MEET M CITY JR

M City JR is back. After a 3 year hiatus, the Detroit MC releases his newest single “Rollin Roaches”. The new video debuted on YouTube earlier this week.

M City JR first broke on the national scene in 2016 with his hit single “Addicted to My Ex“. The song broke the top 20 Billboard charts as an independent artist before gaining the attention of Atlantic and reaching Gold Status.

KENDRICK LAMAR DROPS “GNX”

On Friday afternoon KENDRICK LAMAR decided to pop out and release “GNX” to the masses. His sixth studio album to date already is setting records and addressing everything that encompasses the Compton MC. It’s the unexpectant manner of this release that makes Lamar a master of the anti-rollout. Pitchfork Magazine reports that since the start of the year, he’s turned 12 words’ worth of X posts and a couple of tracks accompanied by still images to Instagram into an era-defining rap beef, a number-one single, and a booking to perform at the Super Bowl LIX halftime show, in New Orleans.

The 12 track EP has turned the genre on it’s collective ear. Kendrick wasted little time nor bars speaking on everyone including Drake, Snoop Dogg and Lil’ Wayne. Lamar was given the nod to perform at this year’s Super Bowl over Wayne who is from New Orleans. Let’s tap in to this remarkable album!

WHAT TO EXPECT

Kendrick Lamar, known for his lyrical prowess has never been one to not speak his mind. This is evident on the track “Wacced Out Murals.” One example was when he spoke on West Coast veteran Snoop Dogg. K-Dot spits “Snoop posted ‘Taylor Made,’ I prayed it was the edibles/I couldn’t believe it, it was only right for me to let it go/Won the Super Bowl and Nas the only one congratulate me.” Check out “Wacced Out Murals” down below:

“GNX” contains tracks with some of the dopest samples heard in a long time. For example, the track “Luther” is one of the smoothest grooves on the album. Kendrick pairs up with SZA once again to create sonic bliss. Check it out down below!

EDITOR’S TAKE

Kendrick Lamar continues to usher in the notion of good music that’s been evident all year. In 44 minutes, K-Dot flexed on the industry with an album that solidifies his status in the game. This is a great way for Lamar to close out the year in front of his upcoming Super Bowl performance.

After giving the album a full listen, my pick from “GNX” is “The Heart Pt. 6.” I was anticipating this track ever since Drake decided to add his version of it to the rap beef saga. The SWV sample is top tier and one of the dopest tracks on the EP. Check it out down below!
