Throw up one hand on the steering wheel, slide in Late Registration, and drive slow, homie.
Kanye West’s second studio album takes you back to the days of pure hip-hop rhythm, where the word’s didn’t succomb to the pressure of the beat. In step with his education themed predecessor, The College Dropout, Kanye packs in mad truth about the hard-knock life of growing up in the ghettos of Chicago. Ye's lyrical ingenuity never fails to disappoint, and his fresh beats will have you thumping all night long. Be ready to connect with the kid from Chi-Town.
Another spitfire from Brooklyn, the new boy on the block, Hoodie Allen, is settling in just fine. His debut studio album, People Keep Talking, debuted at #8 on the Billboard 200, and peaked at #2 on iTune’s within a matter of days. His fast freestyling, upbeat beats, and the clever verses he throws in to showcase his genius makes his music acutely appealing. With collaborations ranging from G-Eazy to Ed Sheeran, Hoodie has already dipped his toes into stardom. Though he's newer to the game than most, this white boy rap god is not waiting on the stars to align. And neither should you. Go get this album.
