Compilation – Focus Hip Hop: Recent Episodes
None
This compilation was released on October 22nd this year. It was curated by a record store owner in Ohio named Z. Younk, who I became acquainted with through his contributions to albumoftheyear.org. The name of his record store is Fat Hippy Records and I think it’s located in Brookfield, Ohio. All of the proceeds from […]
Don’t sleep on this new compilation of VEGA.‘s best songs. It was curated by one of the smartest, funniest, and most sexiest individuals in our community. I believe his name is OG NICK MARSH. That’s right. It’s me. I’m writing about something I made and telling you not to sleep on it. I’m not gonna […]
This updated version of Dreamville Records’ 2019 GRAMMY nominated compilation, Revenge of the Dreamers III, was released on January 16th this year, and I figured I’d give my opinion of the 12 new tracks that were added. I did a similar thing with Young Thug’s “Deluxe” version of So Much Fun; I might start doing […]
This album was released on July 5th this year. Dreamville is currently one of the most popular record labels in Hip Hop right now, and it’s mostly because of J. Cole & J.I.D. I don’t think anyone on the label is bad at all, but the only artists on the label that really excite me […]
This album was released on July 19th this year. I don’t think anyone could ever call me a stan of any artist. However, if someone was going to argue that I was a stan of anyone, it’d most likely be Nas. I’m one of the few people that actually liked NASIR, and I don’t even […]
Don’t sleep on this instrumental album from K-Murdock. It’s the first album that he dropped this year, but, as of October 24th, he’s released 7 installments in this series. This one was released on July 31st this year. Before I checked this project out, the only time I’d ever heard any production from K-Murdock was […]
This album was released on June 21st this year. As you can probably surmise from the title, it’s a compilation of singles that were formerly exclusive to Mega Ran’s Patreon supporters. If I didn’t make it clear enough in my review of The Dewey Decibel System, I’m a pretty big fan of Mega Ran. I […]
This EP was released on June 3rd this year. As the title clearly indicates, it’s the soundtrack to Open Mike Eagle’s TV show with Baron Vaughn on Comedy Central. I’ve never seen a full episode of the show, but I’m pretty sure it’s just a typical sketch show with a little bit of standup and […]
This album was released on May 17th this year. I have to be honest; I really was not looking forward to this project. I’ve enjoyed music from Keith Murray in the past, but I’d obviously be lying if I said he was an artist whose music I get excited for, especially in 2019. I haven’t […]
This album was released on October 7th in 1997. It’s the soundtrack to the film Gang Related, which I posted my review for last Monday. Funnily enough, I was actually supposed to review this project like a year or two ago. Back when I had an active Patreon page, one of my supporters asked me […]
Don’t sleep on this new compilation from Rav. If you follow him, you may be aware of the b-sides collections he’s been dropping throughout the years. He’s dropped 7 of them, and he compiled his favorite tracks from each of them onto this project. There are also a few previously unreleased songs on this compilation […]
This album was released on August 17th this year. It’s a compilation from artists on Young Thug’s YSL Records. There are only two solo tracks from him. Believe it or not, this will be the tenth project I’ve reviewed from Young Thug since starting with The Barter VI in 2015. So far the only project […]
