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

TiaCorine – “Corinian” review

Winston-Salem, North Carolina rapper & songwriter TiaCorine coming off some of her biggest singles with an official sophomore effort. Blowing up earlier this decade with her debut mixtape The Saga of 34Corine as well as the debut EP & full-length debut I Can’t Wait, her last EP Almost There marked Tia’s major label debut after signing to Interscope Records & is looking to make her biggest waves yet with Corinian following a couple successful teasers.

Saweetie appears for the decent pop rap/trap intro “Pretty” talking about their bank accounts saying heavy as well as having too many men & bitches wanting to end them because of it whereas the 3rd & my favorite single “Ironic” makes up for it from the pluggy Kenny Beats instrumental to the more deadly lyricism. “Buttercup” crosses over some synthesizers & guitars from Kenny talking about being a pop star prior to “Lotion” featuring Flo Milli letting those who don’t know how shit goes around their parts.

“Fall in Love” was probably my least favorite single of the 3 although I do appreciate the funk-soul sample approaching the concept of love the same way she always has in the past while “Cutting Ties” cloudily talks about switching sides like it’s a remix severing all associations with the person she has in mind. “High Demand” featuring Smino trades verses with each other for a romantic pop rap duet leading into “Was Hannin’?” featuring Wiz Khalifa advise us to put your money where your mouth is.

Meanwhile on “Booty”, we have Tia taking aim at a bitch who stays doing anything except minding her own business while the lead single “Different Color Stones” produced by Pooh Beatz talks about being stacked up nowadays & for anyone broke to back the fuck up. “La La La” attempts at pulling influences from Latin trap & resulting in one of Corinian’s weaker moments while the 2nd single “Ate” boisterously talks about nobody being able to take her spot.

“Backyard” featuring J.I.D was another single that I was highly impressed with whether it be Hit-Boy experimenting with trap metal or the sexually energetic chemistry between both MCs while the cloudy trap fusion “Crush” refuses to put anyone before her money. “Iced Out Kirby” minimally paints images of her materialistic lifestyle & once “Damn Right” featuring Pouya shuts down those who ain’t about it, “Impossible Girl” closes with her giving it all she’s got.

Finishing a trilogy that I Can’t Wait began & Almost There bridged, Corinian lets the world inside of TiaCorine’s very own metropolitan utopia balancing grit & vulnerability to realize her full-potential almost halfway through the decade. Showcasing her sharp lyricism & capturing her evolution since signing to a major label, she playfully yet powerfully steps fully into the artist she’s always envisioned herself to be amassing some notable guests & producers along the way.

Score: 4/5

Princess Nokia – “Girls” review

New York City rapper, singer/songwriter & actress Princess Nokia following up her double sophomore effort Everything Sucks, Everything’s Beautiful with her 3rd studio LP. Introducing herself off the full-length debut Metallic Butterfly over a decade ago, her expanded 1992 extended play following her debut mixtape Honeysuckle broke her out into stardom & her 2nd EP A Girl Who Cried Red was a disappointing look at her emo influences. Everything Sucks, Everything’s Beautiful left people divided & her 4th EP I Love You, But This is Goodbye under Arista Records after Magnolia wasn’t any better. I was however optimistic going into Girls since it’s been a minute.

After the “Girl FM” intro, the first song “Blue Velvet” is a somber boom bap opener calling out her abusers/rapists whereas “Medusa” embraces an industrial trap metal vibe likening herself to the Gorgon known beyond Greek mythology. “Period Blood” awkwardly talks about finding something sexy regarding menstruation & her autism making her tick, which I as an autistic person myself never knew she had.

“Matcha Cherry” embraces a heavy pop rap sound for an ode to femininity just before “Drop Dead Gorgeous” blends electropop, dance-pop, electro hop, midtempo bass & pop rap to finish the 1st half of Girls talking about her preference in women who like scream queen & are beauty pageant killers. “Gossip Girl” references The CW’s teen drama series of the same name taking shots at other females who tend to be trash while “Beach Babe” hangs out by the pool desiring to be a mermaid.

The self-produced “Pink Bronco” sings about being fed up with trying to survive & wanting to take the soft girl life easy over some violins after another “Girl FM” interlude, “Phoebe Philo” gives her flowers to the English-French fashion designer of the same name who launched her own quiet luxury brand 24 months ago. “Art Star” closes Nokia’s comeback with a minimalistic hip hop approach talking about finally understanding herself & her process.

Celebrating this new phase of her life, Princess Nokia honors the part of her that always had her own things by making the newest entry in her discography Girls the most gratifying piece of music I’ve heard from her in quite some time because of it’s presentation as this perspectively unique guidebook of living a fulfilling life portraying the realistic duality of girlhood it be the highs of hanging out with all of her friends besides her or the lows of predators & the rise of misogyny.

Charles Lloyd – “Figure in Blue” review

Charles Lloyd is an 87 year old tenor saxophonist & flautist from Memphis, Tennessee with over 2 dozen full-lengths under his belt already since the late 50s. He has spent the last decade with my favorite jazz label of all-time Blue Note Records dropping exemplary late career material that includes I Long to See You as well as Tone Poem & The Sky Will Still Be There Tomorrow. However, he’s following up the latter with his 32nd full-length comprised of 2 discs containing 7 songs each.

“Abide with Me” begins with this calming intro working in a saxophone & Jason Moran playing piano whereas “Hina Hanta, The Way of Peace” moves forward by delivering a nearly 8 minute post-bop composition keeping the keys & sax in tact. “Figure in Blue, Memories of Duke” remembers the late Duke Ellington letting Jason shine more instrumentally just before “Desolation Sound” lets Charles take the spotlight with his saxophone once more.

Meanwhile on “Ruminations”, we have guitarist Marvin Sewell accompanying Charles Lloyd & Jason Moran for 10 & a half more minutes of peacefully improvisational post-bop leading into “Chulahoma” focusing more around the saxophone & guitar. Reaching the halfway point, “Song My Lady Sings” brings all 3 instrumentalists together for a serene 8 & a half minute post-bop jam while “The Ghost of Lady Day” starts the 2nd act with a Billie Holiday rendition.

“Blues for Langston” gives his flowers to the late Langston Hughes” until we’re treated to a couplet of Duke Ellington covers: “Heaven” & “Black Butterfly”. The song “Ancient Rain” takes up 111 seconds with a tenor saxophone while “Hymn to the Mother, for Zakir” takes a moment to remember the late Zakir Hussain. The closer “Somewhere” finishes Figure in Blue with Charles & Jason playing piano & tenor sax for the LP’s final 4 & a half minutes.

Spaciously travels wide expanses of musical terrain from beautiful ballads to raw Delta blues, the 4th full-length Charles Lloyd has created since signing to Blue Note Records could be the most heartfelt entry in his entire discography reflecting everything that’s defined his entire life. Combining original & re-recorded material for an autumnal double album, he salutes those who inspired him over 6 decades ago with an hour & a half long memoir.

Score: 3.5/5

Action Figure 973 – “The Most Interesting Man in the World” review

Danish producer Machacha fully producing the official sophomore effort of Belleville, New Jersey emcee/producer Action Figure 973. For a while at this point, Act-Lo’s first 2 mixtapes followed by 9 EPs & the full-length debut DOOM Was Right merely 5 months ago giving flowers to one of my all-time personal favorite albums Madvillainy have all established himself as a promisingly skilled luchador who so happens to rap. It’s almost been a couple months since he taught us some Ring Psychology & is making his case in being The Most Interesting Man in the World.

“2 Ships Passing at Night” after the intro works in some drumless sampling to talk about his next move leaving people shook whereas “Here Comes the Money” featuring Pinnland Empire references former WWE Hardcore Champion & WWE Tag Team Champion Shane McMahon. “You Can’t Teach That” hooks up a piano talking about his shit being high level art while “Twin Towers” featuring Andre DeSaint gives a nod to the former WWE tag team of the same name consisting of former WWE United States Champion 1 Man Gang alongside the late WWE Hall of Famer, 4-time WWE Hardcore Champion & WWE Tag Team Champion Big Boss Man.

AEW commentator, former 2-time ECW World Heavyweight Champion, the inaugural 2-time FTW Champion, 2-time ECW World Television Champion, 3-time WWE Hardcore Champion & 4-time WWE tag team champion Taz gets sampled at the very beginning of “Non-Title Match” leading into “Toys “R” Us” referencing former GCW World Champion, NWA World Jr. Heavyweight Champion, 2-time NWA World Tag Team Champion, PWG Tag Team Champion, ROH World Champion, ROH World Tag Team Champion, TNA World Tag Team Champion & TNA X Division Champion Homicide.

“Omar’s Cafe” featuring SHVMIRE starts the final leg of The Most Interesting Man in the World needing love & money playing with a chip on his shoulder while “Meadowlands Horse Races” featuring Heartbreak Julio & Jalen Frazier references 6-time WWE world champion Seth Rollins set to face the current 2-time WWE Champion Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel VII next weekend. “Lincoln Theater” finishes the LP by thanking God for helping him get out of the sunken place he was in for a while.

In preparation for the inaugural 4th Rope World Tag Team Champions & current 4-time TNA World Tag Team Champions The Hardy Boyz looking to defeat DarkState for their 10th WWE tag team championship at Tuesday’s upcoming NXTNA Showdown or former HoG Heavyweight Champion Mike Santana ending Trick Williams’ reign as TNA World Champion & the current TNA Knockouts World Champion Kelani Jordan retaining her title against the current HoG Women’s Champion Indi Hartwell at Bound for Glory XXI, the finest producer in Denmark produces another exhilarating entry to start the final quarter of Action Figure 973’s most prolific year.

Waylon Jennings – “Songbird” review

Waylon Jennings was a 64 year old singer/songwriter, musician, producer & actor from Littlefield, Texas notable for pioneering the outlaw country subgenre of country music. Standouts in his discography include Lonesome, On’ry & Mean, Honky Tonk Heroes, This Time, The Ramblin’ Man, Dreaming My Dreams & of course his output with The Highwaymen. However, the 3rd posthumous album albeit 47th overall in Waylon’s discography was unearthed last summer & it’s finally available everywhere.

The title track tenderly covers the Fleetwood Mac single of the same name off the band’s magnum opus Rumors whereas “The Cowboy (Small Texas Town)” from the I’ve Always Been Crazy sessions sings about Waylon’s humble beginnings. “I’d Like to Love You Baby” continues with a rendition of J.J. Cale song from his 3rd album Okie leading into “I’m Gonna Lay Back with My Woman” covering the outro of The Junkie & the Juicehead – Me.

Crystal Gayle’s debut single “Wrong Road Again”gets covered to reach the halfway point of Songbird just before “I Hate to Go Searchin’ Them Bars Again” goes for a barroom vibe singing about drinking too much in search of love. “The Brand New Tennessee Waltz” covers a song from Jesse Winchester’s eponymous debut while “(I Don’t Have) Anymore Love Songs” serves as a rendition of the highlight off the Merle Haggard classic Back to the Barrooms.

“After the Ball” starts the final moments of Songbird with Waylon recording his own version off the final full-length that Johnny Cash wrote solely by himself The Rambler conceptually themed around The Man in Black traveling that I find myself enjoying as much as the original version of it & the closer “Dink’s Song” retells the traditional folk story of a woman deserted by her lover when she needs him the most.

Waylon’s son Shooter has already said that Songbird was going to be the first of 3 brand new posthumous recordings from his father & the inaugural entry of this trilogy digs up 10 tracks made between 1973 & 1984 reintroducing a man who made outlaw country what it is today to a new generation of listeners. For a great deal of it consisting of covers, he breathes new life into them from beyond the grave & am hoping that there’s more material in the vaults that he wrote himself.

Score: 4/5

Autumn! – “Rolling Stone” review

Lafayette, Louisiana rapper, singer/songwriter & producer Autumn! starting the 4th quarter of 2025 with his 6th LP. Gaining traction off all 22 of his previous EPs & a full-length debut on SoundCloud since 2018 prior to signing to Victor Victor Worldwide & Republic Records succeeding the Not Much Left EP, he made his major label debut 3 years ago with his sophomore effort Antagonist! as well as following it up with the last 2 installments of the Golden Child trilogy & Midnight Club. Wick delivered a sequel to Solitary last spring, You Never Was Mine in the summer & ##B4B2MR in the winter. After going Back 2 My Roots this spring, he’s taking on the persona of a Rolling Stone.

The self-produced “Hermes Carpet!” opens with a pluggnb intro telling his ex that her new man can’t ever take his spot whereas “Keys to the Benz!” psychedelically talks about trying to see what’s going through his lover’s mind. “Eddie Wuncler!” gives off a bit of a drum & bass vibe venting over a woman trying to get with him prior until the confidentially tropical “Trip to the Islands!” talks about never getting back what was stolen from him.

“Rebound!” reaches the halfway point of the album with an ambient plugg direction discussing champagne being the only kind of pain he knows while “Tired of Running!” talks about wanting to make this chick his. “Caught in Your Storm!” describes the certain type of fire in his partner’s eyes on the pluggnb tip while “Waiting for Love!” promises to rob anyone who fuck with his romantic interest over a vocal sample.

The song “Private Locations” begins to wrap up Rolling Stone’s final moments with Wick talking about going from filling out job applications almost a decade ago to becoming a rockstar meeting with hoes discreetly while “When You Left! / 1 Way! 3” finishes twinuzis’ 2nd full-length of 2025 in the form of a 2-parter thanking the ex that inspired him to make the biggest song of his career, which the 2nd half is the trilogy chapter of.

“No More Talking!” starts the deluxe run with a psychedelic plugg beat making it clear that some of the money he be making isn’t all clean while “Get Out the Way!” shares that very same advice to anybody in his face who’s broke. The rage-inducing “Canon Event!” talks about being in the fast lane & after “Better Off Alone!” admits he was lost for a second, “Finally Rich!” finds himself unable to resist flexing on his competition.

We get some synthesizers during “No Breaks!” talking about being under the impression at a hoe made a wish in the shooting star a.k.a. his Wraith while “Critical!” explaining that this paper is all he’s getting as of late. “Chopsticks!” warns that he carries 2 Glocks on him as if he’s Mad Max & the final bonus track “Devil in Miami!” talks about praying for a woman who met Lucifer himself in the 305.

Standing beside Back 2 My Roots in terms of being the greatest material Autumn! has made since signing to 10K Projects regardless of the latter from this spring feeling repetitive to others, his production on this one primarily focuses on the styles of pop rap as well as trap & alternative R&B rather than maintaining the plugg/pluggnb origins he returned to 6 months ago giving a glimpse of where he’s at in his career almost heading into 2026.

Detroit YB – “Losses 2 Lessons” review

Detroit, Michigan rapper & Hustle By Any Means Records founder Detroit YB returning after 4 years to release his 3rd studio LP. Breaking out by dropping the 3:13 & The Heart of My City EPs back-to-back almost a decade ago already, he would go on to follow it up with the full-length debut Hustle SZN & the sophomore effort caught himself finding Beauty in the Struggle. 4Closure was a great EP too & he’s back after so long to talk about him turning Losses 2 Lessons calling to make Jesus great again.

After the titular intro, the first song “A Talk with Jesus” starts up with a ghostly trap opener talking about desiring to connect with people on higher measures whereas “Mark 836” asks what good is it for someone to gain the whole world yet forfeit their soul. “Home Run” reflects on going from being to the backseat of the ride to the front & after the “Spoken Pain” interlude, “Adopted Pain” talks about being used to the style of living he’s accustomed to.

“Back Against the Wall” continues by proclaiming himself to be the one to call whenever anyone needs help making movement without breaking laws while “Aesthetics” talks about biters stealing his flow only to blow it because they can’t walk in his shoes. “The Vessel” featuring Fenesse the World finds the 2 teaming up to advise know where you’re going when leaving above the surface while “Toxic Whirlwind” talks about being meant to part ways with an ex.

After the “James 44” interlude, “Compromised” kicks off the 2nd half of the album by addressing his upbringings for almost 3 minutes whether it be starting out beatboxing or knocking someone up resulting in abortion while “13th Round” meshes some bells & hi-hats to talk about being in a whole different fight now. “Taking Up Space” works in some pianos & strings to buy himself peace after the pain he’s experienced while “Heaven Worth It” talks about those thinking like snakes still being serpents.

“Word Play” featuring Phenell puts their pens to the test seeing whose wordplay is the strongest while “Trip 2 Belize” takes a moment to think all by himself. After the “T.B.U.” interlude, “Thinking Bout U” recalls the first time he met his soulmate feeling like magic while “Neva Gona Lose” talks about not catching any Ls. “Make Things Right” soulfully wraps things up promising he’d fix things if he had his way.

It’s been quite some time since Detroit YB has had an entire body of work by himself excluding the Forever Soulo collaborative project with 1Way Monte over 21 months ago, but his transformation of Losses 2 Lessons breaks down his personal growth since the current decade nears the end of the halfway point taking us through the point of view of God himself providing tons of positive affirmations full of problem solving & healing.
