Great beats in that track ^

schizo1014

Vince is getting a lot of hate because of that beat, can't please everyone but I thought it was a banger of a track!

New Brother Ali album to be announced today by the looks of things.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbTCjpc0MRY

No idea who he is but will give it a listen later. Thanks.

Boom_Bap

Don't let this put you off, he is a Muslim Albino from Minnesota. He's been around for years not and his first couple of releases are excellent. They are more rappedy rap than what he does now. He started to introduce some of his teachings into his last couple of albums which have been good for the most part, but a little too preachy at times.
It's been about 4 years since he released anything, but he normaly has excellent production and one of the best rapping voices I've heard.

Banger from Elzhi and Will Sessions

Real good EP from a guy called Kris Kasanova. I immediately thought that he sounded alot like J.Cole.....well he does, but anyway....it's a decent EP

New Freddie Gibbs album dropped today, looking forward to that.

The new Kendrick song is dope, love the beat, very 90's early 2000's west coast vibe to it.

Watched this over the weekend, great watch.

Turns out that the Kendrick album won't be out until next week

Shapey Fiend

Rap Album Two is indeed whopper.

Kendrick has a track on Thudercat's Drunk album, which is fantastic. Think Michael McDonald edges him out for the best verse though.

Been listening to an Irish hip hop album called Saoirse for the last couple of days it's pretty class. Productions that typically apocalyptic Belfast style they have going on for the last few years and vocals are all hype shouty rukus.

New new Unscene (Limerick) cypher video is bananas.

I'm in the middle of my first listen.

My initial thoughts are I prefer it to "To pimp a butterfly" but not as good as Good kid

Hoping to give it 2 listens today to get a bit more of an informed opinion on it

It took me about 20 times to appreciate good kidd :P
I agree not a massive fan of Pimp a butterfly

schizo1014

On first listen I'm honestly not really impressed with it bar one or two songs.

Which are?

Grayditch

I like it. Some really nice chilled tracks on it. I need a few a few more listens.

peteeeed

All the best albums take a few listens , you can't compare it yet to albums you've listened to a hundred times , love the backing track on the opening tune

Maybe 3 or 4 so far actually on second listen

DNA

Loving this

Grayditch

I'll be skipping that track Love, every time. The track with U2 is pretty decent.

samdick33

i like rihanna

buried

Just listened to 'Damn'. Liked it way more than I thought I would. That DNA track is one of the best things I've heard from any genre of music the last 10 years. Thought I would hate the U2 track but that's brilliant too. Lovely balance to the record. He done it again. Will buy it again on vinyl when it comes out. Looking forward to a few more listens tonight

Played it on loop in the Car, savage track

I can't take it seriously. Whoever the singer is, they have a fantastic voice, but this leans far too heavily on the side of basic pop for me anyway.

Fair enough, was wondering why the missus had it on her phone

Grayditch

It's 2017 and he needs a track like that on the album, I guess.

schizo1014

Must agree withe Grayditch I think that type of song has no business being on a Kendrick Album. Listening away to it today and its definitely better than TPAB for me.
