We’re still waiting on that ever-elusive solo André 3000 rap album. Every time he comes back with a rare feature verse on a song, everyone is blown away. However, he swears that he doesn’t have anything to rap about anymore. “Sometimes it feels inauthentic for me to rap, because I don’t have anything to talk about in that way,” André told GQ in 2023. “I’m 48 years old. Not to […]

People who listen intently to Future know that there is quite a darkness to his music. Sure, there’s quite a bit of indulgence in women and luxury, lots of talk about the trap. But it’s not quite surface-level. The street life came with trauma; the copious amounts of women and drugs filled a void in his heart. The pain in Future’s music is evident if you dig deeper into his […]

Jay-Z famously has one of the greatest discographies in hip-hop history. You’d be hard-pressed to find a fan of the genre and culture that isn’t at least vaguely familiar with his body of work. Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint, The Black Album, all phenomenal works that add to his prestige as an artist. The deeper you dive into the rapping itself, the more rewarding it is for any growing fan. However, […]

Every great artist is in pursuit of creative independence. Prince experienced it. Frank Ocean felt it. Sometimes, the label tends to keep the artist in a box, trying to get them to repeat the things that gained them fans over and over. It’s limiting and eventually, the artist gets sick of it. Vince Staples reached this point with his old label, where they wanted a standard hip-hop album from him. […]

Some of us hip-hop fans are starting to get old. The all-time rappers we grew up with and watched become superstars have become fathers. Now, some of those kids are branching out, carving out their own paths and sounds. Two of them come from Kanye West and Lil Wayne as North West and Lil Novi, respectively. The two of them paired up again after their January collab “Justswagup” with a […]

YG has become like West Coast rap royalty over the years. From the most addictive DJ Mustard hits to grizzled street anthems, he has timeless records within his catalog. However, like most artists within the music industry, he got jaded. Eventually, he went through the motions and did what he was told to by the label. Music became just another job after a while. Admittedly, the Still Brazy rapper told […]

It’s not often you get a rising star like Baby Keem effectively vanish from the public eye. You would think someone in his position would maximize his catchy music and his relationship with Kendrick Lamar back in 2021. That simply wasn’t his reality, though, not releasing another album until February 2026 with CA$INO. What’s even more surprising is that the album wasn’t quite the blockbuster effort we got with The […]

Soundgarden was always one of the heavier grunge bands of the 90s scene. It turns out there’s a very good reason for that. The band’s guitarist, Kim Thayil, has revealed that his early musical influences were some of the heaviest metal bands of the 80s. Like Metallica and Exodus. During a guest appearance on the Turned Out A Punk podcast, Thayil was asked about Soundgarden’s signing to A&M. This was their first […]
