Album Review: "Iceman" by Drake

"Iceman" by Drake album cover
The certified lover boy is back! Two years after engaging in one of rap's greatest feuds with his fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar, Aubrey Graham is here to reclaim the most cherished number one spot in the genre. However, we cannot so simply brush aside the feud as it was taken under the pits of hell as the kids would say in todays lingo. Accusations of domestic abuse, pedophilia, the exposure of more hidden children and the questioning of racial identity and politics permeated the rap musical landscape for months and months, However when the dust settled, it was widely decided that the Boogeyman won the battle. In spite of that, Drake is back to prove that Kendrick may have won the battle but he will win the war. Not only did he come back to claim his spot but he is back with vengeance by releasing three albums titled "Maid of Honour", "Habiti" and the only one that will be reviewed on this blog "Iceman". It is a simple decision, Iceman was the album that was teased and the album that I was anticipating while the other two albums were surprise drops. Plus there are so many other albums, mixtapes and EPS released this year that I have to review. So with that being said, let us see what he3 has in store for us with his latest release.

Woman in The Mirror by Sacha album cover Ads can be such a nuisance! However, we have all had a moment where those pesky advertisements can be life changing. My discovery of the Canadian country artist Sacha can be counted as one of those life changing moments. After watching the video for "Later Tonight" by John Ross, YouTube played an ad of song called Shooting Star. Curiosity got the better of me so I went to the video to hear the entire song. Instantly I fell in love with the song and had to find out more about this new artist.

Album Review: "June" By De'Wayne

"june" by DE'WAYNE album cover "She's a synthesizer, Orchestrates the band, She's got the whole world, Wrapped around her finger, She's a synthesizer, Baby don't you understand, She's my heaven she's my earth, She's my woman she's my man." Lyrics taken from  https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/dewaynejackson/synthesizer.html The song "synthesizer" was how I was introduced to the wonderful artist called De'Wayne. I came across a snippet of the video on Twitter and decided to give the song a listening ear and I instantly feel in love. This new discovery filled me with so much joy because as an avid music listener I  always seek to expand my musical horizons to listen to genres I usually do not follow. Therefore, coming across a Rock N Roll artist that I instantly liked was so exhilarating. I listened to the song until my own ears and music player got fed up with me and was even more elated when I discovered he was releasin...
