PARTYOF2 – “Amerika’s Next Top Party!” review

PARTYOF2 is a pop rap & alternative R&B/trap duo from Los Angeles, California consisting of Jadagrace & SWIM. Initially founded as a quartet with TJOnline & Rhea under the name Grouptherapy., the latter would depart after their debut EP This Isn’t the Album although TJOnline stuck around for their debut mixtape There Goes the Neighborhood as well as their 2nd EP Truth Be Told & the full-length debut I Was Mature for My Age, But I Was Still a Child. Signing to Def Jam Recordings earlier this spring, they’re ready to make their major label debut with a sophomore effort hot off a few viral singles.

“Survivor’s Remorse” starts with SWIM calling Jada being his saving grace since they fixed up a burnt down home & made it safe again whereas the 3rd & final single “Out of Body” blends rap rock, experimental hip hop, nu metal & pop rap talking about their hearts being on fire. “Just Dance 2” was actually the lead single crossing over Miami bass, hip house, electro diva house & pop rap looking to turn the function up leading into “Friendly Fire” playfully dissing one another.

As for “Vanessa Williams”, we have PARTYOF2 over an orchestral beat talking about wanting their partners to be legitimate & for their friends to become rich while “Feel Love” produced by KAYTRANADA taps into the latter’s signature deep house sound feeling like their hearts are ready to run & looking to keep up with one another. “Poser” has one of the catchiest hooks on the entire LP clapping back at those who’re posing over a tuba until advising to “Save Yourself” with heavy pianos.

“High” starts the final leg of Amerika’s Next Top Party! with a bit of a cloudier vibe looking to get some shit off their minds by smoking some good weed while “Big” instrumentally throws it back to when The Neptunes dominated the airwaves in the early 2000s talking about wanting big game in this large world. “Heaven on Earth” ends the LP with another one of their most essential tracks while “Mad Love” starts the deluxe run talking about being in love with their haters. Both “All 4 the Best” & the final bonus track “We Owe You an Explanation” however address TJ’s departure a year & a half ago.

Taking inspiration from SWIM’s parents getting divorced & the death of Jadagrace’s father, PARTYOF2’s inaugural release for Def Jam Recordings celebrates this new incarnation of Grouptherapy. by getting more creative on the production side of things expanding their pop rap & alternative R&B styles in favor of experimental hip hop, trap, contemporary R&B, rap rock, nu metal, hip house, Miami bass, electro diva house & deep house maintaining a chemistry kin to The Carters or will.i.am & Fergie when she was still a member of The Black Eyed Peas. The prominent theme of growing up can also be likened to Joey Valence & Brae’s major label debut Hyperyouth this past summer.

Score: 4/5

Novatore – “Embrace the Darkness III” review

Chicago, Illinois emcee Novatore celebrating Halloween early with his 14th studio LP. Emerging as a member of the Infamous Crew, he’s also built up an impressive solo career over nearly a decade by dropping 4 EPs & an acclaimed collaborative effort with A.M. Early Morning produced by Stu Bangas called Kingdom of Criminality & it’s recent sequel produced by Johnny Slash. Other highlights include Louie, Louie II, Embrace the Darkness, Portrait of a Madman, Embrace the Darkness II: Explorers of Experience, Master of Morbid Creations, Living in the End Times, Alchemy & Black Magic, his Goon MuSick debut The 87 Arsonist & the Brenx-produced Agoraphobia. Only halfway through the month, he’s looking to outsource both of his previous discography entries under Goon MuSick with Embrace the Darkness III.

After the “Possession” intro, the first song “Apostrophes” opens with a boom bap instrumental from none other than C-Lance talking about his demons wanting full control the way he constantly acts whereas “Last Chapter” featuring Lord Goat finds the pair making sure their competition doesn’t have a career. “In the Scope” eerily talks about staying underground forever & once “Murder for Hire” featuring Apathy spends a few minutes quenching for blood, we’re treated to a compositional “War Plans on Signal” intermission.

“Mannequins” brings some chilling pianos into the fold starting the 2nd half bodybagging those who want to battle him while “Moving Keys” featuring Chubs & K-Prez turns peons into vegetables. The sampling on “Deafening Silence” feels reminiscent of Jedi Mind Tricks giving shoutouts to those showing love & after “No Masters” featuring 2 Feathers talks about not being afraid to fight, “Dark Empire” featuring DreamTek ends with them giving their 2 cents regarding the current political climate.

During the COVID-19 pandemic at the beginning of this decade, the original Embrace the Darkness like both Louies marked a huge improvement from Novatore’s earlier material & the sequel 13 months afterwards further propelled himself artistically. Fast forward to present day only a couple weeks away from Halloween, he & C-Lance return to the darker vibes of both it’s predecessors surpassing The 87 Arsonist & Agoraphobia to become his finest work since signing to Goon MuSick.

Score: 4.5/5

Tha God Fahim – “Lethal Weapon 4” review

Brand new EP & the 65th from Atlanta, Georgia emcee/producer Tha God Fahim. Starting as an affiliate of Griselda Records & being 1/3 of the Dump Gawds alongside Mach-Hommy & Your Old Droog, we also can’t ignore the massive discography that he’s managed to build for himself, some of the standouts include Breaking Through tha Van Allen Belts & Dump Assassins. He’s been putting out amongst his best material in the past few years like the Camoflauge Monk-produced Dark Shogunn Assassin, the Nature Sounds-backed Iron Bull, the Nicholas Craven-produced Dump Gawd: Shot Clock King series, the Oh No-produced Berserko, the Mike Shabb-produced Dump Gawd: Rhyme Pays, Tha Supreme Hoarder of All Pristine Wealth, Supreme Dump Legend: Soul Cook Saga produced by Cookin’ Soul & Machine Gun Vocabulary produced by Cartune Beatz. Preluding the upcoming 17th installment of the Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap saga, Drega33’s continuing the Lethal Weapon series with installment 4.

“Never Miss” starts with a drumless chipmunk soul instrumental talking about living on in the pages of greatness whereas “The Storm” works in more sampling to put pressure on the whole rap game’s neck. “Solo Mission” continues the chipmunk soul vibes to talk about brutally slaying any opponent & “Never Full” chops up more samples so he can chill in luxury.

The song “Never Fail” begins Lethal Weapon 4’s final act with the Dump Gawd talking about only excelling than catching Ls on top of a drumless chipmunk soul sample while “So Many Rhymes” talks about the days when he used to feel trapped looking for a way out now going on a mission to inspire others. “Rage Quit” last but not least wraps things up leaving his competition dazed from a furious blaze.

Coming off FlyG’s greatest body of work Mennblvck earlier this summer & producing Che Noir’s recent single a week ago, Drega33 caught the attention of many including myself this spring by commencing the Lethal Weapon series as a bit of a quick breather in between Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap entries & that tradition is being continued with the most soulful of them all.

Score: 4.5/5

7xvethegenius – “Self 7xve 3” review

Buffalo, New York emcee 7xvethegenius making her debut under her Broadband Sound imprint’s new distribution deal with Roc Nation Records for her 3rd album. Emerging off her first 2 EPs The Calm Before & Self 7xve as well as the full-length debut 7xve is Love, it wasn’t until she & Jae Skeese both became the first artists to sign with Conway the Machine’s very own Drumwork Music Group where 7xve got her biggest break yet. She has since preluded Death of Deuce with Thy Will Be Done alongside Self 7xve 2 & most importantly the DJ Green Lantern-produced The Genius Tape, celebrating the 1-year anniversary of her final Drumwork opus this past weekend & looking to close out the Self 7xve trilogy 52 weeks later.

“Stay” produced by Haas Almahdi & S1 was a lush intro talking about having no care or fear & speaking God into her home before sleeping at night whereas “Twin” featuring Sol ChYld works in some pianos from CG confessing they’ve fallen in love again. “Price of Love” carries the keys over except the kicks & snares are replaced with hi-hats talking about paying the price of pain in exchange of affection leading into “You & Me” continuing the romantic subject matter contrasting her doing well & not so much for her partner from what she’s heard.

Haas reunites with 7xve & has Bricks da Mane co-produce my personal favorite of the 2 singles “Pedals” featuring Reuben Vincent questioning whether he truly loves her or not over a jazzy instrumental while the melodically cloudy “911” featuring Lil Sos reflects a relationship where their arguments weren’t ever merely between them. We later get some cool sampling chops on “Windows” talking about her beating the odds that were against her while “Worthy” featuring Flames dot Malik brings back the jazz thanks to Cartune Beatz teaching that it’s not love until you give some.

“Running” featuring Willyynova begins the 4th quarter of Self 7xve 3 talking about themes of escape over an EYEKETYSON instrumental while “Save Yourself” featuring Monie Love rivals the lead single for the best of the 5 collaborations forever going out their way to save themselves. “Survivor’s Remorse” hooks up more pianos to spit what she considers to possibly be the realest shit she’s ever written & “On My Own” ends the LP by talking about standing in the dust once the smoke has cleared.

Every chapter of the Self 7xve trilogy to me has it’s own level of significance when you think of the fact that the inaugural entry came out months prior to 7xvethegenius getting a label deal & the sequel came when she was halfway through her said previous contract. Of course I have to mention the last 2 installments both being extended plays & this being an actual album, marking a new era in her career under Roc Nation recalling true stories of her life with meticulous production in preparation of her & Che Noir’s long-awaited collaborative project a month from now.

Score: 4/5

Mobb Deep – “Infinite” review

Queens, New York duo Mobb Deep consisting of Havoc & the late Prodigy teaming up with Mass Appeal Records for their 9th & final album. Releasing their debut Juvenile Hell under Island Records to mixed reception, The Infamous… & Hell on Earth through Loud Records & RCA Records would both become amongst the greatest east coast LPs ever. Murda Muzik distributed by Columbia Records would also be well received, but their final Loud offering Infamy as well as the Jive Records-backed Amerika’z Nightmare & of course Blood Money during a polarizing tenure on G-Unit Records/Interscope Records all left fans divided in the 2000s. Over a decade since The Infamous…Mobb Deep however, the 4th entry of Mass Appeal’s ongoing Legend Has It saga is now here preserving the Mobb’s Infinite legacy.

“Against the World” starts with Havoc sampling jazz & soul echoing the sentiments of former rival 2Pac’s magnum Me Against the World ending with Hav telling Bandana P that he’ll see him on the other side during the outro whereas “Gunfire” produced by The Alchemist takes the boom bap route to spit lyrical bullets at their competition. “Easy Bruh” stays in the basement instrumentally suggests to take things smoothly while “Look at Me” featuring Clipse unites 2 of the greatest gangsta rap duos of all-time.

Big Noyd joins forces with “The M. The O. The B. The B.” for a sinister dedication to the group itself leading into “Down for You” featuring Nas works in a string sample for the trio to show a romantic side to all 3 of them individually. “Taj Mahal” was another great single choice even if it’s pretty much Uncle Al remixing the 2011 leaked Prodigy track “Night Life” by flipping “[The Infamous Prelude]” & Havoc adding his own verse, but then “Mr. Magik” vividly compares themselves to magicians.

“Score Points” locks in with Alchemist for the 2nd to last time taking a luxurious approach to the beat trusting the process promising to make y’all disappear like rabbits in hat tricks referring to the previous song & “My Era” marks Uncle Al’s final contribution to Infinite, reminding that Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) & The Infamous… defined the east coast 3 decades ago. “Pour My Henny” featuring Nas links back up with each other for an ode to whiskey while “Clear Black Nights” featuring Ghostface Killah & Raekwon talks about being either with them or against them.

The song “Discontinued” winds down the LP’s final act by flexing that they don’t make ‘em like the Mobb anymore over a raw boom bap instrumental & unfortunately, “Love the Way” featuring Nas is a blatant remix of the final single “Down for You” that dropped yesterday. “We the Real Thing” however makes it up for it with them giving a middle finger to the idea of rap beef since they got real drama going on such as having people out in the streets plotting to put bounties on their heads.

Infinite thus far surpasses Victory, The Emperor’s New Clothes & Supreme Clientele 2 as the greatest entry of the Legend Has It series by making a full circle moment out of the batch of unreleased Prodigy verses Havoc & The Alchemist used all over Infinite. It additionally recaptures the classically raw, dark & genuine Mobb Deep energy & sound that shaped the beloved Queensbridge duo I was thankful to see live a decade ago whilst addressing the current state of the culture.

Score: 4.5/5

Rich Amiri – “Grit & Grace” review

Here is the 5th studio LP from Boston, Massachusetts rapper & singer/songwriter Rich Amiri. Turning heads for 4 years now off the strength of his debut EP Ethereal, the 4ersona member would go on to follow it up with 6 more EPs before signing to Internet Money Records & introducing himself to a wider audience on the aptly titled Evolution followed by the sophomore effort Ghetto Fabulous. He landed a spot in last year’s XXL Freshman Class, coming off War Ready last winter to spread Grit & Grace.

“So Long” kick things off with Amiri talking about having to cut a few people off in order for him to blow up & having no regrets whereas “Lights Out” apologizes in advance if he’s been too serious since he dislikes young hoes until the buzzkill outro. “I Don’t Mind” assures that this chick will wish she picked him in a matter of time prior to “Flex N Finesse” talking about the 2 things that he likes to do.

The beat switch on “See Us Now” was enjoyable living like a player until he waits for karma gets him for all the bad he’s done in his life while the lead single “Paranoid” asks if the world’s against him or if Amiri’s buggin’. “Twin Flame” talks about feeling like he’s back in 2016 wondering how he lost his sauce when he’s the one who made it just before “Hoes Mad” turns up 1 time out of spite of these bitches.

“Homesick” starts the 2nd half with another highlight moment minimally diving into his spirituality while the final single “In & Out”responds to 9 Vicious wanting to beef with him, assuring that it had nothing to do with a woman. “Moving Dumb” talks about not fucking around with his payroll since he’s a $1M man & being made for this while “In That Mode” compares himself to a punk rockstar, cautioning that you don’t want smoke with him.

We have some cool sampling chops for the couple minutes “Never Had I” has to offer talking about focusing on stacking his cheddar & keeping his head to when his homie died since it always gets better while the rage-inducing “Brick Brick” confidently assures he’ll be fine. “Party Rock” produced by Synthetic could easily be my favorite track here dismissing a female calling him her Romeo while the closer “Code Red” talks about not coming to fuck around.

In no way am I trying to discredit Rich Amiri’s passion to expand by taking a different approach to Grit & Grace as well as taking heavy inspiration from one of my top 10 producers of all-time Ye or formerly Kanye West regardless of having to take a step back from the fandom because of his inexcusable behavior during the first half of the year, but I didn’t enjoy it as much as Evolution & Ghetto Fabulous or even War Ready mostly because the production isn’t as interesting.

Score: 3/5

Jason Martin – “A Hit Dog Gonna Holla” review

Compton, California emcee, songwriter & producer Jason Martin reuniting with Mike & Keys for his 4th EP. Originally known as Problem, he would go on to release over a dozen mixtapes as well as 4 full-length studio albums & a couple EPs. I can’t forget to mention both collaborative efforts DJ Quik, the first being Rosecrans back in 2017 & the follow-up Chupacabra days before Kendrick Lamar’s now historic 1-off Pop Out concert at the Kia Forum. Almost a whole year since Repack, they’re reuniting so A Hit Dog Gon Holla.

After the “Guns & Sandwiches” intro, “Let Me Roll My J” chops up a soul sample talking about looking to party until the sunrise whereas “Things You Learn While on the Grind” soulfully reflects on what he’s learned since hustling. “Docusign” gives off a drumless chipmunk soul vibe talking about not tripping over any obstacles while “Flu Game Jordan” continues to strip the drums so he can progress through extortion.

“We Know the Truth” continued with a hazy boom bap route talking about hearing nonstop cap spewing out these muhfuckas mouths while “Tee’d” drumlessly reminds us that everything comes with a fee instead of simply being granted to us. “Laugh Now Laugh Later” talks about how everybody be lying but after the “Goofy” skit, “Thang’s Just Ain’t the Same for Gangsters” calls back to “The Watcher”by Dr. Dre & sends off the EP being “Above the Noise”.

There was a lot of mixed reception towards the Repack last fall because of all the features on it & I’m pretty sure Jason Martin heard those criticisms since he takes up all of A Hit Dog’s Gonna Holla’s vocal performances by himself & results in an extended play that I prefer a lot more than the last 1 we got from him. Mike & Keys’ production returns to a traditional west coast sound coming off Tony Shhnow’s 8th album Self Portrait last month & Jason singlehandedly silences those who thought he had become reliant towards guests.

Score: 4.5/5

3200 Tre – “Real Mitten Baby” review

Lansing, Michigan rapper 3200 Tre surprise-releasing his 3rd studio LP. Introducing himself on wax during the fall of 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic had completely shut the world down, he has since built up his last dozen EPs along with the full-length debut Michigan Music & of course the sophomore effort 30ville all during the first half of this ongoing decade. Signing to Rio da Yung O.G.’s very own EMPIRE Distribution imprint M.I.N.E. Entertainment last summer, coming off the Spin the Block EP to tell the story of a Real Mitten Baby.

“Thug n Savage” was a cloudy trap intro suggesting to keep a switch on you at all times since a lot of people have betrayed him & knowing they’ll do it again to others whereas “Chrome Case” taps into the Detroit sound responding to those saying he ain’t rich. “GTA VI” makes witty references to Rockstar Games’ flagship franchise while “Bounce Back” confesses he’s nowhere near where he’s supposed to be.

Jakesand produces my personal favorite track here “Snapchat” talking about flying to the paper regardless of how far it is leading into “Pamper” ignoring any incoming calls unless money’s involved. Project X” featuring Babyfxce E moderately finds the pair spitting gangsta-themed lyrics over a Detroit trap instrumental while the superiorly entertaining “Pep Rally” featuring RMC Mike trades verses with each other for 2 & a half minutes.

“4 Weeks” featuring Head Osama marks the my the only guest appearance I could’ve done without despite wanting to change the whole game by pressing 1 button just before “Good Day” featuring Rio da Yung O.G. makes up for it with both of them talking about making $1M in a single day. “New Number” discusses standing on business because he’s well-known gun tucker while “The People’s Champ” heavily samples “The Sweet Escape” by Gwen Stefani.

The penultimate track “Left 4 Dead” gives a nod to the cooperative first-person shooter survival horror video game franchise that the Valve Corporation publishes, which put a smile in my face because the 2009 sequel’s amongst the greatest games of all-time. Of course I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention “Hold the Cheers”, which is the official Real Mitten Baby outro posing the question of how the fuck this cornball got motion when Tre’s nowhere near it & taking Ws.

Spin the Block was a fun Flint/Detroit sound EP to officially ring in the summer & now with Halloween approaching at the end of the month, 3200 Tre once again makes another example as to why he & his Real Money Counters brethren RMC Mike or fellow labelmates Scatz & the incarcerated Baby Ghost make M.I.N.E. Entertainment an interesting label telling the story of what it’s been like for Tre growing up as a Real Mitten Baby.

Score: 3.5/5

Flock of Dimes – “The Life You Save” review

Baltimore, Maryland singer/songwriter Flock of Dimes a.k.a. Jenn Wasner returning for her 3rd studio LP. Releasing her full-length debut If You See Me, Say Yes almost a decade ago & the debut EP Like So Much Desire during the summer of 2020, she would go to sign with Sub Pop Records debut & make her debut in the label with her sophomore effort Head of Roses the next spring. 4 & a half years later, she’s looking to outdo herself artistically with The Life You Save.

The stripped-back 2nd single “Afraid” begins the album with Jenn passionately accepting everything that’s happened & refusing to let it dictate the outcome of her & all of our lives whereas “Keep Me in the Dark” goes for an indie folk vibe asking if her body will catch up to her mind if she acts like she’s above it. “Long After Midnight” made for a bittersweet lead single carrying over the sound of the previous track & a compelling video with Jenn interacting with her inner-child while the final single “Defeat” sings about total surrender going Americana.

“Close to Home” moves from there giving off a secondary influence of electronic music feeling like it won’t be a happy ending if she’s the last one standing leading into “The Enemy” embracing a country rock vibe seeking a vision of the dark from within her. “Not Free Yet” opens up about her night terrors coming over her yet she won’t let them take her over bringing the Americana sound back into the fold while “Pride” returns to a country rock direction promising that her self-esteem won’t break her.

To begin The Life You Save’s final leg, “Theo” crosses elements of both indie folk & country advising the character who calls on her instead of God to take their heartache to the one who loved her first while “Instead of Calling” easily sticks out as the most mournful moment on the entire record hiding from her truth as she hides in her song. “River in My Arms” tells her partner she can only hold them like a tree holds to it’s leaves & “I Think I’m God” sends it all off continuing to keep going until she’s slowing.

Taking the themes of heartbreak from a dualistic perspective a few steps further, The Life You Save at it’s core is the most honestly intimate music opus in the Flock of Dimes canon story of how it feels to be trapped between the world one originally came from & the one they’ve escaped to. The production here focuses heavier around Americana, singer/songwriter & indie folk with some indie pop, indie rock, indietronica, alt-country, folktronica & dream pop hoping to provide comfort for the people still learning to live with & love themselves.

Score: 4/5

BIA – “Bianca” review

BIA is a 34 year old rapper & singer/songwriter from Medford, Massachusetts whom Pharrell signed to i am OTHER Entertainment & RCA Records when I was in high school. Her debut mixtape & her debut EP #CholaSeason & Nice Girls Finish Last: Cuidado marked her only releases for the labels, signing to Epic Records for For Certain & Really Her. Cardi B dissed her on her sophomore effort Am I the Problem? couple weeks ago & BIA’s responding with her full-length studio debut.

“October” sings for 106 seconds over some humming background vocals about refusing to make herself believe she doesn’t feel a thing at all whereas “Dade” featuring Key Glock finds the 2 teaming up to declare themselves as shapeshifters. A$AP Ferg & Denzel Curry both appear for a sequel of “We On Go” that’s energetic as the original version produced by Honorable C.N.O.T.E. while “Sad Party” talks about how people want to see each other party with someone else.

Moving on from there, “1 Thing” pays homage to Lauryn Hill with a breezily tropical hip hop single making it known that she doesn’t trust any man with 0 experience leading into “Pray for You” featuring Khalil Harrison makes for a decent attempt at ampiano. “Hard Way” featuring Becky G teams up for a bilingual Latin trap crossover looking to party tonight while “Bad Guy” seemingly responds to Cardi B’s jabs directed at her over a Turbo instrumental.

“+44” starts the 2nd half of Bianca taking the sample drill route talking about seeing face that’s unlike any other person she’s ever met while the Afrobeats-inflicted “Ready Set” runs the paper up until everyone else keeps pace with her. “Birthday Behavior” featuring Young Miko samples “Hips Don’t Lie” by Shakira talking about what they be doing on their birthdays while “Guava” hops over some horns to get unruly.

The song “N.W.F.A. (N****s Will Fuck Anything)” sets off the 4th quarter playfully talking about men being overly horny while “Awake” blends pop rap & boom bap to ask who told them that life would be easy when that’s a clear lie. “Crazy” featuring Ty$ puts a bigger emphasis on the pop rap style talking about going crazy for one another & “Trifling” was a surprisingly lush outro warning that the next bitch her man finds won’t be his next problem.

Starting the deluxe run, we’re treated to the original “We On Go” justifying the inclusion of a follow-up during the 1st half while the TiaCorine/Young Thug- inspired no melody pop rap single “Pissed Off” featuring Lil Yachty talks about being disrespected. The final bonus track “Lights Out” featuring J.I.D swaps out the no melody undertones in favor of electropop continuing to shine with the lights are dimmed.

Contrasting the question of anyone can name 5 songs in BIA’s whole discography: I’ve been paying attention to her since my adolescence when the Billionaire Boys Club/Icecream founder & future Louis Vuitton’s men’s creative director brought her on board to a major label hoping that she’d release a whole body of work that exemplified the potential of singles like “Whip It” or more recently “We On It”. And even though I do appreciate the guests & the fact that she tried to give us the clearest version of herself, some of the production lacks in my opinion.

Score: 2.5/5
