REVIEW #8: If this is the Mixtape.. I can’t even begin to imagine what the album is going to sound like. Drake continues to prove why he is pivotal force in the current state of Hip Hop. Cash Money is falling apart and Drake does not shy away from the subject on this release. A truly superb mixtape. I feel dirty even calling this a mixtape, it flows like a album. I feel as if almost every hip hop head has a favorite on this album. The title even feels like a jab at Birdman (If You’re reading This It’s Too Late). I believe by 2016, Drake will be off of Cash Money and on to some other venture with wayne #review #musicreview  #2015music #rap #rapmusic #youngmoney #cashmoney #ymcmb #lilwayne #nickiminaj #birdman #drake #drizzy #hiphop #ifyourereadingthisitstoolate

REVIEW #7: I fucking hate Young Thug’s voice. Could this dude be anymore annoying? But he rides these beats so damn well. I love the minimalist production of most of the 13 tracks. Some Tracks are totally skip worthy. But the opener Constantly Hating is just so fun. Drive around with the windows down music. Even with Birdmans lame verse soiling the track a bit. There are flaws here. But if you’re listening to Young Thug for some serious and deep content you’re not looking in the right place. #review #musicreview #2015music #rap #rapmusic #youngthug #barter6 #cashmoney #birdman

REVIEW #6: Lower Dens latest release, Escape From Evil is just fun. It’s a mix of perfect make out jams and barbecue chill out anthems. Definitely something special and worthy of a listen #review #musicreview #2015music #thesoursound #alternative #indie #newmusic #lowerdens #escapefromevil

REVIEW #5: I had not heard of #Torres until #Sprinter and I feel pretty stupid for having slept on her material. It’s an album that definitely deserves more than one listen. It’s very bleak and depressing, so I think I made the mistake of listening to this driving around on a sunny Saturday morning. Its rainy weather music. I wish the album was longer and maintained the intensity of the first few tracks all the way through the entire project. #review #musicreview #2015music #thesoursound #alternative #indie #newmusic

REVIEW #4: If there is one album I can’t put down and keep finding myself constantly returning to this year so far is Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp A Butterfly. I can’t even begin to express how beautiful this album is. The conversation of #GoodKidMaadCity vs #ToPimpAButterfly keeps popping up and I think that is truly awesome. I did not think Kendrick would be able to top Good Kid. But I personally see myself connecting with TPAB more so than Good Kid.. It’s the most honest and direct album I’ve heard from a hip hop artist since.. well Good Kid Maad City. With Kanye West being the most anticipated up and coming hip hop release of 2015 next to Drake’s Views From The 6th. Both MC’s have some stiff competition going against Kendrick’s release. #review #musicreview #2015music #thesoursound #kendricklamar #kdot #hiphop #newhop #rap #rapmusic #drake #kanyewest #hoodpolitics #newmusic

REVIEW #3: Having followed A$AP Rockys career since his Purple Haze music video debuted back in 2011, its been an interesting ride watching the Harlem MC achieve the level of success he has in recent years. Rocky’s recent out is his follow up to 2012’s LongLiveA$AP. An album I felt suffered from an inflated track list and loaded with pointless features (Santogold? why.) Now Rocky is back with A.L.L.A (At.Long.Last.A$AP) and it suffers from some of the same issues I mentioned above. But these features feel a bit more rounded. It’s nice to hear Mos Def on a new track and I think I would have loved the Kanye / Rocky collaboration more if it was 2011. Rocky continues to distance himself from the southern screwed sound of his classic 2011 mixtape LiveLoveA$AP. Which is a shame cause its a sound I’d love to hear Rocky retreat to at some point in his career. All in all A.L.L.A is not a bad album and definitely an improvement from his last output. I’m curious to as where Rocky will go after this release #review #musicreview #2015music #thesoursound #asaprocky #atlonglastasap #longliveasap #liveloveasap #hiphop #newhiphop #rap #rapmusic #asapyams #ripasapyams #asapferg #asapnast #asapmob #kanyewest #mosdef #santogold #lordprettyflackojodye2 #newmusic
