I found this one, hilariously enough, while perusing through SubmitHub for some places to send out “Se Roquel” to. See how the world works, guys? You look out for yourself, but because altruism is a thing, you stumble upon something dope as hell along the way. So, anyway, before this gets too “hey, I make music […]
Read moreRe-Revisiting Kiss Land
A few weeks after The Weeknd’s Kiss Land dropped in 2013, I gave it a mini-review on the site. Simply put, I liked it, but felt it was too much like his mixtapes while not being too much like his mixtapes. In other words, it was an okay album that had some misguided moments which kept […]
Read moreSpeed on the Beat Reviews: @Drake’s Views
“Is it Drake’s magnum opus?” “It it the mansplaining version of Lemonade?” “Is it really trash that people hyping up because it’s Drake?” “Is it just trash overall?

Now, that’s what you call clickbait. In the past couple weeks, we’ve gotten two new Weeknd tracks. One, “The Hills,” is dark, haunting, atmospheric, drug-addled “fuck deez hoes” amazement. The accompanying video is a clusterbomb of imagery, fueled (no pun intended) by a car catching on fire and Weeknd walking away, all Sephiroth-into-the-fire style, but in […]
Read more300 Words or Less Review: @Ciara – Jackie
Review after the jump. On the heels of her latest single, “I Bet,” and her publicized breakup with Future–and potential rebound in Russell Wilson (#IWishICared)–Ciara returns to the music scene after with Jackie. The album starts off pretty dramatically, and then delves into what you’d expect from Ciara. We’re given bouncy beats, sexual energy out the […]
