Young Thug's "Slime Language 2"

-

 

Hey guys! So this week I listened to the new Young Thug’s album “Slime Language 2” featuring everyone he has signed to his label YSL or Young Stoner Life. So that pretty much means that whole cover art is everyone he has signed to his label, and I’m honestly surprised because I didn’t realize so many people were signed. It’s definitely cool to see Young Thug put in a lot of effort giving the spotlight to other artists, and while this album wasn’t the best of his work, I can appreciate the energy he’s putting into the trap scene.

                Anywho let’s get straight to it. The album was pretty long if I can be honest. 23 songs going up to an hour and fifteen minutes, and while I do love hearing trap and some Thugger, I felt like this project was a bit too long. There was a lot repetition between songs in style and in terms of lyrical content, making it feel like the only difference was who was rapping them. While there were some special songs that made me feel excited like “Solid ft. Drake”, “Came and Saw ft. Rowdy Rebel”, “WokStar ft. Strick and Skepta”, and “Moon Man ft. Kid Cudi”, it was still a bit of effort to go through the whole project. There were also some new artists that I listened to and I think have potential coming out of YSL. Artist Karlae showed off her ability to rap well in the songs “I Like” and “Trance”. Another one would be Dolly White, and even though she only had an appearance in one song, I did enjoy her ruggedness in “Reckless”. Besides that, I don’t think there’s much else to say. I did enjoy some songs from this album, but besides that there wasn’t much else to bring into consideration. If you have anything you’d like to add, feel free to add it in the comments or let me know in the Twitch stream.

                I also wanted to let you guys know that the concert scene is slowly coming back to us after the whole pandemic. I noticed that festivals are starting to take place later this year and I’m sure that means that artists will be able to perform at venues now. I wonder if there’s going to be a mandatory mask policy for concerts and I also don’t know how festivals are going to operate but it’ll be interesting to look into it. Right now, I’ll be honest, I don’t think I’m super comfortable with going to live performances this soon, but maybe a crazy lineup will have me thinking otherwise. I just wanted to let you all know, but besides that I hope you all have a great week and I’ll catch you next time!

 

My Rating: 6/10

Interview with Harry Katz and the Pistachios

-
          What’s up raDEO fans, today I get to share with you all another interview with our third artist for the blog. Before we get started, I want to give thanks again to Harry Katz for sitting down and talking with me as well as Vince from 4AM Indie Publicity for making this all happen. With that all being said, let’s just get into it! Finding Your Voice Getting ready to interview Harry Katz, there were a lot of different factors to take into consideration before hopping on the phone with him. This was my first interview with an artist that was part of the band, and this wasn’t just any band. Harry Katz and the Pistachios is a 10-man band that is composed of brass instrumentalists, piano players, and a whole bunch of amazing singers. Not only that, I had the opportunity to interview Harry after the band dropped their debut project, “Scared of Romance”. This gave me a lot more material to look over and use to create questions that would allow me to get...

Interview with Zoe Gabrielle

-
                 Hey guys! I know it’s been a while, but I AM BACK!!! And I’m back with a special treat for all of us because for the first time, I had the awesome opportunity to interview an artist and pick her brain on her opinions on both making music and the music scene we see today. Zoe Gabrielle is an upcoming singer who is originally from Nebraska but moved to Chicago to both pursue her education and her passions in the music industry. Zoe’s upbringing is a unique one that is surrounded by singing and musical theatre her whole life, giving her the impression that she was meant to be a part of the music/theatre field in some way, but didn’t realize her path until she impulsively released her first song in 2021. This path didn’t come quickly though as Zoe experimented with different aspects of music to see what works for her and what skills she wanted to perfect. Singing throughout high school, Zoe took an extra step by experimenting w...

Logic's Bobby Tarantino III

-
                  What is up everyone, I hope you all are doing great and doing good things. Happy August, and what a better way to start this month off than with Logic’s new addition to the Bobby Tarantino mixtapes, Bobby Tarantino III. I don’t know if you all know this by now, but I am/was/idek fan of Logic the rapper. I think he has created a lot of projects that have grown upon the essential parts of what made projects like Kid Cudi’s “Man on the Moon” series stand out. He is, however, coming off as a little lost right now as he’s jumping in and out of retirement to make music or do other things, but when he’s in the zone, the man can do wonders. That being said, let’s look at this project and see what there is to say about it.                 Having this be the third installment to the Bobby Tarantino series, I will definitely ...
