Russ may just be the most hated man in hip-hop, at least the most hated on, by both his peers and internet trolls alike. A lot of that negative energy has been self-inflicted due to many of his unpopular opinions, which he voices loudly and frequently. But, the hate he’s received has never matched the quality of music that he actually puts out. ZOO is full of everything that makes actually hating on the guy so hard to do – strong beats, infectious melodies, and above average rhymes. He just knows how to make good music and the fact that the large majority is done in-house or entirely by himself is that much more impressive. Yes, it’s still full of self-aggrandizing lyrics but in far fewer doses this time; a large majority of his focus is aimed at his peers and the ‘fakeness’ in the rap game. It’s hard to argue against the points he’s making, even if you don’t like that HE’S the one making them. There are parts that drag towards the end and it would’ve been a stronger whole if it was about 3 songs less, but overall ZOO is his best project yet and he continues to show why he’s a real threat in hip-hop despite the hate saying otherwise.

Trippie Redd - LIFE'S A TRIP | Reactions | LIVING LIFE FEARLESS
I'll give Trippie Redd credit for crafting some genuinely compelling stuff on 'LIFE'S A TRIP' that shows there's more to him than meets the eye. That soundcloud sound still isn't my forte but LIFE'S A TRIP is one of the better offering out of this wave.

Travis Scott - ASTROWORLD | Reactions | LIVING LIFE FEARLESS
Travis Scott finally put together all of the pieces of his immense talent and crafted his most realized project yet. 'ASTROWORLD' is a complete experience from front to back that transports you to a world all of Scott's own making, and I don't plan on leaving anytime soon.

KYLE - Light of Mine Reaction | Reactions | LIVING LIFE FEARLESS
KYLE may not fit the stereotypical rapper aesthetic, but he is a technically gifted lyricist and the beats are undeniably catchy. At times the overwhelming positivity can become a bit sickening, like eating too much candy, but he knows his lane and he sticks to it with impressive focus. For what he sets out to do, "Light of Mine" is an impressive debut.

Rappers takin’ bribes, they be shavin’ points
I see the game from every angle, I be playin’ point
I be playin’ coach, I be playin’ owner
I be playin’ fan, and I play promoter
Gettin’ great exposure from all the hate, y’all are hustling backwards

– “Kill Them All”
