Tyler Hotel - How Are You Doing

Image
Tyler Hotel  James Tyler’s is a Chicago based solo artist, and he has recently released his long awaited new album titled "How Are YOU Doing?" which he had been working on for almost a year.  "I made this album to address a lot of things in my life that I was avoiding, friends were going in and out of hospitals, and family problems were arising. So I decided to tackle it head on by making a project about it, and during the process learned how to treat myself". The project consists of 6 songs, and talks a lot about the mental, physical and emotional states of being alive. And after the release of HAYD, it is safe to say that he is more alive than ever. This is the biggest and most successful addition to his career and he couldn't be happier with both it, and all the love and support he is getting.

Tyler, The Creator - Cherry Bomb Review

Image
Cherry Bomb  Cherry Bomb is the fourth album for rapper, Tyler The Creator. Although the odd future camp has been M.I.A from the hip hop industry, they definitely understand how to remain relevant. As for the album I think it’s passable as a solid fourth album. The fourth albums are supposed to be more relaxed and less intense because as an artist this is the time to vacate, after all the years of long sleepless nights. Cherry Bomb is not a classic, but it's Tyler, and I give the album a 7 out of 10.  

Rihanna - American Oxygen (official video)

Image
American Oxygen Debuted earlier this month at the March Madness festival in Indianapolis, pop princess Rihanna now releases a scrutinizing video for American Oxygen. The video keeps your mind wondering if she’s promoting peace or other subliminal messages. Depicting various American struggles, political, and peace figures throughout the entire video, I believe in efforts to promote unity. This is a different style for Rihanna, and her fans love it, but then again who can dislike anything Ri Ri does. After a questionable video went viral, all eyes have been on Rihanna and this is a perfect way to silence the cocaine snorting rumors. Good job Ri I enjoyed the song and video.    

Tongues of Fire - Prayer Heels

Image
Montez McCamish is his name, Blues is his Game, /and Tongues of Fire is the band name, a creative sound from the soul of a young man. The gut wrenching howling and hollering comes from the BLUES. This young man is on the way to something different behind the craft of his work.  Preaching the word threw the music that you hear without a cover, the truth in the world today and how he views it. McCamish is inspired by other great blues artist such as: Howlin Wolf, Little Richard, B.B king, Al Green, Screaming Jay Hawkins, Big Moma Thornton, Mr. Pitiful, John Lee Hooker, Betty Lavette and many more. Youtubers love his most recent video “Prayers Heels,” describing the song as unique and inspirational. Gospel is on the lookout for Montez McCamish.

Young Thug Barter VI Stream The Album (Review)

Image
Young Thug just took to his Instagram a little while ago to reveal the release date and artwork for his highly anticipated  Carter VI  album. Going shirtless in front of a red backdrop, while the words Carter VI are coming from... for the cover, Thugger also wrote the caption “4/17”, indicating that the project will be dropping in only 10 days from now on the 17th. Am I the only one who finds this cover art sightly disrespectful? Yes, I could be over analyzing the art work, but placing the name right there seems like this is yet another shot at Lil Wayne, saying "F U" and "Suck this." However that's only my opinion. We're anxious to hear the Carter VI with all the Cash Money controversy going on, we will finally hear Thugger's invovlement hopefully. Stay tuned for the tracklist and review for the Cater VI Thugger version lol. (Update) Due to legal manners Young Thug has changed the name of the Carter VI to the Barter VI. I think that's ...
