August Alsina has made a return on the music scene with his new track ” Wouldn’t Leave“. This has been August first track since last year single ” Lonely“, because of his well-known drama with Def Jam not releasing his music. In this new track August actually samples if not puts his own twist to Kanye West track ” Wouldn’t Leave” which most YE fans can pick up on from the very beginning. It still holds the same emotional weight as the original and keeps the PND melodic tune. August talks about his relationship with a women and how she should move on ” The way you stay down can’t make your heart a playground, don’t look back just keep moving forward” This line alone is going to help a lot of people in toxic relationships.
This is an amazing thing for August to drop some music especially with all the things he has been dealing with from his liver disease to label problems. I’m happy he is back and I hope we will continue hearing steady music from the R&B Lousisana talent. Check out the video down below for his new track.
The Travis Scott effect is still the wave for many artist looking for a club record. This track has Travis written all over it from production, flow and hook. Juicy J still lets us know that this is his record by coming in at the end riding the beat as you expect from a vet. The vet starts his verse with saying fuck drugs ” Niggas keep dyin, fuck Xanax” then proceed to flex on niggas “I anit even gotta rap nigga im set, Jet to a check”. This is a solid track for both parties and you should be hearing it in a club near you soon.
The past year and a half collab projects have been kinda trendy whether its two famous artist working together or an artist and a producer working together. Some have done amazing while others have flopped. This got me thinking which collab would take it all in a tourmant? Between Future and Young Thug ” Super Slimey”, Travis Scott and Quavo ” Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho”, Kanye West and Kid Cudi ” Kids See Ghosts”, 21 Savage, Offset & Metro Boomin ” Without Warning”, with several others that I will touch upon in other post.
All of these collab albums were met with positive and negative reviews. Future and Young Thug surprise album was want many people wanted but this album is not what we asked for. On ” Super Slimey” Future and Thug coexistent on it but they aren’t at their peak. This album was a syrupy Auto-tune, expensive timepieces, and double cups talk. To me after a while it started to sound like they put very little work in making it.
Travis Scott & Quavo probably had the best album, but it wasnt the best they could do. This album is what you expect from two of the most influencing artist in the game right now. The beats were amazing the ad-lib slapped on every track and thee flows were amazing. But the lyrics left a lot to be desired and many times it felt like Travis was taking a backseat to Quavo whether that was planned or not remains to be the question. In all it was a decent collab album but it could have been way better.
Without Warning is a Zone 6 album for sure. The dark nature with 21 savage rapping about guns and having people mommy crying to Offset telling people he the boogie man in real life, kinda lets you in on what the trenches out there are like. But they did give us the Ric Flair drip we all desperately needed. This album has very little replay value but it was good for the moment.
Now “Kids see Ghost” is the album most of need because who doesn’t relive a little bit of stress when they hear Kid Cudi humming. The album kinda brought Kid Cudi back onto the scene and with Ye producing it was a match made in heaven. The bars slapped, the beats slapped, the flow slaps, but the only problem is, it’s a mood album. That means you have to be in certain kind of mood aka( depressed or anxiety going crazy) for you to really be in tune with the vibe. This album has replay value but you can’t listen to it everyday, unless your life is a wreck.
Theres many collab albums that i havent touched upon and many coming out this year that we are excited for. But in all the recent and most notable ones leave a lot to be desired. Let me know your thoughts on these albums, which ones your enticed to see happening and which ones you want to happen.
Good artist come around every few years, but Goat status artist are once in a generation and even they have an expiration date. Wayne has shown that he is the exception to that rule after listening to Carter 5.
This is the album we needed not because it’s the first Wayne album in years, not because of the legal battle over the album, but because it’s the album that bridges old heads and new heads together. Wayne does an amazing job of giving everybody what they want from lyrics, flow, beats,and features which include the late XXXTentacion, Travis Scott, Kendrick Lamar, Sosamann, Nicki Minaj, Snoop Dogg, Ashanti, and his very own daughter ReginaeCarter. The album is laced with 23 tracks but you don’t realize it’s that long because the vet knows how to make the album flow. The Carter 5 is pleasing to ears of every age.
Old heads if you looking for bars and story telling at its finest listen to tracks ” Cant Be Broken“, “Mona Lisa“( which has two goats going back and forth), “Open Letter” and “Dope N****z” and that’s not even the half for you old heads. Now the new age hip-hop heads he got tracks for you guys too. X fans can bump ” Dont Cry” if they wanna hear some good harmonize. La flame fans can bump to “Let It Fly“, Barb’s can listen to ” Dark Side Of TheMoon” that gives you singing Nicki and Wayne. Even his daughter held her own on her track “Famous” flexing her vocal skills. Swizz Beats even comes through to get my New York people shoulders moving with the ” Uproar” track. Wayne did exactly what he was supposed to do, show us why he is the goat and should always be respected and never questioned.
In all this definitely has to in contention for album of the year. You get old Wayne and new Wayne battling it out with some new school flows and people. Wayne is a top 10 rapper of all time and that’s no cap. Not many rappers can go through what he’s been through, take a hiatus like he did and still deliver the project he did. Wayne has single-handedly connected old and new school hip-hop without destroying his integrity. Please raise your lighter and flick them one time for Mr. Carter and Carter 5.

In the trailer it shows that Adonis has been challenged against the son of the person who killed his father. His family tells him the fight isn’t worth it but Adonis does not want to hear it. Rocky tells him Drago was raised in hate and Adonis has nothing to prove. But what would you do if the family that killed your father comes calling? exactly he takes the fight not because he wants to but because he has to. Adonis states” I’m trying to rewrite history”. Adonis girlfriend played by Tessa Thompson asked ” You don’t think you got a validation?” This movie is going to be about Adonis getting his revenge for his father, but also understand what and who exactly is he fighting for. Check out both the trailers below, as the movie will be coming out this fall. Are you guys hype for this movie yet?
