Tyga, Feel Me | Track Review 🎵

Cali rapper Tyga continues to search for hits, but once more falls short of the glory with new single, “Feel Me.”

Underrated and underappreciated Midwest rapper Tech N9ne electrifies on his latest album, ‘The Storm.’

Nicki Minaj & Mike WiLL rework Rae Sremmurd no. 1 hit “Black Beatles” as “Black Barbies.” The results remain impressive.

“Aces High,” a song performed by Serayah on the third season of Empire, suffers from the pitfalls of the soundtrack cut.

Lin-Manual Miranda and a star-studded cast strikes gold with ‘The Hamilton Mixtape,’ a compilation of covers, reinterpretations, and newbies.

A Tribe Called Quest returns for one last hurrah with ‘We Got It from Here…Thank You 4 Your Service.’ Q-Tip and company are on autopilot.

The Weeknd shows his more aggressive side on “Party Monster,” one of the final singles released ahead of STARBOY.

Macklemore delivers an exceptional, socially-relevant track about the dangers of prescription drug use on ‘Drug Dealer,’ featuring Ariana DeBoo.

Pop duo Timeflies return with a romantic new single, “Gravity.” Clearly, the M.O. is “falling in love.”

Future and Drake miss the mark on latest collaboration, “Used to This.” Essentially, the single is an empty flex track that is mediocre at best.

Common delivers a tour de force with ‘Black America Again’. Arguably, ‘Black America Again’ is his best album in years.

Common flexes on another sound pre-release single from ‘Black America Again,’ “Home,” featuring underrated R&B standout Bilal.
