Don Toliver has always made music that feels like movement. Not the kind you sit with, but the kind that pulls you forward late nights, blurred lights, engines humming under city glow. On Octane, he leans fully into that instinct. This album prioritises atmosphere, velocity, and feeling. Octane is less about reflection and more about…

There’s something powerful about a global artist choosing Johannesburg as a meaningful stop on a world tour and Gunna did exactly that (because the music gods know that some artists like leaving africa out of their world and atlas). His appearance at the second edition of the Milk and Cookies fest felt intentional, well-timed, and…

Young Jonn is in a great space of becoming. This is that rare space where personal evolution meets artistic elevation, and suddenly the music starts to sound deeper than the dancefloors it’s built for. His recent interviews and music have that energy. He is still jiggy, still hit-heavy, but also fully aware that life has…

R&B’s never been short of heartbreak anthems, but few artists have grown with the genre the way Kehlani has. From the days of You Should Be Here and SweetSexySavage, she’s evolved from the Bay’s restless soulchild into one of R&B’s most emotionally fluent narrators.

In a world that celebrates noise, Ty Dolla $ign’s genius has always been found in his restraint. He’s the quiet hum underneath a generation’s soundtrack; the man who gave R&B its groove back while hip-hop flirted with melody and pop leaned into bass. His music doesn’t scream; it glides. And with the arrival of Tycoon, Ty finally…

R&B has been moving through a strange time warp half-frozen in mood-board minimalism, half-trapped in trap-soul fog. For the past few years, the genre has lived between playlists and nostalgia, unsure whether to chase algorithmic love or emotional truth. Then Josh Levi pulled up with HYDRAULIC, a 15-track debut that feels like a lowrider gliding…

Let’s keep it a stack “Am I the Drama?” turned seven years of chaos, confidence, and cash moves into a fire victory lap. When Cardi B finally dropped her long-awaited sophomore album “Am I the Drama?” in September 2025, the world stopped scrolling for a second. Not because it was a surprise, but because it…

When Focalistic and Ch’cco announced BOATS (Based On A True Story), it was clear from jump that this wasn’t just going to be another album. The gents were carving out a movement rooted in lived experience. This wasn’t a fantasy project or an empty promise. Nah! The gents delivered and ha ba cancela selo! The…

I would like to preface this with the fact that Jay-Z is my favourite rapper of all time and “Imaginary Players” is one of coolest/flyest rap songs to grace my headphones. Needless to say I love the fact that its getting the love it deserves. However this love comes with some hate towards the person…
