Three years ago, I reviewed Alessia Cara’s debut album, Know–It–All. In a few words, the album was a beautiful, albeit youthful, project. I said that Cara still had room to grow, but she made an amazing debut on the landscape of music. This is the case with many young artists, as even Nas still had […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: Anderson .Paak and J. Cole Collab on Trippy
Anderson .Paak is dope. J. Cole is dope. I could leave it at that and just say “support dope music in all its forms” and watch as this post does numbers on name recognition alone.
