MR. LIF / J DILLA / ROYCE 5’9″ / J-ZONE [#GeekSwag Reviews]: Cloak & Dagger.

There's a few things you must understand before jumping into the goods of this review: 1.) Both the artist, Mr. Lif, and yours truly are Massholes (i.e. residents of the state of Massachusetts), 2.) The former Def Jukie is one of the most relevant hip-hop lyricists to #GeekSwag, known for spitting sociopolitical raps with a …

RJD2 / OPEN MIKE EAGLE + PAUL WHITE / ODDISEE / PLANET ASIA & DJ CONCEPT [#GeekSwag Reviews]: Fortunate Ears.

From the guy who delivered the ultra hypnotic, now famous Mad Men theme, to the sonically-enhanced soundscapes that justify his name similar to the more famous droid counterpart, comes Dame Fortune, RJD2's 7th solo album in 15-years. Yeah, this boy's been making music for a minute. If you're curious because you heard RJ can mesh …

KENDRICK LAMAR / SAMIYAM / LUSHLIFE & CSLSX / LMNO [#GeekSwag Reviews]: To Pimp A Galaxy.

Alright. Before we head into this studio, I got to make sure you cool. Don’t come in here snapping pictures and don’t record a damn thing. We' not even suppose to be in here. Kendrick Lamar is in a middle of a jam-session preparing for his second album, and said we can chill out and …

KANYE WEST / ASHER ROTH, NOTTZ & TRAVIS BARKER / MACKLEMORE & RYAN LEWIS [#GeekSwag Reviews]: Privilege & Pablo.

Look man. You ain't gonna get what you think. I'm not going into this Kanye review with a form or a format or a Beyonce' Formation. I'm just gonna throw my thoughts at you while I listen to this album. Donald Trump is successfully running for President; I can do what I want. But anyway, …
