    #GuestPost | Album Review: 199x By Dallas T

    #Featured | 7 Pop Culture References on AKA’s Touch My Blood Album

    AKA outdid himself on his third studio album – because 24/7/365 is a mixtape – Touch My Blood. His mixture of conventional pop song structure, unforgettable melodies and above-grade raps renders replay value missing from what’s trending on the Mzansi rap scene currently. I picked 7 of stand-out cultural references from his verses on the…

    #Review | Odunsi’s Very RVRE Sophomore LP Knocks

    Odunsi’s the engine to Lagos’ nascent Alté scene. He revvs instinctual on his sophomore collection, drawing from 80s and 90s pop culture and personal reflections to craft a shattering, revealing, nostalgia-dipped 2018 album.
