“For all the debates ablaze in the hip hop community, the unanimous appreciation for Freddie Gibbs and Madlib’s music is a true testament to its quality. The duo has released two albums together, Piñata (2014) and Bandana (2019), and are planning on a third installment to complete the trilogy. The rapper-producer team up combines Madlib’s pristine jazz-fusion, soul-sampling production with rapper Freddie Gibbs’s knack for storytelling that is hardcore yet full of streetwise sensibilities. The result is a sort of hip hop purism reminiscent of the early 90’s.”

As the year winds down, we’re going to use Throwback Thursdays to revisit some noteworthy albums from 2019. @considine_music kicks it off with a review of the Black Keys’ album ‘Let’s Rock,’ which marked their return after a five year hiatus. Check out the snippet below, and full review on the website via link in bio: *

“Every song on the 12-track album features a driving beat that empowers the listener with a sense of personal freedom and a willful carelessness to the world around them. As compared to their last album ‘Turn Blue’, ‘Let’s Rock’ brings the Black Keys back to the basics of rock’n roll without the psychedelic undertones provided by Turn Blue’s co-producer, Danger Mouse. Let’s Rock features a lot of high-pitched, screaming, guitar riffs while also sporting low-toned, moving, rhythmic bases. Leaving out keyboards altogether, Carney called it “an homage to electric guitar.” So if you’re in the mood for guitar heavy production, look no further.” 🍑

Danny Brown’s new album ‘uknowhatimsayin¿’ is the follow up to his magnum opus from 2016: ‘’Atrocity Exhibition.’ The new album finds a more casual @xdannyxbrownx flowing over stellar production from the likes of @qtiptheabstract, @paulwhitemusic, and @jpegmafia. Check out the excerpt below, and read the full review on the freezepeach website (link in bio):

“From a music perspective, Danny Brown woke up from the destructive hangover-inducing binge that took place on his last album, and has found the time to cherish how far he’s come. On the chorus of Best Life, his gratitude is front and center, as he mentions he’s ‘living his best life.’ While it remains unclear if he can do things like ‘talk a cat off the back of a fish truck,’ as he suggests in Combat, it is clear Danny Brown can make dazzling music that rivals the best in the genre.” 🍑

Lana Del Rey doesn’t share the idyllic, charming, uncomplicated view of America that Norman Rockwell’s paintings famously depicted. Her world, like many others’, is entangled with dizzying amounts of confusion, yearning, and fear, which stands in stark contrast to the American media’s 20th-century version. On her new album, songs about her highs and lows, triumphs and failures, tell the stories of her own personal relationships and more generally of a people’s relationship with their country. It’s an ambitious parallel to make, but it works because it is never forced. The album avoids sounding overly dense thanks to its lighthearted and genuinely human moments of resolve, like when she confidently sings the album’s thesis statement: ‘fuck it, I love you.’ Moments like these show how sometimes you have to rely on emotion instead of reason when things around you seem frustratingly irrational. This resilient attitude makes the music both intriguing and relatable, and ultimately makes Norman Fucking Rockwell! is one of the best albums of the year. Check out some of her songs and videos on the freezepeach website and Spotify playlists 🍑
