Swizz Beatz came with one of the biggest suprises of the fall, an unexpectedly versatile collection of songs that brings out the best of each and every guest feature. He's still got it.

Check out some of this past weeks most talked about and interesting film trailers like Mowgli, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Head Full of Honey, Spies in Disguise, The Secret Life of Pets, and more.
For his first fully independent project in a while Action Bronson plays things surprisingly safe and outside of a few instances, he doesn't really deliver any 'wow' moments like we're used to.
'Beloved' is solid core NY hip-hop and while it is yet another non-essential collab, more Styles P is always a welcome thing.
Tory Lanez is an undeniable talent and he continues to put out extremely solid music but, it's still not all that compelling or particularly original.
October had a ton of great new albums and music videos from the likes of twenty one pilots, Daughters, Travis Scott, and Lil Wayne; and it also featured some interesting trailers for Vox Lux, Glass, and The Prodigy. 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.
Marilyn Narota is a mixed media and performance artist by way of Queens, NY and she sits down to talk about the role of formal art education, the importance of hair in her artwork, her online magazine, Artilade, which looks to combine art and literature, and much more.
Between Jeremih's strong vocals and Ty Dolla $ign's skills as a songwriter, the pair were able to craft one of the rare joint projects that's actually worth the effort.
Despite some cliche and well worn elements, 6LACK still delivers an enjoyable listen that shows he's capable of carving out his own lane in the crowded space of alternative R&B.
If you're already a fan of Mozzy then you'll fall right in with 'Gangland Landlord' and if you're not, then now's as good a time as any to check in.
While not as musically impressive as 'Tha Carter' or 'Tha Carter II', or as impactful as 'Tha Carter III', Lil Wayne's 'Tha Carter V' was still impressive, especially considering it's countless delays.
Reason's 'There You Have It' is yet another solid project from TDE, but he still needs to develop his own unique musical identity to really stand out as an artist.
Future & Juice WRLD is yet another collaboration that really has no reason for existing other than streaming numbers. A lifeless listen that doesn't bring out the best of either artist.
Check out some of the past weeks' most talked about and interesting music videos from Swizz Beatz, Sheck Wes, Khalid, Ariana Grande, Shawn Mendes, Lil Peep, Jennifer Lopez, and more.
T.I. has finally figured out how to bridge the gap between the old 'trap king' we loved and grew up with and the more socially charged side we've been getting in recent years. 'Dime Trap' is his best project in years and should not be slept on.
Takeoff's solo is substantially better than what we got from Quavo, but he still largely falls short of the immense hype surrounding him.
After first breaking onto the scene with his unique style some years back, MadeinTYO's long gestating debut is passable but about 2 or 3 years too late.
Check out some of the past weeks' most talked about and interesting music videos from Meek Mill, Tyga, Halsey, Carly Rae Jepsen, A$AP Rocky, and more.
We're back and we're joined by special guest Jaron Lamar Davis, who joins us to talk about the major changes headed to both Spotify and YouTube and the positive and negative effects they'll have on musicians, particularly independent ones. Then he talks about the response and what he's learned from the release of his debut album earlier in the year, the pros and cons of music schools, and what he's cooking up for his next effort. Lastly we talk about signs of depression and cries for help in hip-hop music and whether the onus is on fans to speak up and/or reach out when they hear it over and over again.
JMSN dives even further into his love and appreciation for traditional R&B and soul and has delivered maybe his best album yet.
At one point a solo Quavo project was something that we all thought we wanted, but now it's painfully apparent that it's something that we definitely don't need.
Sheck Wes has great charisma and personality for an artist but he's severely lacking on the musicianship side of things and a full project isn't something we needed from him.
Lil Baby & Gunna's latest is yet another collab project that does very little, if anything, to push either one of their careers forward. It's largely an unremarkable cash grab.
Check out some of this past weeks most talked about and interesting film trailers like Vox Lux, Bird Box, How to Train Your Dragon 2, The Prodigy, and more.
