Nicki Minaj – Queen | Video Review

We’re looking at Nicki Minaj’s fourth studio album Queen, her first since the chart-topping success of 2014’s The Pinkprint. Since Nicki’s four year absence her status as top female MC has come under question after the breakout success of Cardi B.

Deaf Havana – Rituals | Video Review

Deaf Havana return with their fifth studio album, Rituals. A flimsy collection of Christianity-themed lazy Pop songs that grates almost immediately.

Not3s – Take Not3s II | Video Review

Not3s returns with his sophomore EP Take Not3s II, sequel to 2017’s project. The original tape was great exposure for the Hackney rapper/singer, Take Not3s created the viral hit “Addison Lee (Peng Ting Called Madison)” which only peaked #57 but established his style. While similar to fellow Afrobeat afficiando J Hus, Not3s has created his own lane and recently appeared on charting songs...
