The latest joint project from Apollo Brown featuring Joell Ortiz is a respectable effort in essential East coast hip-hop although it stays strictly within the lines.

Check out some of this past weeks most talked about and interesting film trailers like Avengers: Endgame, Artemis Fowl, Mary Queen of Scots, Captain Marvel, Brightburn, and more.
'DiCaprio 2' is a technically impressive project that shows off J.I.D's deep lyrical arsenal, and has him clearly poised for stardom - just not quite yet.
November had a ton of great new albums and music videos from the likes of Meek Mill, The 1975, Ariana Grande, and Hozier; and it also featured some interesting trailers for The Lion King, POKÉMON Detective Pikachu, and ROMA. We've highlighted some of the best drops over the month and now we're ready to crown the best album, movie trailer, and music video.
Lil Baby keeps things the exact same for what is essentially 'Harder Than Ever 1.5'; enjoyable but inconsequential.
The Diplomats made a much stronger return than I ever expected they were capable of and while they do play things a bit too safe, they manage to capture some of that magic that made them such a unique movement back in the early 2000s.
Metro Boomin's latest, while technically competent, is a sluggish affair that doesn't live up to his past or pave a clear way forward. A mixed bag of mundane.
While there's no way that this was the exact vision Lil Peep had for this project, they still did a good job of highlighting the immense talent and potential he had as an artist that could blur genre lines and be the face of this new "emo rap" wave.
Check out some of this past weeks most talked about and interesting film trailers like Toy Story 4, The Lion King, Dumbo, POKÉMON Detective Pikachu, The Lego Movie 2, The Beach Bum, and more.
Check out some of the past weeks' most talked about and interesting music videos from Alessia Cara, Hozier, Gucci Mane, Asher Roth, Marshmello, Ellie Goulding, and more.
Joji showed surprising amount of skill and understanding in the R&B/neo-soul realm and left his own unique stamp on the genre in unexpected ways. An overall enjoyable listen with more highs than lows.
We're back and discussing a lot of news happening in and around music like Kanye postponing Yandhi once again, Missy Elliott preparing her return to music, little known band, Threatin, pulling one the greatest dupes in rock history, and more. Then we discuss if we feel some type of way about Ariana Grande's now #1 hit, "thank u, next", Stan Lee's impact on hip-hop, and 15 years of The Black Album and it possibly being Jay-Z's best/most impactful album out of his whole discography. We close things out by breaking down recent album releases and the new music we can expect over the next couple of weeks.
Check out some of the past weeks' most talked about and interesting music videos from Teyana Taylor, Meek Mill, Swizz Beatz, Russ, Avril Lavigne, and more.
Check out some of the past weeks' most talked about and interesting music videos from Jorja Smith, Sean Paul, Eminem, J.I.D, Kodak Black, Wisin & Yandel, and more.
Jaden Smith is still firmly in the lane he created for himself with 'SYRE' and doesn't show a lot of improvement or growth since then but it's still solid music despite it lacking any 'wow' moments.
While not perfect, Meek Mill does live up to the hype and manages to balance his usual bangers with his new found social awareness. It all feels authentic and makes 'Championships' his most impactful album yet.
Check out some of the past weeks' most talked about and interesting music videos from Ariana Grande, Mark Ronson, Nicki Minaj, Travis Scott, Alessia Cara, and more.
While not as realized or surprising as Kendrick's 'Black Panther' album, Mike WiLL Made-It still delivers a largely enjoyable album that will surely push more collaborations between Hollywood and hip-hop.
'DUMMY BOY' is a convoluted collection of singles solely aimed for the charts, and while there are few moments that may stick with you, they're about as shallow as the caricature of 6IX9INE himself.
Trippie Redd's latest is a surprisingly solid project that shows an impressive amount of growth from just a few months ago. This is probably his most fully realized one yet.
Check out some of the past weeks' most talked about and interesting music videos from Jaden Smith, Kodak Black, David Guetta, Steve Aoki, Quavo, A$AP Rocky, and more.
After a lengthy hiatus, Say Lou Lou have returned with a hauntingly beautiful album that's about as cinematic as any album I've ever heard.
Khalid's latest is more of a sidestep than a leap forward and although he shows some maturation and still can create generally enjoyable music, it all feels rather inconsequential.
Vince Staples' latest shows full love to west coast hip-hop and although extremely short, it delivers fully on its concept and gives us what would have been some fantastic summertime tunes. Great music nonetheless and a welcome return to his foundations.
