Mike Melinoe starts out his latest project with a lot of bass, a little bit of oral, and menacing lyricism. A hell of a way to start, yes, but it sets up what unfolds over the rest of the 25-minute project, Oo. On this one, we find Mike battling against himself and others for a […]

As mentioned in my review of “I Ain’t Got Time!,” I wasn’t that big of a fan of Tyler, The Creator’s Cherry Bomb album.
