The Brits: Past, Present and Future

by Chris Connor

This years Brits seemed to garner more attention than some in previous years, being dominated by Dua Lipa and Stormzy, who both took home 2 awards, and with Rag N Bone winning best British single. It is perhaps an indicator that the awards winners, much like at the Grammys, have become almost exclusively chart darlings. […]

Album Review: Black Panther

by Elliot Burr

This is, notably, a proper album, with real effort and thought put into it. The production on individual songs is high-quality, and the stack of popular artists who’ve been roped in are mostly well-used. As master of ceremonies, Kendrick Lamar takes centre stage, appearing constantly across the runtime. You won’t find any of his best […]

by Tom Murphy

Mental illness has seemingly always simmered beneath the surface of mainstream hip-hop. In the 1990s paranoia permeated throughout the lyrics of Tupac Shakur. The track ‘Suicidal Thoughts’ closes The Notorious B.I.G’s debut studio album Ready to Die, charting the depth of Biggie’s depressed state through a late night phone conversation, ending with simulated suicide. Mainstream […]

Album Review: Kendrick Lamar – DAMN.

by Tom Murphy

The atmospheric, autobiographic Good Kid, M.A.A.D City is an American college English text. To Pimp a Butterfly, arguably the most important record of the 21st century so far, has been placed in the Harvard Library, canonising its cultural significance. […]
