Die Young – Chinz – Murdered in a drive by shooting last May, here is the fine rapper on the last song of his first album, with mentor French Montana, on a haunting track and a sad farewell: the life, you know “I pray I’ll be okay when I grow up a little bigger, if I don’t tell my babies their daddy was a real nigga” – B+
Raising Hell – Bullet For A Valentine – The thing about genre is I you can’t catch the nuance, it morphs into one, in this case very middling, sound… saved, as these things seem bound to be, by the beat – C
Cake – Melanie Martinez – The last track on the deluxe and she is back to pity partying about how uneasy she is – C+
Have Nots – B.o.B – Nice intro but rap has still not discovered how to rock – C+
The Rain – Aer – I guess they’re hoping most people don’t make it this far – C
Brand New Sound – Barbie – I wouldn’t mention it only there is absolutely nothing new here, like, why would they call it that? It makes no sense – C-
Let You Go – Grace Potter – It is not true Grace Potter has no redeeming qualities, that nose of hers is cute as a button – D
Good Night In New Orleans – Marc Broussaud – This is a truly tired song, can’t he tell it sounds like everything else? – D
