Album Review: Armand Hammer - We Buy Diabetic Test Strips
“At times, the album may step one foot too far into that abyss, but billy woods and ELUCID are still operating at another level of genius entirely for the vast majority of We Buy Diabetic Test Strips, and at this point in their careers, one hand could count the number of living writers (in any medium, frankly) operating on the same level and with the same consistency.”
Album Review: Estee Nack - Nacksaw Jim Duggan
“Nacksaw Jim Duggan is a cumbersome, unfocused record that nonetheless stands out not because of any musical fairy dust sprinkled on by Gunn in his role as curator, but as a result of a yet-untapped artistic well at the juncture of his experience and Nack’s unparalleled tenacity.”
Album Review: billy woods, Kenny Segal - Maps
“Maps is in many ways a singular achievement in billy woods’ expansive canon, in no small part due to Segal one-upping their last collaboration and matching woods’ lyrical vision with a set of intimate instrumentals that prove just how much potential the duo have left to manifest.”
Album Review: JPEGMAFIA, Danny Brown - SCARING THE HOES
“For better or worse, SCARING THE HOES is as its cover implies: an album of JPEGMAFIA’s ecclectic artistry placed front and center, with Danny Brown inserted imperfectly to the side in ways that fail to make proper use of his talents.”
