Kenny Mason Finally Delivers New LP “9”

Kenny Mason is a rapper from Atlanta, Georgia that has always been an intriguing name since he got started in 2016. For most listeners though, he did not really start getting some notoriety until about 2020. That is when he put out his first full project Angelic Hoodrat. Then, in 2022, the multi-talent put out his longest tape to date, RUFFS, with 16 tracks. However, he has not really come close to dropping something that large since. That trend of shorter LPs continues for Kenny Mason on his latest offering 9.

This is somewhat of a continuation of Mason’s previous number titles, 6 and 3, with the latter being an EP. For this third multiple of three record, he is showcasing his abilities to make digestible and dark trap cuts. However, to add to his appeal, Kenny sprinkles in some tracks such as “LUMINOUS” were he rides a smooth and elegant boom-bap instrumental. On top of this solid output, he has some other exciting things happening.

Flo Milli Further Cements Her Identity On “Fine Ho, Stay”

Southern hip-hop is one of the main pillars of hip-hop and it has given us some of the best artists and tracks in its history. Of course, with every new face that decides to embody this style, things are not going to be how they once were. For Flo Milli on Fine Ho, Stay, she is showing that it does not always have be to super grimy. While she does like to portray a lot of sexual themes in her music, she makes it a little more lighthearted.

“Never Lose Me,” the album’s one and only single, is the perfect example of that. It has that pop rap appeal with the softer kick drums and delivery from Flo. After hearing this record, it becomes clearer and clearer that she is a master of catchy melodies and sticky cadences. “New Me,” “Neva,” “Toast,” and “Edible,” are some that show this ability.

Bktherula Levels Up On “LVL5 P2”

Atlanta, Georgia rapper and singer Bktherula is one of the most fun and intriguing voices in the trap scene period. In a landscape where predictability is more and more common nowadays, she definitely goes against the grain. It is great to see that, especially for the short amount of time she has been in the game. 2019 was the year she released her first single and from there, she continues to show steady growth. Bktherula’s off-kilter style and flows may not be everyone’s taste, but at least she is bringing some fresh ideas to the table on LVL5 P2.

If that title looks familiar to you, that is because this new album is a sequel to LVL5 P1, which saw its release in 2023. The P1 and P2, according to the press release, stand for player one and player two. Bktherula is big gaming fan and we can certainly see it. Some of the beats she chooses sound like they would fit right at home in a space exploration video game.

They complement her dreamy voice to a tee on songs like “FEATHERS,” “JUST MAKE SURE,” and “WISHUWASDACREW.” There are also a pair of impressive guests here, with JID and Cash Cobain. JID just continues to prove that he can mold his delivery to any instrumental on “WOMAN.” As for Cobain, his production style evolves again on the provocative “SHAKIN IT.” He manages to sample the popular TikTok track “Let Go” by Ark Patrol and Veronikka Redd. Bktherula is showing on LVL5 P2 that she is a voice that you need to continue to keep your ears on.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new album, LVL5 P2, by Bktherula? Was this record worth the wait for you so far, why or why not? What songs are you gravitating toward right now and why?

Tierra Whack Showcases Her Impressive Range “WORLD WIDE WHACK”

For about seven years, fans have come to know Tierra Whack as the cooky, colorful, and happy-go-lucky personality in hip-hop. The Philadelphia, Pennsylvania native definitely embraces it, especially when it comes to her writing, music videos, outfits, and her flows. Almost everything she does comes across as original, and nearly never derivative. While Tierra Whack is still showcasing her wild side on her new project, WORLD WIDE WHACK, she also peeling back some extra layers. It is definitely a great idea to explore, especially on your official debut album.

Yes, after all this time, we finally have it, even though she did drop an LP back in 2018 with Whack World. In our opinion though, Tierra had a lot of unfinished ideas on that tape. Part of the reason for that was due to the scant runtimes of each track. However, WORLD WIDE WHACK takes a deeper dive into her what makes her tick.

Listen To WORLD WIDE WHACK By Tierra Whack

What you will find is more personal cuts about anxiety, numbness, sui***e, drugs, love, and more. We got a hint that Tierra would be going in a slightly different direction after the “27 CLUB” single. Definitely the total opposite of the other teasers “CHANEL PIT” and “SHOWER SONG.” Even though a song like “27 CLUB” is so dark, she manages to add some body and character to them. Whack applies her eccentric deliveries and production styles that still fit the colorless and emotional moments that make WORLD WIDE WHACK familiar but different.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new album, WORLD WIDE WHACK, by Tierra Whack? Was this record worth the wait for you so far, why or why not? What songs are you gravitating toward right now and why? Did she make the right choice by not including any features on it?

Blu & Shafiq Husayn Drop Off A Hazy Three-Pack With Their “Roll Up” EP

Blu, one of the most talented rappers when it comes to both flow and writing, is back with a new trio of cuts for us. 2024 has proven to be a busy one already, as the Los Angeles California artist has dropped a single, an EP, and a collaborative album. Going back to that EP for a second, that was also a team effort. He worked with producer Shafiq Husayn to bring along We Bang. Similar to Blu and Shafiq’s newest set of tracks, Roll Up, We Bang included three recordings as well.

According to Blu and Nature Sounds’ Instagram accounts, both of these small care packages will be a part of something larger. “Blu and Shafiq Husayn are now announcing Out Of The Blue, a new album set for release on March 29th.” This will mark their second tape together, going back to the 2018 mixtape The Blueprint. While “We Bang” was the lead single, that drop also had its instrumental and “Brains Blue” paired with it.

“Roll Up” does the same thing, as Blu and Shafiq have given us “Very Amazing” too. The first of the two is very chill with excellent rhymes from Blu over a bassy beat. “Very Amazing” is a different vibe, as the instrumental is more scattered and unorthodox. Be sure to check out the tracks above.

His post comes after claiming the NBA removed from the All-Star Celebrity Game roster at the request of one of the event’s sponsors. “I was asked by the NBA to play in the all star game this year! Only for them to call later and say they couldn’t do IT because of their sponsors, like RUFFLES,” Brown wrote on his Instagram Story at the time. “At this point I’m sick of people bothering me and I’m tired of living in the f—ing past.” He also shared a screenshot of an email appearing to invite him to the game. “I POSTED THE EMAILS SO YALL COULD SEE. The NBA still was tryna get me to come and sit court side… NOT F—ING HAPPENING,” Brown said. Ruffles denied having any say in who participated in the event.

Iann Dior Showcases Some Solid Singing Chops On EP “BLIND”

Iann Dior burst onto the scene back at the start of the 2020’s with he and 24kGoldn’s smash hit “Mood.” The song is over 1.8 billion (!) streams since its release in 2021. While the young Puerto Rican artist still has a respectable 11 million plus monthlies on the platform, the hype around him does not feel as strong as it once did. It seems artists like him and 24k had their massive hit and then people left them behind sort of. However, iann dior is still churning out some solid material if you were not aware, like his new EP BLIND.

This six-song project quickly follows up his 2023 album leave me where you found me. Iann Dior is still rocking the pop punk, emo rap style that he became known for. However, BLIND is more of a foray into the pop sound than anything else. Its lead single “House On Fire” is a terrific start to the tape that climaxes instrumentally around the 2:00 mark.

Listen To BLIND By Iann Dior

In the press release for iann’s newest effort, the “Blind Intro” gives away the tape’s meaning and overall message. “They say we hide things that we’re scared to see, maybe you were that for me.” Most of the tracks here are about relationships and the other usual topics we have heard from him in years past. Even, though the lyrical evolution is not as substantial as some would probably like, iann has some great tracks here.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new EP, BLIND, by iann dior? Is this his best project ever, why or why not? What songs are you gravitating toward and why? Do you think his hype has died down, or is he still a top-flight genre-bending hip-hop artist? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

KA$HDAMI Takes Listeners To A Brief “Oasis” On New LP

KA$HDAMI is rapper who takes influence from the recent wave of melodic rap that has been prevalent for the last several years. Highly popularized by artists like Travis Scott, Kid Cudi, Don Toliver, Juice WRLD, and more, their drawn-out melodies and what make the sound so entrancing. While the Las Vegas, Nevada native draws some inspiration from them to some degree he does put his own spin on it. In the same breath though, he is still looking to fully separate himself from those names as he further develops it. KA$HDAMI is doing that on his latest project oasis.

This is the 20-year-old’s first LP since 2022’s WORLD DAMINATION. That saw him work with midwxst, XLOVCLO, NoCap, and more. According to Genius, the first hint that KA$HDAMI gave that this album was in the works actually was about one year ago exactly. However, it would be quite awhile before the hype around oasis would come back.

Listen To Oasis By KA$HDAMI

Its lead single, “Games,” would not drop until late October. Then, only one more track would be put out before its eventual release in late February. That song would be “Want!” KA$HDAMI brings some internet rap tropes into some of the tracks such as random sound effects like a Semtex grenade getting ready to explode from the Call Of Duty video games. That charm goes a long way to make this tape a little more interesting. One of the things that drags the listening experience down is how short the songs are. Most of them are only a minute and change, unfortunately.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new album, oasis, by KA$HDAMI? Is this his best project ever, why or why not? What songs are you gravitating toward and why? Who had the strongest feature performance and why? Does he deserve more recognition as an artist overall?
