DJ Khaled long awaited album “Father of Ashad”, is here and the first single to get a music video is none other than the track that shows Nipsey Hussle living for the last time. It was no mystery that Khaled and Nipsey were working together on music, but money wondered if we would see what they working on since the sudden pasting of Nipsey. But today Khaled blessed us with the video and I promise you that nostalgic feeling will hit especially after hearing Nipsey verse.
2019 has been very slow music wise. So far many expected Lil Uzi to release his long-anticipated album “Eternal Atake”, after getting released from his record label contract but it’s been quiet. Many people predicted that Dreamville would release there compilation album but yet again we were disappointed. That’s why Pnb Rock has and very well may end up with a top 5 album this year.
I’m not saying that because the music market has been slow so far, but his album wasn’t overshadowed by everybody else so it can stand out better. This is technical Pnb Rock debut album even though he released many projects prior and his last project “Catch These Vibes” he said was his debut but Atlantic thought different. On “Trapstar Turnt Popstar” Pnb gives you melodically, autotune singing and rapping style that many of his peers use such as Fetty Wap, A-Boogie, Lil Durk. This wave of rapping has the industry on fire right now because almost every up and coming artist sounds like this. So Fetty Wap and Pnb Rock had a major influence on the culture. Now back to the album, the original is laced with 18 tracks while the deluxe comes with an extra 5 tracks. Pnb has features from A Boogie, Tory Lanez, Lil Skies, Roddy Ricch, Youngboy, Lil Wayne, XXXTentacion, and Lil Durk.
Pnb caught a lot of hate for switching his style on his projects but fans will be highly impressed and satisfied with the sound of this album. The Intro track ” Dreamin” sets the tone of the album with Pnb switching between rapping and singer and starting the album off with a banger. Pnb ability to keep the balance between the two is what makes this album that much better. With tracks like “Penny Proud”, “Put You On”, “I Need More”, ” Now or Never 2.0″ are some examples on the album were exhibit that balance. Pnb Storytelling is an underrated ability of his and you realize that on tracks ” Middle Child”, “Nowadays”, “Take My Soul”, and “Evolved”, Pnb tells his come up story. Pnb could cut this album in half and split it between rap and R&B with mood music like ” Choosin”, “My Ex”, “How It Feels”, and “HMP”, give the album that vibe for the girls to get ready too.
This is a very solid project for Pnb Rock, A lot of the features fit perfectly with the track they’re on without outshining Pnb rock. The album has some songs that you have to be in the mood to listen too but for that reason, the project will age well. Pnb picked the perfect time to release his project being as new music so hard to come by currently. You can check out Trapstar turnt Popstar on all major media platforms.
Three years and three scrapped albums later we have SchoolboyQ new album “Crash Talk” and with that TDE is starting its summer run. Laced with 14 tracks with features coming from Travis Scott, Kid Cudi, Lil Baby, 21 Savage, Ty Dolla Sign, 6Lack and YG this is very different from his last album that had features all over.
This album gives you a different feeling than his previous one as you hear a more mature Schoolboy. Even the rollout was different as he delayed his release because of the tragic death of rapper Nipsey Hussle. On “Crash Talk” Q flexes his storytelling abilities on “Tales“, while also giving the G’d up Q on tracks “Gang Gang,” “Die With Em,” and “5200“.
But what’s most surprising about the album is how conscious Q has become especially about how his choices affect his daughter and he also talks about his mental health state. On track “Dangerous” Q talks of drug addiction and self-doubt with the help of Kid Cudi hummings( at this point Cudi’s humming is a cheat code). On “Crash” he talks of having to do better because of his daughter, while also kicking game to the youth about self-love, money desicons, and knowledge because one day one of them have to meet his daughter.
Q also comes through with an all west coast summer track on “Lies” with assists from TY and YG. This R&B track is sure to be played everywhere because catfishing and people lying are always prevalent in society today. Q also comes with chill car ride track in “Floating” that comes with a smooth 21 Savage verse. The last track “Attention” has Q paying his respects with some of the greats from Jay-Z. Nas, Dre, Alchemist, while also giving a backstory of himself.
This album is solid for Q, it shows how time has changed him to be more conscious of his self and how his choice affects the people around him. It is also good knowing that Q is in a better mental state that he has been in the previous years. If this is the sign that TDE is starting to make its presence felt again they are starting on a good note with this project. You can stream “Crash Talk” on all major media platforms.
Rico Nasty dropped her second mixtape under the Atlantic Records umbrella late last night. The mixtape is produced by Kenny Beats and some of the tracks on this things are crazy. The track “Hatin,” features a sample of “Dirt Off Your Shoulder” and it somehow works really well on its own, despite own iconic that beat is.
It’s a nice compact mixtape, coming in at just nine songs and 19 minutes total– perfect for her style. On a base level, this mixtape– at the very least– is an adrenaline shot to the ears. Kenny produced the hell out of this mixtape and deserves your attention.
Give the mixtape and let us know if you think it’s big fire or big trash. Follow us on IG and Twitter @SloppyVinyl to receive all updates on news and other content.
Kevin Abstract released his second studio album titled ARIZONA BABY. The record is his first solo effort in three years, and is produced by long time collaborator Romil Hemnani and Bleachers front man, Jack Antonoff.
Abstract released the album in experimental fashion– releasing three songs at a time each week, before rolling out the full length version. It’s a gigantic leap in quality all around for the 21-year old, L.A. based rapper. The record is a personal essay where Abstract reflects on his own sexuality and the effects its had his past, as well as his personal relationships with friends– most notably on the track “Corpus Christi,” where he divulges on the removal of former bandmate Ameer Vann.
The new album has revised versions of previously released tracks and features some members of Brockhampton. The new mixes and masters of the songs make the complete project flow very smoothly from front to back. While the tracks do deal with some more serious lyrics than a standard Brockhampton project, a good bulk of the songs are perfect for the summer.
Check out the album and let us know what you think. Give us a follow on social media @SloppyVinyl to get all our news and content.
Kevin Abstract released three more songs late last night in a collection that he calls Ghettobaby. Abstract announced last week that he was going to be releasing a series of three songs every Thursday for the rest of the month. He went on Twitter to explain that all the songs are apart of the same album and not just three separate EPs.
The new batch of songs, produced by Romil Hemnani and Jack Antonoff, signify a new era for the L.A. based rapper. Based off the three track sample alone, it is clear that Abstract has improved immensely from his first solo project. Collaborating with a super producer Jack Antonoff is a huge artistic leap for Abstract and indicates the broad range his music is capable of reaching. Abstract also clarified that this new solo venture will not get in the way of more Brockhampton music.
