Projects / Unrelated Bonus:

Both categories are combined in one this week. While there were no releases worth mentioning that actually came out this week, I only just discovered this EP a few days ago released in December of last year by a duo composed of Blue Scholars producer, Sabzi, and vocalist Kelsey. I love it. Highly recommend for any Blue Scholars/Sabzi fan or to anyone who likes music in general really.

Weekly Hip-Hop Recap: Feb 14th - 20th

Every Monday I’ll continue throw up a Re-cap of the past week music wise. I won’t be posting everything that comes out, only what I recommend listening to.

Pretty quiet week. There’s a couple of tracks on the playlist from artists most people wouldn’t have heard of before but it’s still quality stuff. I don’t throw anything on there that isn’t at least a 7/10.

Playlist:

They’re in order of quality.

Albums/EP's/Mixtapes:

Blu – Amnesia

This was decent on first listen and the more I heard it the more it grew on me. Fantastic, grab this if you’re a Blu fan. Full review here. 

Fashawn – Higher Learning 2

Not bad. If you’re a Fashawn fan you’ll enjoy it, if not this won’t change your mind.

Odd Futures Performance on Jimmy Fallon:

First performance ever on live television and these guys went crazy. Not necessarily a fan of their music but this was brilliant.
