Rapper/producer [RoviLink="MN"]Baby Keem[/RoviLink]'s name graced some high-profile productions in the late 2010s, including work with [RoviLink="MN"]Kendrick Lamar[/RoviLink], [RoviLink="MN"]ScHoolboy Q[/RoviLink], and even an appearance on the soundtrack for Disney's live-action [RoviLink="MW"]Lion King[/RoviLink] remake. With his own songs, [RoviLink="MN"]Keem[/RoviLink] embraced versatility and a lyrical persona that was flip, funny, and at times antagonistic. [RoviLink="MW"]Die for My Bitch[/RoviLink] is the strongest collection of his various approaches, with songs largely focused on destructive habits, toxic romance, and the never-ending pursuit of money and fame. [RoviLink="MN"]Baby Keem[/RoviLink] takes a different inroad to these topics on almost every song, moving from woozy, detached R&B undertones on "Honest" to aggressive trap rock on "Moshpit" (which features a bizarre moment where [RoviLink="MN"]Keem[/RoviLink] repeats the lyrics "I am [RoviLink="MN"]50 Cent[/RoviLink], bro" in an ominous haze of reverb), acoustic guitar grunge rap on "My Ex," and back to more conventional rap styles on the textural, electric piano-driven "Orange Soda." Beats switch up regularly and every song goes in a slightly different direction than the last. Throughout the various directions [RoviLink="MW"]Die for My Bitch[/RoviLink] takes, [RoviLink="MN"]Baby Keem[/RoviLink] keeps irreverent fun as the top priority. The production is lively and imaginative, and [RoviLink="MN"]Keem[/RoviLink]'s lyrics are knowingly ridiculous enough to keep things interesting. Occasional moments of absurdity sit nicely with the more straightforward elements of the mixtape, and the grab-bag feel of the various ideas colliding just serves to make the project an enjoyable, low-stakes listen. ~ Fred Thomas

Zambian-Canadian rapper [RoviLink="MN"]Backxwash[/RoviLink] first came to the public's attention with 2020's [RoviLink="MW"]God Has Nothing to Do with This Leave Him Out of It[/RoviLink], a brief but startling album that stood out due to its inventive production and cathartic lyrics about religion, mysticism, trauma, and redemption. The set was showered with acclaim from metal, hip-hop, and experimental music publications, and won the prestigious Polaris Music Prize, honoring the year's best Canadian album; however, due to its uncleared samples, from [RoviLink="MN"]Black Sabbath[/RoviLink] to [RoviLink="MW"]Eraserhead[/RoviLink], the record was removed from streaming services. 2021 follow-up [RoviLink="MW"]I Lie Here Buried with My Rings and My Dresses[/RoviLink] is heavier and bleaker than its predecessor, and ultimately feels like an artistic leap forward, even if it chronicles sinking deeper into despair and hopelessness. Mainly produced by [RoviLink="MN"]Backxwash[/RoviLink] herself, with additional contributions from [RoviLink="MN"]clipping.[/RoviLink], [RoviLink="MN"]NOWHERE2RUN[/RoviLink], and [RoviLink="MN"]Will Owen Bennett[/RoviLink], the songs layer droning metal guitars and ghastly wails over slow, forceful drums, as she frantically shouts about the terrors of her daily existence. It feels inaccurate to label her music as rap-metal, horrorcore, or industrial hip-hop, even if the elements add up to some combination of those styles. While there's unmistakably something macabre and theatrical about her performance, it never seems like she's interested in mere shock value. Her lyrics clearly come from personal experience, and attempt to relay what she's going through, particularly when her life is at its darkest. Even more than her previous album, [RoviLink="MW"]I Lie Here[/RoviLink] directly refers to [RoviLink="MN"]Backxwash[/RoviLink]'s status as a Black transgender immigrant. "Terror Packets" addresses the hardships faced during the gender transition process, from being disowned by parents to not being properly recognized by the government or the public, and "In Thy Holy Name" samples a church sermon condemning queer people and commanding them to seek deliverance. The song also features a fiery noise outro by breakcore producer and sound designer [RoviLink="MN"]Lauren Bousfield[/RoviLink], and the lyrics mourn the sudden, unexpected death of visionary electronic artist [RoviLink="MN"]SOPHIE[/RoviLink]. [RoviLink="MN"]Ada Rook[/RoviLink] of cult electro-industrial duo [RoviLink="MN"]Black Dresses[/RoviLink] provides the screamed chorus of the album's title track, perhaps its most metal-sounding moment, and adds dark guitar textures to the God-fearing "Song of Sinners," which also features a more hopeful chorus sung by [RoviLink="MN"]Sad13[/RoviLink] ([RoviLink="MN"]Speedy Ortiz[/RoviLink]). The cinematic closer "Burn to Ashes" incorporates swirling [RoviLink="MN"]Godspeed You! Black Emperor[/RoviLink] samples, which build a foundation for one of [RoviLink="MN"]Backxwash[/RoviLink]'s most dramatic performances. Throughout the album, she's told that prayer is the only solution to her problems, and in the end there are no real answers; drugs only provide temporary relief, and pandemic-induced isolation is only doing harm. There's seemingly no way out, but her pain is entirely believable, and she expresses it in a brilliant way. ~ Paul Simpson

The debut full-length album from Damon Gough (who records under the Badly Drawn Boy name) earned Britain's Mercury Prize for Best Album in 2000.

Instead of a real follow-up to "The Hour of Bewliderbeast" (look for that later in 2002), Damon Gough returns with the score to the film adaptation of the Nick Hornby novel. The 16 new tracks here are split between short instrumental pieces and full songs.

After wowing music critics and winning Britain's Mercury Music Prize for his 2000 debut album, 'The Hour of Bewilderbeast,' Damon Gough (who is the one and only member of Badly Drawn Boy) took a bit of time off, recording only the soundtrack for 'About A Boy' in the interim. He now returns with a proper follow-up, preceded by single "You Were Right."

Apart from demonstrating that his addition skills are as poor as Radiohead's, 'One Plus One' finds Damon Gough returning to the more low-key, lo-fi sound of his earlier work after the much glossier 'Have You Fed The Fish?' failed to win the British singer-songwriter new fans in 2002.
