Rating: 9/10

Rant: Vince Staples returns with his best release to date, overpassing Summertime '06 by far. This album never fails to excite and brings clever lyrical content and shows the up's and downs of his career. My favourite song on the album is Smile because of it's production and lyrics about how we should smile for him after he's left his friends and changed since he left home to become a musician. War Ready is a song of how Vince doesn't use guns to fight in war but uses his words/rapping skills. It samples lyrics from Andre 3000 from Outkast. Prima Donna, the title track features an appearance from A$AP Rocky in this high energy song. On Pimp Hand Vince discusses what elders think about what elders think about current rap and about how they shouldnt comment on current rap since it has changed since their time. Let it shine, the intro (sort of) is the darkest song on the EP. It's Vince singing This Little Light Of Mine a child's gospel song in a depressing and dark tone and right at the end of the song he takes his life. In many ways this song is actually the outro because if you listen to the EP from Big Time (the last track) to Let it shine it starts as him getting into fame then eventually killing himself. In conclusion this album really doesn't disappoint when it comes to production or lyrics.

Rant: The riffs on this album are really interesting and catchy. A little God in my hands has my favourite riff from the album. The thirty minute song Bring the Sun / Toussaint L'Ouverture" feels like a spiritual journey with its ominous sounds.

Blood Orange - Freetown Sound Review

Name: Blood Orange - Freetown Sound

Released: 28th June 2016

Genre: Indie Pop, 80's Revival, Experimental

Review: Blood Orange or Devonté Hynes releases one of his most ambitious records to date with Freetown Sound. Blood Orange has been making music for a while now and has so far made 3 records with this being his most popular. On this record Blood Orange puts out catchy song after catchy song. This album brings a special message of racism while at the same time still talking about love and relationships. This record also includes many popular guest singers such as Carly Rae Jepsen, Zuri Marley, Debbie Harry, Empress Of, Nelly Furtado and many more. The vocals provided are always energetic and exciting. The vocals on Best To You (performed by Empress Of) are my favourite vocals on the record because of their power and energy. The start of the record is a weakpoint for me because of its lack of songwriting and production but then the record later picks up. Overall the record has many fun moments and is worth listening to.

Fav Tracks: Best To You, Love Ya, Desire, Juicy 1-4, Thank You, E.V.P, Hands Up, Better Than Me

Least Fav Tracks: Augustine
