Reviews of hip-hop albums or mixtapes.

COOTIE - Welcome To The Trap

Rap music changes. New trends come and go. New scenes appear, year after year, in every region, and then a new wave crushes them. The music of Gucci Mane remains, though. It remains in Georgia, of course. And in […]

KODAK BLACK - Back For Everything

Few medias will tell you the truth. Not many will say that Back For Everything is one of the best albums released so far in 2022. Not because of their bad taste, or their lack of discernment. No. They just decided not to […]

YOUNG NUDY - DR. EV4L

With its cover art that looked like a photocopy, his disturbing music, and his psychopathic lyrics, Anyways… didn't look like what it was supposed to be: Young Nudy's first official album. His raps weren't welcoming, his […]

What can Devin Copeland do, while locked-down during the COVID era? Well, smoke marijuana, of course. Relax and chill with his close ones, obviously. And record music. So pretty much the same as usual, more or less. […]

Some time ago, on the forum of this very blog, one of the regulars compared Dave to Abd al Malik, a quite embarrassing French rapper. Ouch, that hurts… However, it is not entirely unfounded. Both rappers, indeed, share […]
