I can't even hate on it. It definitely succeeded in maintaining that classic Rick Ro$$ sound that I've grown to know and respect.

It's no secret that Tori Kelly can saaaaaang! I've been a fan of her vocals since day numeral uno...before she became "TK."

Thank you, Queen B, for this majestic collection of music! #thelionqueen #disney #thelionkingthegift #tobeyounggiftedandblack

Introducing modern day #AlanisMorrissette with a #willow twist; at least that's the vibe I gathered after listening to this little gem several times.

Nas' #thelosttapes2 album is a manifesto for staying true to your work, your word, your purpose AND I am here for all that!
