    Meow the Jewels
    The amount of enjoyment you take out of this is undoubtedly directly proportional to the amount of money you put into Meow the Jewels.

    What A Time To Be Alive [Mixtape]
    This is a decent mixtape that you'll happily spin for up to a fortnight, I reckon. But it's a hook. It's a sample to get you addicted.

    90059
    It's surprisingly deep, well produced and definitely worth your time. It is by no means exceptional.

    The Meth Lab
    As a mixtape, it works, but is nothing more than generic New York street rap set to some largely forgettable instrumentals.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Lucky 7
    The album's best moments come courtesy of the newer, younger emcees, highlighting the different hunger levels on display.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    PeteStrumentals 2
    Petestrumentals 2 is a worthy follow up to "Petstrumentals," and a must-listen for any fan of Pete Rock or instrumental hip-hop.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Ego Death
    Ego Death is the perfect summer record. Breezy, smooth, lazy, and meant for warm nights.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Yung Rich Nation
    Migos don't glorify the trap, they reflect it, and when the hood doesn't need the trap then there won't be "Trap Funk" any more.
    • 80 Metascore

    DS2
    If you can get into the fantasy and ignore the reality then DS2 might be good escapist music for a little while.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Compton
    After three decades in the music business, it's inspiring to see him deliver an excellent album: overseeing it, driving his guests/writers/producers onto greater things and delivering it in an interesting way is no mean feat. His voice has matured.
    • 64 Metascore

    Love Story
    Much of Love Story is tepid, but there are moments where Yela nails the singing/rapping combination.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Summertime '06
    Summertime '06 is extremely cohesive, but occasionally tiptoes on being monotonous.
    • 72 Metascore

    Barter 6
    It's cotton candy hip-hop that's enjoyable to consume but has no real substance.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    FWA (Free Weezy Album)
    Free Weezy Album is on the whole decidedly mixed. Weezy still has his swagger, and with a little more effort he could add some substance to go along with it.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Music for My Friends
    It's not as consistently good as "The Salvation", or as instantly satisfying as his work with Torae, but with recent months slowing down on the incredible start we've had in 2015 for albums, this is certainly worth checking out.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Dreams Worth More Than Money
    This is one to spin a couple of times, then never again.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The Epic
    It is an album that pushes boundaries and yet is always listenable and relatable, even at its most intricate and complex.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    At.Long.Last.A$AP
    A$AP's charisma and finesse mostly compensate for his shortcomings as a lyricist. That, combined with the trippy heaviness of Danger Mouse's production, make "A.L.L.A." an album worth spending time with, even dead sober.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    Major Without a Deal
    He's a hollow rapper with no unique trait or style. He drifts through songs such as "Love You/How I'm On It" and "Young King" with no real concept of flow or knowing when to change tone.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Every Hero Needs a Villain
    On their self-titled debut, they were having fun. This time, they had fun but with focus.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Fated
    If you are in the right mindset, Fated is a rewarding listen.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Have a Nice Life
    Some areas of this album [are] a little redundant.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Good Fight
    Oddisee makes good music that deals with real life issues with wisdom and humility. Oddisee is not only fighting "The Good Fight," he's winning.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Fly International Luxurious Art
    1 and 2 and lack the incentive and inspiration even great rappers need to make great albums, but it's an impressive compendium of what Shallah Raekwon is capable of.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Bush
    The drawbacks to Bush are few and far between though, and even these complaints are more like minor annoyances.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Ludaversal
    The problem Ludacris faces is that both sides of him are great to listen to but it inevitably restricts him from making the cohesive magnum opus his career deserves.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Album About Nothing
    The soulful production, harnessing plenty of live instrumentals, mixes well with the lingering hints of MMG production.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Mr. Wonderful
    Though Bronson does try new things on his first major-label outing, he still includes his characteristic lyrical qualities along with elements from past releases. In a sense, he's re-introducing himself.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    I Don't Like Shit: I Don't Go Outside
    I Don't Like S#%! sees Earl continuing to mature and grow as an artist.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Blade of the Ronin
    Blade of the Ronin has its own artistic ambitions that aren't duplicative of its predecessor, all resemblances notwithstanding. Vast Aire and Vordul Mega have shown on this record that, as a duo, they stand alone and aren't defined by their producer.
