3. Worth It 8/10

4. Broad day 6/10

5. Fan 8/10

6. Freaky 6/10

7. Hop Out the Van 6/10

8. Don't You Lie 10/10

14. Fine as Can be 7/10

15. Buss My Watch 8/10

16. Dope Boy 8.5/10

17. Princess Cut 8.5/10

18. Jealousy 9/10

19. Blame it on Set 5/10

20. Upside Down 7/10

21. Healthy 5/10

Some highlights are "Don't you Lie", "Jealousy", and "Dissolve". "Don't you Lie" is my favorite song off this album and to me a clear 10. The production is high level. It consist of a beat you wouldn't expect to work and Offset slid.

Offset showed versatility on songs like "Dissolve" where he emulated more of the singing rap vibes. But, he still stayed true to his rapping roots in songs like "Dope Boy". I give the whole project a 8/10. I didn't add too many songs onto my playlist BUT the songs I did add, I see myself playing regularly. Not a bad solo debut album at all.

2. Yes 7.5/10

3. Your Friends 8/10

4. Going 5/10

10. Tell Me 7/10

11. Sorry 8/10

12. Make Time 7/10

13. Help Myself 7.5/10

14. We Just Friends 8/10

15. 7 AM 7.5/10

This was my first time listening to Hunxho's music, despite hearing his name a few times on social media.

Outside looking in, I wholeheartedly expected a Brent Faiyaz sound but he sounds more like a deeper toned A Boogie. For me being a first time listener, I think Hunxho's music is going to appeal only so much to me because he doesn't annunciate his words well. I hate the fact that he mashes a lot of his words up because the verses and story is what's making me like the songs for the most part.

"Bad Bad" and "Water Park" were the songs that I liked the most because they immediately pulled me in and I could understand Hunxho well in one listen lol. The EP has good elements, but Hunxho needs to work on having his songs sound a bit more clear and finished. I give the whole thing a 7.5/10.

22. Away From Home 9/10

23. Polar Opposites 7.5/10

Drake continues to put out music that intrigues his audience. Even if majority of his album has stinkers, he has the ability to get a viral factor from a song or three.

The viral song on this album was clearly my only number 10 song, "Rich Baby Daddy". For one, this song is perfect for a party which makes it interchangeable during the seasons and in different environments. It's a song that unites genders (which is very very rare in these times)through the celebration of twerking and good natured fun.

Another highlight for me was "Away From Home". This is the Drake I grew up on and the type of rap that made me a Drake fan. He's respectfully talking his shit in a story. If you add in the fact that he had an urgent cadence while still riding the beat, then you understand why I was getting HYPED. I don't think this is Drake's best work but it was better than I was expecting honestly. I'd rate the whole thing a 7.5/10.
