HipHopDx Reviews
Mike G - Mike Check Volume II
Although it's far from wack, it may take a studio debut album to break through old habits.
Lais - 114
With 114, Lais aims to prove that he’s more than just another fan of his hometown heroes.
B.o.B & Scotty ATL - Live & Direct
Coming up on ya from the South, the ATLien sound ain't changed.
Flatbush Zombies - 3001: A Laced Odyssey
Being described as trippy often comes with a sacrifice of artistry but the Zombie's can't relate to such issues.
Denzel Curry - Imperial
A solid step forward in the Carol City rapper’s catalogue.
Dream Junkies - Good Religion
If only the youth ministry your outer circle friend invited you to sounded like this.
HXLT - HXLT
A self-titled debut that simply lacks the spirit to succeed.

A little more focus could have gone a long way for Zelooperz on his second album.

Two Los Angelenos chef up a b-boy soufflé for loyal indie rap foodies.
Solo Young - Thump In The Night

Project Pat - Street God 2
Keeping it one thou, Project Pat is having too much fun at the expense of a good mixtape.
Smoke DZA & Harry Fraud - He Has Risen

Rome Fortune - Jerome Raheem Fortune
"Jerome Raheem Fortune" may be Rome Fortune’s moment-too-soon, but it is as entertaining as it is scattered.
2 Chainz & Lil Wayne - ColleGrove
The duffle bag boys deliver the intangible goods.
Kendrick Lamar - untitled unmastered.
The cocoon the caterpillar left behind before it became a Butterfly is crystalized with jewels.
Kirko Bangz - Playa Made
85% pure sex.
YFN Lucci - Wish Me Well 2
Lengthy LPs usually fail to get to the point and YFN Lucci runs out subject matter on the album's top half.
Mya - Smoove Jones
On "Smoove Jones," Mya basks in her R&B roots with a modern twist.
