Reviews / Album
Album Review: Illy - Bring It Back
He has moments of real transcendence but Bring It Back doesn’t fully deliver on its promise or its creator’s talent.
Reviews / Album
Album Review: Seth Sentry - This Was Tomorrow
This is a work that lives or dies on the content of Seth’s character.

Album Review: 1/6 - Electronic Mail
All told, this is a mild disappointment.
Reviews / Album
Album Review: JJ Doom - Key To The Kuffs
This is the album of a man who seems destined never to reach the greatness for which he once seemed destined. Spare a thought for JJ.

Album Review: Rick Ross - God Forgives, I Don’t
Most disappointing is the absence of a big banger for us to hang onto, or a gritty track about the drug game.
Reviews / Album
Album Review: Aesop Rock - Skelethon
Aesop Rock albums have always been flabby and the same is true here.
Reviews / Album
Album Review: Maundz - Zero
At large Maundz is, as he claims, a “menace on the mic”. Engaging work.

Album Review: Frank Ocean - Channel ORANGE
This is an immersive work. Complete, it ranges from neat little pop songs to gentle thinkpieces.

Album Review: Dan Le Sac - Space Between The Words
This album, we hoped, would see Le Sac freed from the tyranny of his untalented colleague. Once free, Le Sac would surely soar towards the heavens. No. Not so.

Album Review: Spaceghostpurrp - Mysterious Phonk: The Chronicles Of SpaceGhostPurrp
SpaceGhostPurrp is boring; he’s a technically so-so rapper with very little charisma who is attracted to down tempo, subdued instrumentals.

Album Review: Maggot Mouf & Sammy Scissors - Runnin With Scissors
Maggot and Sammy will spit in your face, steal your fancy sneakers and run off quick as a flash – all without spilling a drop from their longnecks.

Album Review: BOB - Strange Clouds
B.O.B. seems to stumble from error to error. But seemingly, despite this, few are as successful.
