    Kodak Black, ‘Calling My Spirit’ | Track Review

    Perhaps the lethargic flow and distinct voice of rapper Kodak Black will appeal to some on “Calling My Spirit,” the record falls short by my estimation.

    THEY., Broken | Track Review

    R&B/hip-hop duo THEY. enlists R&B singer Jessie Reyez for their brief new single, “Broken.” It’s definitely a ‘vibe,’ but certainly not transcendent.
