Breezy is out the bing and can now reap the benefits of this certified banger. One of 2014’s biggest hits. Welcome back, Chris.—YN
Aubrey adds his magic touch to Weezy’s comeback smash. Tha Carter V on the way. The hype is real.—YN
Cash rules everything around this ATL collabo. Tha Kang and the new sensation surprisingly make a worthy duo. Word to UGK.—YN
Ok the people proved us wrong. Wiz got another one. And the remix is tough too. Boo!—YN
One hit wonder courtesy of the kid from Toronto? Nah, shawty. These young ATL MCs continue to impact our culture with innovative flows and party anthems like “Fight Night”. Who’s your favorite rap group? Recognize and realize that Offset, Quavo and Takeoff got now.
While we impatiently wait for their Just Blaze exec-produced second Shady LP, the four MCs (Budden, Royce, Crooked I, & Joell) remind us what true lyricism and rhyme wizardry is all about on hardcore bangers like “Say Dat Then”. The bars are great so keep the faith.—YN
Proving us wrong with the first single from his upcoming Blacc Hollywood wasn’t enough, Wiz dropped a freebie with close to 30 tracks. Geesh. Not without some downs, “Comb Over” and the Ty Dolla $ign-assisted “Banger” ensure we don’t lose our high. Kudos, Khalifa.—YN
Tity Boi has accumulated a helluva catalogue of hits. So it was cool to see him return to his underground roots. This collection is strictly for the d boys and pardon Dos for flexin on his baby mama. Chainz is for the children.—YN
Like his occasional rhyme partner, Lil Bibby, Herb is a young Chitown MC whose deep voice sounds way beyond his years. But Welcome To Fazoland pleases the ears with soulful compositions like “Fight Or Flight”. Nicki knows. Dude from Chiraq is the real deal.—YN
Man, this drop from Masspike Miles is seriously smooth from start to finish. The Road Less Traveled totally delivers on that signature R&B vibe, and the production choices across these tracks are just insane. It honestly feels more complete than a lot of full-length albums out right now. Tracks like "Devoted" with Bun B and the title track hit different when you are just cruising around the city late at night. If you are heading out to grab the physical copy or hitting up a late-night listening session across town, trying to flag down reliable taxi services can sometimes be a real hassle, so planning ahead definitely saves the mood. Overall, this project proves why he is such a vital part of the Maybach crew. Definitely keep this one on repeat for a while.
