VULTURES 1 by ¥$, Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign - 7.5
Honestly, I was shocked this project was even released. It was definitely better than I was expecting it to be, but still not as good as it could've been. The production was great, as usual, but most of the songs didn't really stick. Like with his last few releases, I picked my faves and then called it a day -- "BURN," "CARNIVAL," and "PROBLEMATIC."
Other things I listened to:
Slow Down by Peter McPoland
YZY
"Saturn" by SZA - 8.3
Another hit from Miss Solana, but what's new?
Top Dawg/RCA
"f2g (feat. Mekdelawit) [garage mix]" by Redveil- 7.7
I underappreciated the original, but these remixes made me go back and revisit it. I liked both the garage mix and regular feature but I think I'll be returning to the regular feature more often. I found the garage mix to be a little too chaotic. Also, the visuals are SICKENING.
"Texas Hold Em" & "16 Carriages" by Beyoncé - 8.6
For those of you who didn't know, I'm kinda sorta entering my country era (NAWT too much). Some of my X faves called it, but I'm so excited that we're getting an entire country project from Beyoncé, especially since "Daddy Lessons," is such a hit. These two singles are drastically different. "Texas Hold Em," immediately clicked, but "16 Carriages," took a few more listens.
