Beyonce 'Homecoming' Documentary
Beyonce’s Homecoming is just another pin on her jacket. Homecoming to me was a unification ceremony in a musical and cultural sense. It was meant to be a collection of all that Beyonce was and will be through the lens of the HBCU experience. This woman has just refused to put out any form of mediocre content throughout her entire career. And as the Beehive was waiting patiently for a new album after the release of Lemonade, they received something better. This documentary puts any music video concept to shame and shows the blood, sweat, tears, and thought processes behind this grand staged performance.

Igor Album Review (Part 1)
Opening Remarks When I initially read the preface of the album, Tyler the Creator stated that he didn’t want any of the listeners coming in with preconceived notions before the album's release. But before I even pressed play, I had some thoughts coming in. With the name Igor, I came in thinking that the album would have a sort of old, haunted Transylvania or Notre Dame feeling. Something that wasn’t completely ode to the time period, but allowed you to see connections between the overall aesthetic of the two. I also came in perceiving the choice of beats to be grungier and more raw than that of Flower Boy. Seeing that the character Igor is quote, unquote ugly on surface level. But I also was expecting the lyrics and chorus to be comparatively lighter, seeing that Igor has an ugly exterior, but a heart of gold. As beats are generally the aspect of music, that is perceived as the surface, and choruses or lyrics are the deeper and more cognitive elements of all songs.

"Going Bad": Music Video Review
"Going Bad" is one of the top charting singles from Meek Mill's album Championships. It’s a very boastful record that doesn’t have a much deeper meaning or context. It mainly is championing the success of Meek, who has gone through so much. This is the peak, the “Championship.” Seeing that he’s won against so many past struggles. And these struggles have motivated him to get to this point.

'East Atlanta Love Letter' Review (Pt. 1)
"Unfair" — this 2 minute and16-second song seems like a prelude or narration. He speaks as if he’s narrating a past action and states that he doesn’t want his mistakes to burden him. He hopes his mistakes don’t cause the one he loves to leave him and...

Songs from the Chicago Underground (Dial Up CD Side A)
Recently I've been trying to find new music, and the hip hop/R&B collective Dial Up is what I've been searching for. Their first project released March 20 2018, and a few tracks have made permanent spots on my playlist.

Russ: 'Zoo' Music Review
Russ' second Columbia Records studio album ZOO was released yesterday. It was a follow up to the album There's Really a Wolf released in 2017. Russ is known for his "me against the world" attitude and boastful tone, which is shown in almost every step or move he takes. He created an album that remains to form but also takes a softer more introspective side of himself and his music as the album progresses.
