Blank Face LP never quite reaches those lofty expectations surrounding it and it starts to drag a little towards the end but it's a more than worthy addition to anyone's discography. It's dark and menacing, with some killer production and that signature Q personality. You have to think this is what he was aiming for when he first made Habits and Contradictions.
SremmLife 2 isn't anything groundbreaking. If you've heard any hip-hop from Atlanta within the last few years, then you know what you're getting into. When it works, it provides some good turn up music.
Stoned On Ocean EP is the tried and true formula we've been hearing for the past couple of years. The laid back, soulful production and raps still sound great, but it might be time to shake things up a bit.
Summertime Shootout 2 may not be Fabolous's best mixtape, but it's still a strong offering full of his vintage punchlines and topical references. Still waiting for him to 'level up' as he says frequently though.
No, My Name is JEFFERY is more of the same from Young Thug. While the production isn't terrible, it's just nothing we haven't heard before, and better. Making his inability to say anything worthwhile or coherent stand out even more.
Anything But Words was an unexpected collaboration between two NY icons in Paul Banks of Interpol and RZA of Wu-Tang. While sonically everything sounds great, it's just too formulaic and pop leaning for it's own good. A missed opportunity on something that could have been a dark, gritty spectacle.
The Sun's Tirade is another notch in TDE's belt. Full of laid back, soulful vibes interspersed with humanizing flows about Rashad's struggles with addiction and depression make for one of the best releases of the year.
Atrocity Exhibition is a manic trip down to the darkest corners of Danny Brown's mind, full of paranoia, anxiety, and regret. He's the punk rock of hip-hop and it's a refreshing sound unlike any other.

Everybody Looking is everything you want from a Gucci Mane album. Hard beats, personality, and trap talk. Love him or hate him, Guwop back!
I Told You shows Tory's immense talent. Great production, great flows, and great vocals make it a very good major debut. Next time however, he should do more to differentiate himself from the 'others' out there.
Telefone is a refreshing departure from the typical hip-hop fare. The serious subject matter, jazz, soul, and gospel infused production paired with Noname's unique delivery make for something special.
The Lost Flash Drive is pure vintage fire from G-Unit. Classic Unit production and verbal assaults. Maybe a little too "classic" at times, but "Set the Pick" alone shows why they were so loved.
Prima Donna EP has Vince experimenting with different production while still delivering the same in your face lyrics about the gangster lifestyle and social struggles with a matter of factness that's refreshing. It's not perfect, but it's different than almost anything else you'll hear out there and it shows Vince's supreme confidence in his craft.
Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight really shows off Travi$'s immense diversity and ability to create vibe upon vibe. It might be a little light on substance but the sheer style more than makes up for it.
Bad Boy Records has been at it for 20+ years and their recent outpouring of nostalgia inducing collections and concerts has left me wondering about what could've, should've, and would've been Bad Boy Records. If it wasn't for some untimely losses, poor signings, and the rise of Sean Combs as a star, they'd go down as the greatest "urban" label ever.
1992 is a refreshing change up from The Game. Almost no features and limited name dropping. Not all the samples are put to proper use, but this may be bar-for-bar his best album in years.
