Drake: Take Care
After I heard it, my heart stopped. That was it. That was what I anticipated for over a year. It was the hip-hop soundtrack to the film Titanic. It was basically the perfect R&B album, but stuck with a hip-hop label. Aubrey “Drake” Graham said Thank Me Later with an incredible debut and we all did. Now with his sophomore release of Take Care-that is exactly what I want to say as I leave this album at the bottom of my pile of disappointments.
Gil Scott-Heron & Jamie XX: We’re New Here (full album stream)
xx drummer Jamie XX and soul artist Gil-Scott Heron are streaming the entirety of their collab We’re New Here. It’s a nuanced, trippy, soulful alternative to some of the stupid ski-mask bulls%&t that pitchfork’s been touting as rap music these days.
