by Music

Memphis Tennessee rap group Three 6 Mafia consists of producer and rapper DJ Paul, rappers Juicy J, Lord Infamous, Koopsta Knicca, Crunchy Black, and Gangsta Boo. The group got its start on the underground rap scene of Memphis in 1990. The method of mass-producing physical cassette tapes in a homemade style, were the tools of […]

Album Review: The 1975 – A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships

by Chloë Edwards

Shortly after the release of The 1975’s second record in 2016, I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful, yet so unaware of it, eclectic frontman Matty Healy described the group to MTV as being “the biggest band in the world that nobody’s ever heard of”. Two years on, perhaps only the first half […]

Album Review: Drake – Scorpion

by Charlie Morgan

Like a flustered complaint about the weather and the resulting sunburn, a Spring/Summer Drake release has become the established annual norm. 2018 is no different; after garnering huge success with singles “God’s Plan” and “Nice for What”, as well as a well-publicised feud with rapper Pusha T, his latest double-sided LP Scorpion has been released.

Mainstream […]

by George Stamp

Categorising More Life as a ‘playlist’ is an interesting yet calculated move from Drake. It displays a sense of awareness that this material is not worthy of a formal ‘album’ status, so it makes its way onto a new type of collection. Of course, it is quite likely that the financial benefits that Drake will surely reap from […]

Album Review: Drake – Views

by Ben Londesbrough

Views, originally titled Views From The 6, is Drake’s love letter to his home city of Toronto. Since the album was announced way back in 2014, Drake has dropped a surprise mixtape If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late and collaboration album with Future What a Time to Be Alive. After two years of anticipation, […]

Track Review: Kanye West – Facts

by Charlie Morgan

Since ‘All Day’, Kanye West has focused on fashion rather than music and took a year before dropping his new song, ‘Facts’, on his Soundcloud on 31 December – ever the showman. While one would have thought his time away from music would leave his return revitalised and riveting, the fact of this matter is: […]
