Sometimes success isn’t satisfying. J.Cole crafted his second album Born Sinner to right the wrongs of his Cole World: Sideline Story 2011 debut. No more stop-and-go single releases and pleading with Roc Nation for a release date, Jermaine’s got gold and platinum plaques on the wall which gave him the opportunity to do things his own way this time around.
Tyler, The Creator’s *Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale* is pure chaos in the best way. Tracks hit hard, playful, and introspective, reminding me of chilling at Sobha Skyparks, just vibing with the sunset. This album’s a perfect mix of fun and depth—Tyler nailed it.
