THE END IS NEAR AB SOUL ALBUM CRACK

In those 6 years, not much was heard from Soul besides the occasional single during 2020. in 2016, Ab-Soul has returned with the release of HERBERT. There is no doubt that Boldy James knows what he is talking about in his raps, which makes his ability to put it into such sonically tight albums even more impressive.įavorite Tracks: All the Way Out, Game Time, Killing NothingĦ years after the release of Do What Thou Wilt. The best way to describe this album is street rap at its most pure. James is able to have such tight and clever wordplay about topics that would get him parental advisory warnings just for mentioning in public. Boldy James continues his stellar run of projects, continuing with his second project this year, a collaboration with producer Nicholas Craven in Fair Exchange No Robbery (which Killing Nothing is getting the edge over from me). Which makes it so much more impressive that I was as hooked as I was on it from the get go. While I may be able to relate to other albums on this list for their themes of love and affection with MORE BLACK SUPERHEROES or themes of growing up on Learn 2 Swim, Killing Nothing has nothing that I can personally relate to.

THE END IS NEAR AB SOUL ALBUM CRACK

The first album to crack the top 10 for me will be the second collaboration between Boldy James and LA collective Real Bad Man. Killing Nothing by Boldy James & Real Bad Man While Nas may not ever be able to pass the triumph that is Illmatic, Nas further cements his legacy as one of the greatest ever with each new album he releases at this point.įavorite Tracks: Ghetto Reporter, I’m on Fire, Michael & Quincy Even while pushing 50 years of age, Nas is able to keep up with artists half his age with ease. Even at his lowest in his career, Nas was always able to flex his muscles lyrically and this album is no different. Nas is aided by Hit-Boy on this album for production, lending to some of the best production Nas has had in his career for an album.

Nas continues his streak of recent, following the release of the prior two King’s Disease albums and personal favorite of mine Magic from last year. If there were any apprehension among the rap community about Nas’ abilities as he grows older, they were reassured on why he is one of the greatest to ever to do it with this album. The 12th spot goes to the second trilogy album on this list with Nas’ King’s Disease III.

No topic is off limit with BOOGIE but he still has a soft spot for love songs with songs like “NONCHALANT” or “CAN’T GET OVER YOU.” With a deluxe version of the album being released earlier this year as well, now is the best time to check out this unique project from BOOGIE.įavorite Tracks: NONCHALANT, CAN’T GET OVER YOU, ANTHONY (WAR) MORE BLACK SUPERHEROES keeps with BOOGIE’s ability to make catchy tracks while bringing a punch lyrically, and with his distinct voice BOOGIE has been able to carve out a sonically unique corner of rap. I had kept an eye on his career since I felt personally invested in his growth as an artist and after the release of MORE BLACK SUPERHEROES I decided I wanted to step back into his music and see how he was doing. 2 way back in 2017 with tracks like Sunroof (still a personal favorite of mine). I first found WESTSIDE BOOGIE when he was still going by Boogie right after the release of his third mixtape Thirst 48, Pt. BOOGIE follows up his critically acclaimed 2019 album Everything’s For Sale with more of the same while further refining his sound. Number 13 will be going to Compton rapper WESTSIDE BOOGIE and his album MORE BLACK SUPERHEROES. MORE BLACK SUPERHEROES by WESTSIDE BOOGIE
