SOPHIE – Self-Titled review

SOPHIE was a 34 year old producer, songwriter & DJ from Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom known for her brash take on pop music distinguished by experimental sound design, “sugary” synthesized textures & incorporation of influences from underground dance styles as well as pioneering the hyperpop microgenre. Her debut album OIL OF EVERY PEARL’S UN-INSIDES has become a bubblegum bass & deconstructed club classic with additional inspiration from art pop, wonky, glitch pop, ambient & ambient pop. Fast forward to the beginning of 2021, she accidentally fell 3 storeys from the rooftop of a building in Athen, Greece while attempting to take a picture of the full moon & tragically passed. Ever since her death, a 2nd & final album has said to be in the vaults & now it’s l here at last.

After the ambient “Future Horrors” intro, the first song “RAWWWWWW” by Jozzy starts off by hopping over a minimal electronic dance music beat assuring us that she isn’t dirty even though she rolls whereas the glitchy “Plunging Asymptote” heavily samples Juliana Huxtable’s libretto for Xavier Cha’s performance art/dance piece Buffer. “The Dome’s Protection” favors for an ambient direction instrumentally with Nina Kraviz providing spoken word while “Reason Why” by BC Kingdom & Kim Petras was a great lead single fusing dance-pop, electropop, bubblegum bass & future house talking about taking a look inside your mind.

BC Kingdom sticks around for “Live in My Truth” alongside LIZ radiating a soulful house vibe to the beat flexing that they’re doing shit their own way leading into “Why Lies?” by BC Kingdom & LIZ once again keeps the trio together for a synth-pop banger wanting to know the reason they’re being lied to. “Do You Wanna Be Alive?” by Big Sister throws it back to the 80s electro era showing off a promiscuous side, but then “Elegance” builds itself around a vocal sample of Popstar saying the titular word & is sure enough to get the dance floors turnt.

“Berlin Nightmare” featuring Evita Manji doing additional vocals from happens to be a dope tech house single with undertones of acid house, Detroit techno & fidget house lasting 3 & a half minutes just before “Gallop” serves as this instrumental bridge that feels like something Death Grips frontman MC Ride would absolutely body. “1 More Time” brings a progressively ambient & dream trance vibe to the table including a hint of weightless while “Exhilarate” by Bibi Bourelly heads towards alternative R&B, bubblegum bass, alt-pop & electropop keeping their feet on the gas.

“Always & Forever” by Hannah Diamond nears the final moments of SOPHIE’s eponymous coda promising to shine together throughout the duration of eternity while “My Forever” by Cecil Believe embraces alt-pop, synthpop, electropop, balearic beat, ambient house & alternative R&B sings about wanting to go back to what he perceives as his own forever. “Love Me Off Earth” by Doss ties everything up wanting to know what is it worth for SOPHIE to be loved when she’s not here, foreshadowing her own death.

Would I say this eponymous posthumous outing is as cutting-edge & decade defining as OIL OF EVERY PEARL’S UN-INSIDES? Not necessarily. Nevertheless, it’s still a respectively solid way to conclude the hyperpop pioneer’s career having Benny Long finalizing what SOPHIE had mostly completed up until her tragic death. Damn-near every track has guest performing over her visionary spin on electronic dance music whether it be bubblegum bass, dance-pop, ambient, tech house, acid techno, electropop, techno, UK bass & post-industrial connecting with her in the form she loved most.

Score: 3.5/5

Dead Players – “Faster Than the Speed of Death” review

The Dead Players are a hip hop trio from London, England, United Kingdom consisting of producer Ghosttown alongside emcees Dabbla & Jam Baxter. Making their eponymous full-length debut in the summer of 2013 under High Focus Records, they would later follow it up in the fall of 2015 with a sophomore effort called Freshly Skeletal until they embarked on an indefinite hiatus. They’ve surprisingly decided to reunite 1 last time for their 3rd & most likely final studio LP a few weeks away from former アイアンマンヘビーメタル級チャンピオン, EVOLVE Champion, 2-time 新日本プロレス世界認定TVチャンピオン, 3-time IWGPタッグチャンピオン, PWG World Champion, 2-time GHCジュニアヘビー級タッグチャンピオン, 4-time RPW British Heayweight Champion & 3-time RPW British Tag Team Champion Zack Sabre Jr. facing the current 2-time IWGPヘビー級チャンピオン内藤哲也.

“The Sooner We Die, the Sooner We Can All Go Home” begins with a sample-driven trap intro talking about what they’ve been up to since we’ve heard from them last whereas “Alaska Spearfishing” embraces a back-&-forth style of delivery wittily trading 8 bars with one another. “Just Above Water” talks about their ability to not let their struggles weigh them down while “Refried Nights” promises to stay weird throughout this final year of activity.

As for “Dustbowl”, we have Ghosttown going for a more somber vibe instrumentally so Dabbla & Jam Baxter can advise to never split your winnings with a thief leading into the 2-parter “Major Curse / Icepick” starting boisterously until hooking up a woodwind during the beat switch talking about coming back so they can crush some cities & switch it up again. “Bloodsuckers” however puts their chemistry in the spotlight once again to finish off the 1st half asking how those kind of people feel.

“Welcome Back Oh Cruel, Cruel Behemoth” kicks off the last leg of their coda sampling some violins & mixing it with some hi-hats talking about death not really being all that convincing to them while the 2nd single “Death by 1,000 Cocktail Sticks” speaks of the 1st life always being free of charge, hence why they’re living theirs quickly. The 3rd & penultimate single “Gasoline Sazerac” on the other hand advises to do your thing regardless of the world getting sapped of all meaning.

The lead single “Cherry Turbo” dropped 14 months earlier as a way of celebrating 10 whole years Players’ foundation going back-&-forth with each other without the need of a hook while “Neon Soup” talks about their thumbs ringing when they’re high whilst their lives flash in their faces. “Blue Crab Linguine in the Frosty Underworld” bittersweetly wraps up the album asking if everything sorted itself out the way they hoped.

Celebrating their evolution & staying true to the previous iterations of themselves, what could very well likely be the last time the Dead Players get back together sounds a lot more trap-oriented than self-titled & Freshly Skeletal were in earlier 2010s maintaining the signature abstractly hardcore lyricism that’s always made them stood out. Living up where the predecessor left off thematically, Faster Than the Speed of Death gives a peek at where the trio is now in their lives as they look back at their old selves along the way. Can’t forget to compliment Telemachus’ engineering either.

Score: 4/5

The Hoodies – “Nobody Bigger Than We” review

Ellenville, New York duo The Hoodies consisting of siblings E-Class & Young Poppa are back for their 3rd EP. These guys have been taking over the local underground scene for the past 6 years off the strength of their debut mixtape Blood Thicker followed by their first couples EPs both Where Should We Land & What Pressure Makes. However, their full-length debut studio album Hidden Gems entirely produced by Kid Capri last fall wound up becoming their most acclaimed body of work yet from both critics & fans for it’s take on the past & present New York hip hop sounds. And with its anniversary coming in a few weeks, they’re reminding everyone that Nobody Bigger Than We.

“Closer” is this sample drill opener with a chipmunk soul flare talking about being underrated, but still scoring just like the Cleveland Cavaliers whereas “Love Birds” continues with the soulful flips instrumentally flexing that they really Soulja Boy since they’ll pop out with the Draco in reference to the Big Draco nickname from the first rapper to do everything. “Despise Me” featuring their manager Ms. Tiff has a solemner approach atmospherically bouncing off one another on the mic collecting that money & “Not the Same” ends the EP sampling “All the Man That I Need” by Whitney Houston trying to teach the lessons of their predecessors.

I’m usually very selective when it comes to artists in the Brooklyn drill scene, but there’s no question that E-Class & Young Poppa are both skilled enough lyrically to do that style justice & that’s exactly what they do over the course of Nobody Bigger Than We. Granted that we already heard them dabble with this sound (case in point: “Top of N.Y.”), they embrace it a lot more here to the point where they’re also fusing it with elements of sample drill & chipmunk soul in a captivating fashion reaffirming their status as the biggest in Ellenville.

Score: 3.5/5

Cardo – “MADeMAN” review

Cardo is a 40 year old producer & rapper from St. Paul, Minnesota notable for lacing a couple standout tracks on Wiz Khalifa’s best mixtape Kush & Orange Juice. He would later go on to become one of the most in-demand beatsmiths in recent memory, producing hits ranging from “THat Part” by ScHoolboy Q featuring Ye formerly known as Kanye West to “goosebumps” by Travis Scott featuring Kendrick Lamar or more recently “euphoria” by the latter serving as the first of 4 Drake disses. To celebrate his 40th birthday though, he’s stepping out as a rapper more for a debut album.

The title track sets the tone of what’s to come with this smooth west coast style beat talking about being a made man whereas “Thinking of Wayz” featuring Payroll Giovanni takes the g-funk route instrumentally trying to come up with ways to making straight up cash. “Bankroll” kinda gives off a Mobb vibe to talk about getting money being the only thing he knows, but then “Can’t Stop” returns to the g-funk refusing to slow down.

“Never 2 Much” featuring Seafood Sam has this synth-funk vibe generally talking about being out here making that fetti just before the exuberantly groovy “Thumbin’” calls out people trying to speak to him when it has absolutely nothing to do with making the bread. “Woke Up Ballin’” has a summary trap flare talking about the money always calling him leading into the atmospheric west coast jam “Nameless” featuring Larry June refusing to be around anyone broke in their lives.

Kamaiyah joins Cardo on “Paper” continuing to flex their grind over a spaciously funky instrumental prior to the atmospheric “Mac Dre Flow” paying homage to one of the greatest Bay Area emcees of all time, the late Thizz Entertainment founder Mac Dre. “When You See Me” gets back on the Mobb tip a bit opening up more of having to get it on his own while the synth-driven “C-Bo Flow” featuring Payroll Giovanni gives their flowers to C-Bo of The Regime.

“Ain’t No Way” pushes towards the final moments of Cardo’s official full-length debut LP by hooking the g-funk sound back up pointing out that trying to come up with plots to stop this shit on his end is simply an impossibility & the outro featuring Payroll Giovanni ends MADeMAN with 1 final Mobb joint advising that you have to manage the money in order to master it, even having more income as a result of both of them changing their habits up.

Disregarding the fact that we’ve hardly heard Cardo on the mic as much as we have up until this point, MADeMAN as a producer album altogether happens to be a much more salvageable debut than the new Southside album Break the Silence or even the Pyrex Whippa album Sincerely, Rex. His production hones in on the west coast sound whether it be g-funk or Mobb music, his performances are stronger than both 808 Mafia members on their respective debuts & the minimal guests are well-selected.

Score: 4/5

Alemeda – “FUCK IT” review

Alemeda is a 24 year old Sudanese-Ethiopian singer/songwriter from Phoenix, Arizona who became inspired to make music after watching the High School Musical trilogy as a heavy Disney pop-punk kid growing up. However, it wasn’t until her feature on the Hit-Boy produced highlight “Fallacy” off Ab-Soul’s 5th album Herbert at the end of 2022 were many including myself first caught onto her. Almost 22 months later, she’s celebrating her new joint deal with Top Dawg Entertainment & Warner Records by releasing her debut EP.

“I hate your face” starts on the groovy R&B tip singing that she wants to speak to whoever raised these ignorant, uneducated haters whereas “Don’t Call Me” takes the alternative rock route telling an ex of hers that she made his problems important to her & not to contact her. “Guy’s Girl” comes to the realization that the guy she used to see won’t ever change over a pop rock instrumental, but then the rock/R&B crossover “I already dug your grave” asks if he regrets the things he’s done when he’s alone.

To kick off the other half of FUCK IT, “1st Love Song” fuses pop rock with post-punk revival & bedroom pop admitting she was pissed on the evening of her partner’s birthday while “Gonna Bleach My Eyebrows” swaps out the pop rock & post-punk revival influences in favor of 2-step & alternative R&B talking about being a new artist with a new style. Below the Belt” feels young as she’s ever been & old enough to know this individual never really gave her a chance over warm guitar shredding & “Not Asking for Much” is a down-tuned closer needing some summertime.

If any of you enjoyed the “Fallacy” feature like I did & have yet to check out Alemeda’s own discography, this EP is the truest expression of who she is artistically & personally. She makes her case as the newest welcoming addition of the TDE roster letting go of what doesn’t serve her & embracing the chaos and beauty of being unapologetically real through the styles of contemporary R&B, alternative rock, pop rock, post-punk revival, alternative R&B & 2-step.

Score: 3.5/5

O.T. the Real – “Cost of Living” review

Philadelphia emcee O.T. the Real following up Moving Base O.T.’s eponymous debut in the form of his 8th EP. Getting his start in the underground back in 2016 after coming home from prison & dropping his debut single “Papercuts”, his profile began to grow from there after showcasing his skills on radio stations or dropping 7 albums as well as a mixtape & his last 7 EPs. My favorites being the Heatmakerz-produced 3rd EP The Irishman& the DJ Green Lantern-produced 3rd album Broken Glass that dropped on my 25th birthday & the Statik Selektah produced Maxed Out. No Matter What, Desperation of December, It’s Almost Over & Red Summer were all hit or miss for me until O.T. finally signed to Black Soprano Family Records & enlisted araabMUZIK for Zombie to critical acclaim. Prepare for War & Pale Horse were ok, but Nickel Plated producing Cost of Living happened to peak my interest.

“Kicked” begins by hopping on top of this eerie boom bap instrumental putting listeners on game teaching that there are only 3 types of people in this world whereas “Mahomes” works in more kicks & snares with eerie piano chords referencing the titular Kansas City Chiefs quarterback. “Eminem” morbidly talks about having a white girl in the trunk much like the titular Detroit icon’s now deceased alter ego Slim Shady just before “Footstep” declares putting his trust in the scales over bitches.

Finishing the Cost of Living’s first leg, “Blow” ruggedly suggests getting rid of the cocaine while “Yet” starts the other half talking about how you can’t be out here drawing if you wanna keep continuing to win in the streets. After the “241” skit, “Naked” pays homage to those who never made it or never saved it when they had it while “Bridesburg” represents the titular neighborhood in his hometown. “Amputate” closes the EP cautioning that hoodie season’s coming over pianos.

Zombie was the most I’ve enjoyed a project from O.T. in nearly 2 years, the Moving Base O.T. album from a few months ago showed us the duo’s tightly raw chemistry & now this 10 track EP running at almost 19 minutes joins the latter 2 in further redeeming O.T. some of the more lackluster offerings he’s has given us in the last year & a half. Nickel Plated gets a chance to shine by cooking up a consistent batch of beats for the Philly lyricist to body.

Score: 4/5

Jamie xx – “In Waves” review

Jamie xx is a 35 year old musician, DJ, producer & remixer from London, England, United Kingdom notable for being 1/3 of The xx or producing the title track off Drake’s best full-length album Take Care. He even put out a critically acclaimed solo debut In Colour during the summer of 2015 shortly after I graduated high school prominently based around UK bass with elements of future garage, deep house, downtempo & alt-pop included additionally. However, he’s FINALLY returning for a sophomore effort.

“Wanna” is this calming instrumental opener that rightfully sets the tone whereas the 2nd single “Treat Each Other Right” pulls from future garage, UK bass, progressive breaks & chipmunk soul talking about how that’s all we gotta do. “Waited All Night” by Oliver Sim & Romy maintains the future garage & progressive breaks elements throwing a hint of alternative R&B in the mix prior to “Baddy in the Floor” featuring additional vocals provided by Honey Dijon dabbles with garage house, funky house, speed garage & French house telling the baddies to let loose on the dance floor.

The fusion of future garage, UK bass, alternative R&B, neo-psychedelia, Atlanta bass & deconstructed club on “Dafodil” only remembering the lovely sweetness in the air after being with a beautiful female in London for the night while “Still Summer” serves as another instrumental piece for you to play during the final moments of summer itself. “Life” by Robyn borrows from funky house, Latin house, dance-pop & ballroom singing about her man making her feel alive just before “The Feeling I Get From You” lives up to it’s name by incorporating a warmer atmosphere.

“Breather” starts the final leg of In Waves with this epic 6 & a half minute kinda giving off a progressive house vibe while “All You Children” produced with The Avalanches celebrates the joy of community, connection & the transformative power of dance through tech house, melodic house & melodic techno. After the “Every Single Weekend” interlude, “Falling Together” featuring Oona Doherty on spoken word ends with what’s actually the song “Pale Blue Dancer” teased at Coachella almost 2 & a half years ago.

The deluxe run begins with Erykah Badu getting on the house-driven “F.U.” talking about being in the club calling for all the laddies & the brothers to get wild while the repetitive “It’s So Good” was a loose from last January fusing UK funky, funk brasileiro & IDM. “Do Something” dabbles with New Orleans bounce a bit while “Let’s Do It Again” crosses over in favor of progressive house, funky house, future garage & melodic house. “Kill Dem” ends the collection of bonus tracks returning to a UK funky sound 1 more time removing the funk brasileiro & IDM undertones in favor of ragga & stutter house

Almost a decade after his debut solo masterpiece, we get a melancholy paradise of bliss alongside heartbreak & introspection that eclipsed the heights of its predecessor somehow making all supernatural adjectives & analogies seem understated. He replicates the emotional crescendos & thrilling volatility of an almost mystical night out telling the story of a journey where you merge into the divine pulse of shadows, light & dance floor rhythms or a strobe light epiphany about the illimitable possibilities & spiritual capacities of humanity.

Score: 4.5/5

Katy Perry – “143” review

Katy Perry is a 39 year old singer/songwriter & television personality from Santa Barbara, California who started in 2001 by releasing a Christian rock album under her birth name Katy Hudson. She later signed to Capitol Records for the sophomore effort One of the Boys & 3rd album Teenage Dream launched Katy into international superstardom. PRISM, Witness & Smile were all released to mixed reception & some of the singles building up the Unsub Records founder’s 7th LP here had me interested.

“Woman’s World” starts with what is easily one of the worst songs that I’ve heard all year uglily mutating dance-pop, synthpop, synthwave & hi-NRG despite the themes of female empowerment whereas the poppy trap duet “Gimme Gimme” featuring 21 Savage finds the 2 getting lustful. “Gorgeous” featuring Kim Petras gives off an electro dance-pop flare shouting out the girlies for looking stunning just before “I’m His, He’s Mine” featuring Doechii works in elements of pop rap, Atlanta bass, contemporary R&B & trap getting possessive towards their lovers.

Meanwhile on “Crush”, we have Katy singing over a house beat about falling in love leading into “Lifetimes” going dance-pop, garage house, diva house, Euro House & future house paying tribute to her daughter Daisy. “All the Love” maintains the house vibes instrumentally accepting that love wasn’t for her until Daisy came into her life prior to “Nirvana” expressing Katy’s desire to be taken to a spiritual place of perfect peace & happiness through her current partner through sexual intimacy.

“Artificial” featuring J.I.D nears the conclusion of 143 in the form of this dance-pop/pop rap hybrid wanting to know who’ll save them from losing their minds while the song “Truth” demands transparency within a relationship even if it hurts her over an atmospheric trap beat & I can definitely tell that she’s referring to Russell Brand. The closer “Wonder” ends the album the eponymous wonder in everything no matter the age & no matter the circumstances that the wonder finds itself in.

Starting the deluxe run, “I Woke Up” is this happy go-lucky dance pop tune singing about having another day not doing the relatable theme of life not being promised any justice while “Has a Heart” tries way too hard to preach it’s message to the world of sharing the prospect of love to one another. “No Tears for New Year’s” embraces a synth-pop vibe refusing to let anyone cry soon as New Year’s Day begins & the final bonus track “OK” finishes by remaining optimistic ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

It’s crazy to think that the same woman who had damn near every single song on her major label sophomore effort like “California Gurls” featuring WWE Hall of Famer Snoop Dogg or even “E.T.” featuring Ye formerly known as Kanye West has now given us what many including myself are now regarding as the worst body of work in her entire discography. I have no doubts that she wrote it from a sincere place since it’s named after what she calls her angel number, the biggest flaw here is the production playing catch-up to the dance party trends.

Score: 1/5

Terror Reid – “Manifesto” review

San Jose deejay, producer, rapper & actor Terror Reid celebrating the 1-year anniversary of Hot Vodka 2 with his 2nd mixtape. Originally started turning heads a decade back after dubstep pioneer Skrillex signed him to his OWSLA Music for short period of time, he went on to drop 2 full-lengths & 13 EPs in the EDM genre under the name Getter before embarking into hip hop during the pandemic with Hot Vodka, which my homie Rone Bone of The Beneath the Dirt Podcast put me onto when it came out & was impressed by the boom bap/g-funk production as well as the raps from Terror himself. The sophomore EP DYNAMO as was the previously mentioned ruined Hot Vodka sequel, so I was anticipating his Manifesto.

After the “Salvation” intro, the first song “Makin’ Me Sick!” instrumentally throws it back to the days of early 90s west coast hip hop expressing his disgust with some of these cats whereas “Chin Check” takes a significantly eerier route to the beat talking about saying less & asking what’s next since he did everything else. “Shark City” embraces the g-funk vibes representing his hometown where the Sharks play while “Mad Woozy” goes drumless giving a middle finger to the fame & wanting to commit murder referencing Facebook founder/Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

“Seraphim” morbidly flexes that suckas can never get close to the phantom just before the lead single “Nod Ya Head! takes it back to the basement on a ride to raise Hell promising to kill any mic given to him. “Doin’ My Thang” maintains his independent hustle over this groovy ass instrumental leading into “I.D.F.A. (I Don’t Fuck Around)” dustily talks about not playing games whatsoever.

The penultimate song “Waco” featuring Rocci pushes towards the conclusion of the Manifesto of Terror Reid on some eerie trap shit referencing when the Branch Davidians were sieged by U.S. federal government & Texas state law enforcement officials while “Want U Around” ahead of the “Departure” outro wrapping things up expressing that he feels like he’s running in the dark with a blindfold on.

Rocci who produced Ramirez’ best album to date The Playa$ Manual in the spring of 2020 right when the COVID-19 pandemic started had his hand in producing 7 of the 10 songs on here excluding the intro & outro skit, which is important to note because this might be my new favorite Terror Reid tape. The Virginia producer helps Getter grow his sound & refining his style as an MC.

Score: 4/5

The Alchemist – “The Genuine Articulate” review

Beverly Hills producer, DJ & rapper The Alchemist following up the Flying High EPs with his 12th EP. Beginning as 1/2 of the duo The Whooliganz in 1993 with Scott Caan, they would only disband a year later after recording a debut album that eventually got shelved & Scott went onto acting like his father. Mudfoot on other end quickly established himself as one of the greatest producers in hip hop history with a resume including ranging names from Mobb Deep & Eminem to Travis Scott & even Drake. Gangrene got back together this spring for Heads I Win, Tails You Lose & The Genuine Articulate is refusing to slow down.

“Ferraris in the Rain” featuring ScHoolboy Q is this jazzy, drumless opener with both of them asking for the rain to remove them from all the pain they’re going through in their lives whereas the first 3 Uncle Al solo joints “Something Light” delivers it hardcore over a futuristically rugged self-produced instrumental. “Minnesota Fats” featuring Action Bronson finds the pair over a rock sample pledging allegiance to the fellowship while “Scientology” featuring Havoc displays how hard-headed they are.

The penultimate Alchemist solo track “Everybody’s Favorite Uncle” strips the drums once more further elaborating on the Uncle Al nickname Earl Sweatshirt gave him a decade ago on Doris that is until “Diego Mardona” featuring Conway the Machine heinously talks about the scenery only getting intenser & darker. “Details” featuring Larry June hops on top of this bare soul sample boasting anyone can do this, but then “Seasons Change” was a remarkable Father’s Day single from this summer & the best closer imaginable.

On the contrary to a lot of Alchemist’s previous solo material that I’ve covered in the past, this is probably the most that I’ve heard him vocally since he’s performing on every single track including with the guests & I welcome that since he’s been ripping mics before he even became a top 10 producer of mine. He maintains his signature sound & holds his own weight lyrically with a cast of high-profile MCs.

Score: 4/5
