Mike Melinoe teams up with Airospace for this new trippy track. I enjoyed it, mostly because of the way Melinoe doesn’t really flow onto the beat. Instead, he allows it to paint a canvas for his off-kilter thoughts to explode upon. Airospace’s second verse is pretty fire as well, as it keeps that same sort […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @MikeMelinoe – Navigation
Mike Melinoe returns with a new track that’s a bit more freeform than some of his previous efforts. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, as it allows for a call-and-response throughout the track. Additionally, the AHMD production lends well for the wise sage vibes I feel Melinoe’s going for on this one. Check out the […]

It’s not often I’ll rewind a track a few times in a row…unless I rock with it that much. So, this new Cadence Weapon track? It’s definitely a run-that-back sort of track.

In May of this year, Chance The Rapper released the critically-acclaimed Coloring Book. Meanwhile, I’ll be honest, my reception of it was that it was a good CD, but not the GAWD ALBUM GOAT PROJECT that some, more established, writers and sites were making it out to be. So, for the next six months, I […]

Back in 2011, Lil B released his “controversial” fifth album, a 12-track project called I’m Gay (I’m Happy). People were immediately ready to rip it a new one because, well, it’s an album called I’m Gay. After people put their machismo aside and checked it at the door, it was apparent that the album was […]
