• The High & Mighty – Sound Of Market | Review 7 June 2025
  Sound of Market is a heavy, head-nodding return from The High & Mighty that doesn’t chase relevance or trends. Instead, it digs deep into their own lane—grimy, punchline-packed rhymes over rugged, loop-driven beats with enough vinyl crackle and backspins to light up any old head’s memory bank. This isn’t a comeback record that tries to […]

• Little Simz – Lotus | Review 6 June 2025
  Little Simz’s sixth album, Lotus, is a raw, introspective dive into her psyche, shaped by betrayal and resilience.

• Aesop Rock – Black Hole Superette | Review 30 May 2025
  Aesop Rock, born Ian Bavitz, has been a singular voice in Hip Hop since the late ‘90s, known for his dense lyricism, surreal imagery, and a delivery that tumbles across beats like a runaway freight train with a dictionary duct-taped to the front.

• Yugen Blakrok – The Illusion Of Being | Review 21 May 2025
  Yugen Blakrok doesn’t release albums often, but when she does, the world shifts slightly. The Illusion of Being is her third full-length project, and it’s another masterclass in intellectual Hip Hop built from shadowy textures, dense wordplay, and unpredictable turns. At 13 tracks deep, it’s a dark, challenging listen—structured more like a philosophical cipher than […]
