Got It For Cheap

Sample Song
What's Really Good – Small VVorld has the production and the features to be enjoyed even on a most immediate and shallow tip, but what makes this album a standout is when Rome shows how capable he is of peeling back those inner layers of the onion without ruining the flow of the album

Sample Song
What's Really Good – It's such a sensual, infectious sounding debut full-length that blends rap, singing, and everything in a beautiful soulful gumbo.

Sample Song
What's Really Good – The production alone would stand alone as an impeccable jazz-hop entry, but mixed with Pyramid's cosmic chill vibes the album is catapulted amongst the year's best downtempo entries
5.
Sample Song
What's Really Good – This is some eccentric high energy boom-bap that sets a breakneck pace from the beginning and manages to maintain the hype throughout

Sample Song
What's Really Good – Mike Will's production on Ransom is pretty the epitome in which every modern trap aspires. It will push your sound system to its brink, features an all-star cast of rappers, and is pretty varied sounding for such a similarly tempo'd tape.

Slant Review
What's Really Good – Future makes an album for the streets devoid of much poppy crooning and more focused on rehashing the noxious hype of breakout singles Karate Chop and Shit with mostly great success.
8.
Sample Song
What's Really Good – After seemingly focusing solely on radio ready anthems on his last effort, Luca Brasi 2 is a return to the form of sorts, with Gates sounding a bit less like a guy that's already made it and more in tune with his roots, but don't get me wrong it's still poppy and melodic.

Sample Song
What's Really Good – When French Montana teams up with Harry Fraud it's like watching Kelly Slater on his surfboard riding a seemingly insurmountable wave. French's flow is so effortless and on point and his lyrics surprisingly kind of deep that this project is a wave you'll keep navigating the ocean to find.

Sample Song
What's Really Good – French's incendiary flow and volatile delivery contrasted with the moments of self doubt and struggle make this such a well rounded, hungry sounding debut.

Sample Song
What's Really Good – Rotten is the most well-rounded diversified tape Bones has ever put, though his icy demeanor still permeates the tape to its frozen core.
12.
Sample Song
What's Really Good – It's easy to miss how versatile of a rapper Andre is due to the production just being so mindblowing; however, he definitely grows on as you after repeat listens as you realize how clever some of his wordplay is and that he doesn't seem to have many weaknesses.

Sample Song
What's Really Good – A well rounded slapper with myriad of different types of songs that all manage to sound reminiscent of old southern classics.

Needledrop Review
What's Really Good – This tape is very uneven to me, the highs are insanely hype, and the lows somehow manage to be quite boring in comparison. However, when OG Maco really dedicates himself he has pretty much no parallel short of maybe Waka on a really good day.

Sample Song
What's Really Good – It seems rare to find someone that can rap this well still making unabashed southern trap. Spodee's sound takes me back to the days when B.G., Juvenile, and The Hot Boyz were running the game.
Sample Song
What's Really Good – While I loved his last project, it just felt a bit too long and repetitive. This new album is about the size of a long EP and Ramirez delivers a more concentrated effort blending his love of old memphis occult rap and modern lighter swag rap fair.
