Mac Miller - Swimming

Mea culpa.

Marquis Hill - Modern Flows, Vol. 2

Marquis Hill and his band come through with a vibrant blend of dynamic jazz and conscious hip hop on Modern Flows, Vol. 2.

Bad Bunny - X 100PRE

The full-length debut from Latin trap popularizer Bad Bunny mostly sounds standard even in the context of stateside pop rap.

21 Savage - I Am > I Was

21 Savage's latest album delivers on its title.

The Postal Service - Give Up

The Postal Service's only album stands as an indietronic masterpiece and one of the best albums of the aughts.

Meek Mill - Championships

Meek Mill's celebratory new album ends up being a mixed bag of mostly generic pop rap.

Black Thought & Salaam Remi - Streams of Thought, Vol. 2

Despite its occasional lyrical missteps and production that's maybe a little too standard for Black Thought, this second Streams of Thought EP is nearly as solid as the first.

XXXTentacion - Skins

Skins is one of the year's least gratifying albums, but out of everyone involved in its creation, X is probably the least at blame.
