Kendrick Lamar, DAMN. | Album Review 💿

Kendrick Lamar delivers his best album yet with ‘DAMN.’ The profane title is the best way to characterize the spirited, deep new project.

Calvin Harris drops another hot single with “Heatstroke,” featuring Ariana Grande, Pharrell Williams & Young Thug.

David Guetta, assisted by Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne, returns with a new sensual, energetic, dance single, “Light My Body Up.”

Mansionz, comprised of Mike Posner and blackbear, releases an incredible, ambitious debut album, fittingly titled, ‘Mansionz.’

Frank Ocean drops a new single, “Chanel” out of the blue. “Chanel” addresses Oceans’ career, money, and sexuality.

Rap up-and-comer Aminé flexes hard on his latest single, “REDMERCEDES.”

Remy Ma clearly shows her disdain for Nicki Minaj on “Shether,” a seven-minute diss track that’s unapologetic to the nth degree.

Future returns with a second surprise project, ‘HNDRXX.’ ‘HNDRXX’ features two guest artists: The Weeknd and Rihanna.

DJ Khaled returns with another ‘hot one,’ assisted by Beyoncé and hubby JAY Z on flex-track “Shining.”

ATL super rapper Future returns with another surprise project, simply titled, ‘Future.’ ‘Future’ follows 2016 surprise LP, ‘EVOL.’

Hip-hop newcomer Jidenna delivers an ambitious, enjoyable debut album with ‘The Chief.’

Lupe Fiasco returns with his sixth album DROGAS Light, an effort which has its moments, but also falls short of his best work.
