Mixtape reviews

JUNGLEPUSSY - Satisfaction Guaranteed

Based in Brooklyn, Junglepussy is a typical product of the hip, bohemian and progressive environment of New-York. Her background shows this. Before starting rapping, Shayna McHayle was attracted by fashion - beyond the […]

JEAN DEAUX - Soular System Vol. I: Dark Matter[s]

Female rappers seem to be numerous in Chicago, by the middle of the 2010's. Several among them became big names, on the drill music scene. And there are others, representing the other side of the city, its wiser, […]

DREEZY - Schizo

Originated from South Side Chicago, Dreezy had her start in drill music. She connected first to a star of the subgenre, Sasha Go Hard, who invited her on her "I Ain't No Hitta" song in 2012, and she […]

DEJ LOAF - Sell Sole

Released in 2012 and titled Just Do It, Deja Trimble's first mixtape was loyal to the well-established backpacker tradition in Detroit. By then, the young woman had a unisex style, she was on the introspective side of […]

3D NA'TEE - The Coronation

The dozens are an old African-American tradition. It goes back to the times of slavery. The work the poor fellows were condemned to, in the cotton fields, was not exactly a pleasant one, so some slaves killed times with […]

LIL BOOSIE - Da Beginning

The title of this mixtape is misleading. Da Beginning, indeed, is in no way Lil Boosie's start as a rapper. By 2008, when it is released, Torrence Hatch already has a substantial discography, inclusive of solo albums, […]

MOBSQUAD NARD - Nardo DaVinci

Those familiar with Starlito's - strong - latest releases might have noticed this: the Nashville rapper frequently teams up with a man called Mobsquad Nard. He featured on several of his projects, Manifest Destiny, Hot […]

KOLY P - Rap Game Messiah

Kodak Black is not the only rapper from Pompano Beach, in the Floridian county of Broward. Revealed in 2016 through his Koly Bible mixtape, Koly P is another one. And of course, the two of them are connected. Along with […]

LIL B - Black Ken

With time, it gets exhausting to follow Lil B. Who, apart from die-hard fans, is brave enough to listen to his four- or six-hour long releases? Who is willing to explore his daunting mixtapes, just to find a couple of […]

PEEZY - Ballin Ain't A Crime

There's not only one Peezy in the rap game. While the buzz is growing around OMB Peezy, another guy with the same moniker deserves our full attention: Team Eastside Peezy (per a new trend, rappers are now including their […]

LADY LESHURR - Friggin L

Lady Leshurr is one of those who, recently, benefited from the resurgence of grime. Over the last few months, with others such as Skepta or Stormzy, the British rapper caught the attention of her American peers, through […]

GUCCI MANE - The Movie

The story of the hip-hop mixtape is, for a large part, related to Gucci Mane's career. The two converged with Chicken Talk, in 2006. Their relationship continued in 2007 with several other releases, No Pen, No Pencil […]

RICH BOY - Bigger than the Mayor

Originating from the city of Mobile, Alabama, Rich Boy started making some noise in 2006 with "Throw Some D's", a single about his new Cadillac – a luxury car he had seemingly bought with dirty money. The […]

NONAME - Telefone

The wait was long, before Fatimah Warner's first project, Telefone, was disclosed. Released in 2016 only, it was first announced three years earlier, when Noname Gypsy – now just Noname – made a name for herself with her […]

CUPCAKKE - Cum Cake

For decades, sex was a central theme in rap music. Often described in very raw and explicit ways, it is one of the key reasons why some people hate hip-hop. Because of this, they consider it too vulgar, or sexist, not […]
