Shaunna NelsonPublished 7 years ago in BeatReview: Joji — 'In Tongues'
Here is a link to the full visual of In Tongues. In Tongues by Joji is extremely calm and flows through your ears like a river of heartbreaking peace. Through out the whole EP he uses soft vocals that come second to the beat and follow it in tone as to not overpower it. I found it very pleasing because unlike most music today he appreciates that beat and what it adds to the experience. The track list blends together very well; there is no song that has an out-of-place tone of feeling. This is one of my favorite EPs/projects of the year and it came out of nowhere. If you don't know who Joji is, this next part will be a brief summary of where he came from and how I learned about him.
Calder Amos-WoodPublished 7 years ago in BeatReaders' Review: Wretch 32 - 'FR32'
Reality can be a prison to us sometimes. Everyday life gets repetitive, your job starts to suck, and your family gets annoying. The mundane can often be confused for the uninspiring. For some, it can even get downright depressing, or even violent. Any man or woman in their late 20s/early 30s in urban, or rural America can attest to feeling this way once or twice in their lives, if not as they read this.
Chuck KnightPublished 7 years ago in BeatThe Anatomy of a Perfect Rap Verse
Have you ever listened to a rap verse and been left exasperated; a type of mental exhaustion that leaves you winded, thinking "that was perfect?" It's a rare feeling, but a good one.
Jaylin PaschalPublished 7 years ago in Beat5 Amazing 'Undiscovered' UK Hip Hop Artists
It's always a good feeling when you discover a new artist that you can listen to on repeat for an extended number of days. What makes it feel that little more special is when you can follow their progress and watch them grow to become global superstars, thinking that you were there from the beginning!
Jamie BrocklehurstPublished 7 years ago in BeatReview: Game Over - Dave
Game Over, which includes Dave's singles "Question Time" and "No Words," was released at Midnight, and has already had its praises sung by the fans. The songs on Game Over provide a blend of classic Dave, as seen on "Attitude," with a mix of a previously seen before Dave — one who is close to his thoughts and speaks them all on a track — which is seen on both "How I Met My Ex" and "My 19th Birthday."

This is a track by track review of Skepta's Vicious. The rest of the world receives American entertainment with open arms, but the opposite is rarely true here in the US.

Yo Gotti is a hip-hop veteran at this point. He has past hits like "Yayo," "Down In The Dm," and his latest anthem, "Rake It Up," under his belt. Now, he's back with more heat. Did Gotti bring the fire for his latest album, I Still Am?
Rap DisciplePublished 7 years ago in BeatTedy Andreas — 'In2deep' Album Review
For many people reading this review, you may not know of Tedy Andreas. Well, let me first start by introducing a rapper who not only deserves more recognition but also, he's overall a good rapper whose flow is different from rappers today because he raps as though he came straight from the 80s and 90s.
@GabbyMiernikPublished 7 years ago in BeatKodak Black — 'Project Baby 2' Album Review
This will be my first review of an album, or I should say "Mixtape" Review, and I thought this would be a good start because for one, like many millennials my age, we are not so quick to judge the new flow and culture of the rappers now emerging into the rap game and also after hearing Kodak Black’s previous album, Painting Pictures, I thought it was finally time to hear some more music from him.
@GabbyMiernikPublished 7 years ago in BeatKodie Shane — Back From the Future Album Review
So today I will be reviewing Kodie Shane's Back From the Future, who is part of Lil Yachty's Sailing Team. Even though Kodie Shane has been rapping since middle school, she didn’t start to pick up pace in her music career until she really teamed up with Lil’ Yachty and joined the Sailing Team which was the first time I even heard of her. And ever since they dropped the “All In” video on The Fader, I have been listening to all her music mainly from sound cloud but for Back From the Future, I’ll be listening to it on Apple Music.
