These Are My Thoughts on the New Brockhampton Track, 1999 Wildfire
It’s been just over six months since we officially heard anything from the internet’s favourite boyband, Brockhampton, but we’ve seen their name in headlines across social media for more unpleasant reasons than a new dancey hip-hop tune. The band was set to release their latest album at the beginning of June, but after sexual assault […]
MoreAFTER THE HYPE CLASSICS — Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
And now back to our regularly scheduled presentation on Radio Friendly. APPLAUSE, MUSIC People have been screaming out for the Old Kanye. But does Kanye’s ‘best’ album still live up to the hype? Is it the classic album people say it is? After the Hype is a weekly series where I listen to an album […]
MoreAFTER THE HYPE — Post Malone’s Beerbongs & Bentleys
And now back to our regularly scheduled presentation on Radio Friendly. APPLAUSE, MUSIC Radio Friendly’s first video review. This is definitely a working progress, but it was fun and I want to make more video content. Possibly just one a month, maybe two, for now. We’ll see how we go with it all. There’s much […]
MoreAFTER THE HYPE — BROCKHAMPTON’s Saturation III
And now back to our regularly scheduled presentation on Radio Friendly. APPLAUSE, MUSIC 2017 was the year of Brockhampton. The fourteen-strong collective redefined what it meant to be a hip-hop group in 2017, aptly titling themselves as an ‘all American boy band’ incorporating rappers, producers, videographers and graphic designers. Led by the band’s maestro, Kevin […]
MoreLil Pump’s Esskeetit Isn’t That Bad
Look, I don’t want to admit it, but I like this song. I never thought I’d listen to Lil Pump, hell I didn’t think I’d vouch for Lil Yachty. But here I am photoshopping my face onto the seventeen-year-old rapper’s face. I didn’t jump on the bandwagon when Gucci Gang came about, to be honest […]
MoreAFTER THE HYPE CLASSICS: Wu-Tang Clan’s Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
And now back to our regularly scheduled presentation on Radio Friendly. APPLAUSE, MUSIC Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chamber) is an album that my mum probably wouldn’t let me listen to if I knew who Wu-Tang Clan were when I was younger. There’s swearing, violent lyrics and a lot of yelling. That’s the surface level review […]
MoreYoung Fathers’ Cocoa Sugar
I’ve never listened to Scottish band, Young Fathers before Cocoa Sugar, their latest album. Lead single In My View has been stuck in my head for days, it’s deep bass is catchy as hell as well as the soulful refrain. It’s a good mix of R&B, pop and hip-hop. And that is the case for […]
MoreAFTER THE HYPE: Kanye West’s The Life of Pablo
And now back to our regularly scheduled presentation on Radio Friendly. APPLAUSE, MUSIC It’s been just over two years since this album was released and I remember listening to The Life of Pablo by Kanye West the night it came out. I downloaded it from somewhere because it wasn’t on Spotify yet and settled in […]
MoreAFTER THE HYPE: Lil Yachty’s Lil Boat
And now back to our regularly scheduled presentation on Radio Friendly. APPLAUSE, MUSIC Over the past week I’ve been listening to Lil Yachty’s debut album, Lil Boat. A few people have asked me to write about this one, and I assume it’s because I’ve been pro-Yachty for a while even though I’m not the biggest […]
