We’re almost halfway through the friggin’ 20s. How is that possible? 24 was a good one for music for sure. Hoping you all have a great 25!

STEVEN RAHMAN
The Yonce – Act II Cowboy Carter:
The thing is, it’s kinda hard for me to talk about this record with resorting to a bit of hyperbole. It does some “capital A” Art things. It’s an intersectional theorists playground with a thousand different angles to analyze, but that’s only as important as the music itself. & this record is full of great music. Whatever genre you want to call it, it’s hit after hit, after hit.
Willow – Empathogen:
Willow Smith is a really good musician. At its heart Empathogen is a fusion record. It’s infectiously poppy, but it’s got weirdo time signatures, wild harmonies & unconventional song structures. It’s a very contemporary record that feels really youthful. If you like Esperanza Spalding’s Radio Music Society & Solange’s A Seat at the Table you should give this a listen.
LL Cool J – The F.O.R.C.E / Common & Pete Rock – The Auditorium Vol. 1
I’m putting these two together because they represent something similar to me. The ability to age & adapt over time, but each of these artists have done it in very different ways. Comm & Pete have worked together before & that would make you think that this sounds dated, but it’s more of a refinement on past ideas. Still boom-bap soul & jazz sample based music but with more technical capability. On the other hand Q-Tip’s experiments & deep digging make for some unusual soundscapes for one of rap’s earliest superstars. One record is a modern take on the basics, & the other an voyage into the unknown.
‘Latto – Sugar Honey Iced Tea:
I was absolutely prepared not to like this, but it knocks. Latto is a pretty talented rapper, & a very good songwriter, but what stood out to me on the first listen was the production. It’s immaculate. It SOUNDS so good & it’s perfectly sequenced.
Kendrick Lamar – GNX
What is there to say. GNX isn’t Kendrick’s best work, it’s more of a victory lap. King Kendrick won the biggest battle of the modern hip hop era, & then went on to remind everyone how dope the West Coast is. GNX is reference overdosed with vocal performances that mimic Tupac, song ideas that reference blues musicians & songs that take ideas from Nas tracks GNX manages to sound like the West unfailingly.
