Every Sick, Disgusting Thought We've Got in Our Brain - The Venetia Fair IllustriousQ – My Ears Are Ready 2016!

If you’re looking for a band that’s basically a mixt There For Tomorrow and Coheed and Cambria. This is for you. I like it, but I’ll think it’ll take me a little more time to get into it fully. There instrumentation is sick and I love that the little piano sections they incorporate into their sound.

The best thing white people can do is talk to each other, having those very difficult, very painful conversations with your parents, with your family members. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (Ft. Jamila Woods) – White Privilege II

Race is one of the biggest reasons for humans to segregated on the basis of “color.” This is a problem for the Black Diaspora as whites are very ignorant to their innate supremacy because of their skin.

These conversations are most likely to happen in the Black community or a family whom participates in transracial adoption.

Inhale - Sirah IllustriousQ – My Ears Are Ready 2016!

I will gladly inhale and choke on the smoke from the amount of fire on this little project. I never knew this was the “shout out to my lost boys” girl from Skrillex’s “Bangarang” She’s got a similar voice to Nova Rockafeller, with a little touch of OnCue and her bar game is on point.

She can also sing,, but she doesn’t let that her melodic side strip her away from being well versed, as well as well-written. “You Know You Want It” gets the calm head-nod going. That first line draws you in with that circle jerk metaphor haha.

“Life’s only a bitch, ‘cause it’s a man’s world” – line is tough.

Malibu - Anderson Paak IllustriousQ – My Ears Are Ready 2016!

Love this shit, it’s like if Kendrick Lamar met Hall & Oates – a smooth funk with rap verses. That funky verse from Q on “Am I Wrong” and Rapsody is always perfect on chill melodies with mellow beats (Reminded me of her verse on “Complexion (A Zulu Love))"

Very good album and it’s worth the listen. I guarantee it. Love this song!

These Days - Mike Stud IllustriousQ – My Ears Are Ready 2016!

Always loved how Mike mixes it up on his albums. This one is a lot shorter compared to previous releases but I can’t say there’s a song I don’t like. I just fear that it’s gonna take him a while to grow into an even better artists.

“Swish” was the perfect intro track to getting the head noddin' and body swaggin'. After Hours is that track that will come back when the summer starts or be used for pre-game until then. In love with “Blackout” but it pisses me off because I don’t know who’s singing the chorus, even though it sounds like Bebe Rexha. “Anyone Else” is extremely mature for Mike, as he takes a step from his player ways and shows love to his girl.

The production is always amazing. So there’s that ;D

This is My - Ep IllustriousQ – My Ears Are Ready 2016!

I have been non-stop listening to Ady since I saw YT video of him singing “What’s the Score” live on SBTV. The official song has Joey BADA$$ (who never fails to impress) on it. His voice is so mellow that he can make curse words sound like baby talk.

Every song is so chill with casual drum hits and great instrumentation. Definitely check him out.

“Ain’t The Beep” is my shit!

The Black Box - Charles Hamilton IllustriousQ – My Ears Are Ready 2016!

I am beyond joyous about this project. I’m just happy that Charles it back. If the EP is this good, I wonder what the album is gonna be like. I know he’s back for real now with all the new freestyles he’s been releasing. I’m just gonna post my favorite lines from each song"

The Harlem Dr. Dre is how I need to be defined
Master of music and given a second try
I’ll never die – “Face The Music”

I got every top 5 clocking in over time
You know what fine? I don’t
But let me find out I do
I’m gonna gloat, you know?
My bars can get you laid like soap in jail
But no one knows until they’re locked in the cell
Or completely isolated in a bedroom – Crayola

Your Maserati’s chasing my truck, what you want?
I drive you to the brink and put the club on
I don’t make club songs, I make bug songs
Like a wired engineer, higher than a leer
My high is what you hear
Am I a pioneer? Only the gods am I trying to revere
Pain so deep, I’m crying through my tears
Headlines depress my mind when I’m reading them
Whether mono or poly, we need some kinda theism – Lessons

I knew you niggas would think Sonic was some lame shit
But he was all I had as a lame kid
And my theory was based on the ancient
But y'all know better than me
So I don’t say shit – “Down The Line”

No one will get that last one unless they’ve been following CH.

Nora - Lorenzo Asher IllustriousQ – My Ears Are Ready 2016!

Ever since he stopped going by Lorenzo Asher, the musics been getting better and better. He laid back on the rapping and took it to the house, literally. The album is a mix of both House and R&B with Lorenzo singing a endless serenades to various women.

“Cleopatra Selene II” is my favorite song. The vibes are beyond mesmerizing. The type of song to get you on the dance floor and just let the beauty out.
