February 5, 2025 — Leave a comment

98Keem’s debut album, Sweet Talk, is a vibe from start to finish, giving us the sexy drill vibes we love.

Executively produced by 98Keem himself, the project blends smooth vibes with hard-hitting beats, showing off his creative vision. Consisting of 23 songs, he also brought in some talented producers and artists like Mali Smith, Matthew Ali, todumoon!, Vontee the Singer, SyFrm201, Lonny Love, SPACELI, and YNB 201.

Favorites for me? “Foreplay (4K)”, “SHE WANNA”, “WAISTLINE” featuring Vontee the Singer, and “WET DREAMS (Red Rum)” featuring Lonny Love are all standouts. And don’t sleep on “UH OH (Interlude)”, “POSITIONS”, “GYMNASTICS”, “FCK THAT”, “WHY”, and “Na (Outro)”.

So, basically the whole album because it flows seamlessly—it’s one you can play straight through. 98Keem came in strong with this one, check it out below.

Anike’s self-titled debut album is a powerful statement from an artist who’s redefined Christian music. Formerly known as Wande, she’s the first Christian female rapper to achieve major commercial success, tour with Lecrae, and collaborate with TobyMac. Her name change to Anike, meaning “someone you cherish,” reflects her renewed purpose of glorifying Yahweh.

The album features standout collaborations. My top tracks? “All Around”, “Have Fun”, “Ese Baba”, “Pray for Me”, and “Desires”. Each song delivering heartfelt messages and undeniable vibes.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to her sound, this album is a must-listen that celebrates faith, identity, and creativity.

Capella Grey’s Vibe Responsibly: The Afties

January 27, 2025 — Leave a comment

An EP I’ve been keeping to myself, Capella Grey’s Vibe Responsibly: The Afties is the perfect follow-up to his Vibe Responsibly Vol. 1. What makes this project even more impressive is that Capella not only delivers captivating vocals but also produces and writes his own music, making every track feel authentically his.

The EP leans into the vibe that comes after the party, when everything slows down, and you can just vibe responsibly. “Im Weak” is my personal favorite from The Afties.

If you’re looking for something to vibe to when the night winds down, Vibe Responsibly: The Afties is your go-to. Available on all streaming platforms, this EP is the perfect soundtrack when you want to relax and enjoy the energy of the night.
