Why Bizzy Bone Carbon Monoxide is the best rap album of 2019
A lot of people claim to have the best album of the year. But they are wrong because that title goes to Bizzy Bone Carbon Monoxide and I will tell you why. It’s not just because I am a huge Bone Thugs N Harmony fan. So this album has brought real rap skill and lyrics back to the rap game when it needed it a most.

Album of 2019: WHEN WE FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?
In 2018 my favourite album was LM5 by Little Mix, however this year is a completely different ball game. There are a few honourable mentions of this year, Lizzo came into her own with Cuz I Love You, Taylor Swift blew me away with Lover and Jonas Brothers made a comeback with Happiness Begins. Nonetheless seventeen year old Billie Eilish with her album WHEN WE FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? stole the year 2019 for me.

Album Review: Vigalantee-Sitting on the Front Porch Talking to My Grandma
One of the most overlooked adages of wisdom states: "Experience is the best teacher." When it comes to hearing the best experiences that teach you about life, there is no better source in one's family to learn from than a grandparent. Roger "Vigalantee" Suggs is a Chicago-born, Georgia-raised, and Kansas City-praised MC who has been in the hip-hop business for around a quarter-century. In late 2019, Vigalantee released his landmark 20th album titled Sitting on the Front Porch Talking to My Grandma (Phatahdat Records).

All the Things I Said to Myself While Listening to 'Fine Line' for the First Time
Harry Styles’ album came out at midnight today! (I never use exclamation points; can you sense my excitement?) Honestly, after listening to it for the first time, I can honestly say that there’s nothing in the world that I love more than this album right now.

'From a Page' of Yes History
Within the last few months, I did a series of Yes studio album reviews as a way to commemorate their discography turning 50 years old. The last studio album review was Heaven & Earth, but then a week later, on October 25th, there was a surprise announcement. Now available via Burning Shed was From a Page, a collection of studio tracks worked on by Yes in 2010. At the time, the lineup consisted of Benoît David (vocals), Steve Howe (guitar), Chris Squire (bass), Oliver Wakeman (keys), and Alan White (drums).

Album Review: The Who - 'Who'
Despite their many accolades over the years, The Who occupy a somewhat curious place in the rock and roll realm. There is no doubt that at least three of their albums (Tommy, Who's Next, and Quadrophenia) are among the best rock and roll albums of all time, or that songs like "Pinball Wizard," "Won't Get Fooled Again," and "My Generation" are indisputable classics, or that guitarist Pete Townshend is one of rock's most revolutionary players and songwriters, and vocalist Roger Daltrey one of its most powerful singers.

Destiny's Child Albums Ranked
There's always a time when rumours of old girlbands decide to put their differences aside and reunite. The original Sugababes came back with Flowers, Pussy Cat Dolls performed on the X Factor not so long ago. And there's rumours that Destiny's Child will be getting back together. Last month Beyonce's dad, Matthew Knowles, promised fans that 2020 will be the year they will reunite. Just as I was writing the first draft of this article, a new album was released.
