Fabolous - The S.O.U.L. Tape 2

A Thanksgiving release saw Loso rocking over some more soulful production. The first SOUL tape was severely underrated because he wasn’t spitting on hard hitting beats, people didn’t show it any love until they saw videos. Soul tape was one of the best projects to come out last year, now he’s back with a sequel and the second volume of The S.O.U.L. Tape follows in line with the first instalment with regards to its sound. He kept the vibe and the music kind of soulful, sample-influenced. Funeral Fab can never go wrong with bars and punchlines.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - The Heist (Deluxe Edition) [2012]

To be honest I was sleeping on them and its been a rude awakening. The Heist is not your average rap album, nor was there any indication it would be. Yes, some could call it conscious rap but the lightness and lyrical wit quashes those claims. Independent won’t sound as good as mainstream? That one’s gone too. Every rapper, no matter their background, has a unique story to tell. Yet, most choose to disclose little, if anything, that directly displays their individuality. Macklemore does the opposite. Sure, chunks of his story, within itself, deviate from what hip-hop is used to; the tale of a White kid from the Pacific Northwest who has battled...
