Kush + Orange Juice 2

Image
Kush + Orange Juice 2 Album ∙ Hip-Hop/Rap ∙ 2025 Wiz Khalifa It was a big deal when #KushandOrangeJuice became the No. 1 trending topic on Twitter upon the release of the eighth Wiz Khalifa mixtape in April 2010, back when “hashtags” and “trending topics” were cutting-edge promotional tools. Back then, it was practically unheard of for a rapper with no major-label deal to be making such big waves (he’d left his former label, Warner Bros., in 2009). But there was something comforting about the red-eyed Pittsburgh rapper’s laidback mode of rapping about the staples of college dorm-room chatter: weed, women, cars, parties… Did we mention weed? Today,  Kush & Orange Juice  is considered a “blog era” classic—a throwback to a chiller, simpler time. Almost exactly 15 years later, its sequel arrives like a visit from a friend from long ago who’s grown up and gotten richer, but otherwise mostly stayed the same. The 23 terminally chill tracks of  Kush + Orange Juice 2  fea...

INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS

INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS Album ∙ Hip-Hop/Rap ∙ 2025 Mozzy After a prodigious 2024 run, which included a late-in-the-year joint project with Kalan.FrFr, Sacramento rap star Mozzy took only a few short months before putting out his next full-length. Not unlike his reflective 2022 album  Survivor’s Guilt , the 18-track  INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS  doesn’t shy away from the trials and tribulations that drive some of his most memorable recordings. On cuts like the unfiltered “UNDER OATH,” he doles out truths on his own terms, laying waste to those who fail to live by the hood code or, perhaps worse, flaunt it without regard. He dismisses pocket watchers and cautions the opps on the ominous “KATTA CLIPS,” proudly standing on his principles for the existentially broader “KEEP CALLIN MY NAME.” That clear commitment to street-level ethics extends to some of his invited guests too, namely EST Gee on “DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR” and Polo G on “WHO WANT WAR.” As locked in with his contemporaries as he ...

HEELS HAVE EYES - EP

HEELS HAVE EYES - EP Album ∙ Hip-Hop/Rap ∙ 2025 Westside Gunn Since putting on his first Heels Have Eyes event in Philadelphia concurrent with WrestleMania XL back in April 2024, hip-hop impresario Westside Gunn has fashioned himself into a full-blown pro-wrestling promoter. That should come as no surprise to the Griselda Records faithful, who’ve followed his WWE-indebted lyricism and kayfabe-derived cover art all these years. Roughly one year later, on the eve of a much buzzed-about Las Vegas installment, he drops this EP-length release that links to his 4th Rope brand. Following the secular gospel opener “FISHSCALE FRIDAY,” he slips into Flygod mode for the rugged boom-bap reboot “EINSTEIN KITCHEN.” Stripped of the guest list that hopped into the ring on the preceding  12 , he appears to holler even louder over the choral soul of the Harry Fraud-produced “GORO.” Helmed by Denny Laflare, the piano-driven “DAVEY BOY SMITH” nods to a long-departed Hall of Famer while Gunn rattles of...
