Kanye West - ye (2018)
(•)> Kanye’s unhinged performances in this ghost town paint a haunting portrait of his mental state as a bipolar man on “Ye”. Sometimes he feels like a superhero and other times suicidal thoughts pop into his head. This violent and volatile dive into his illness feels insane and honest. Furthermore, it is refreshing to watch Kanye West reflecting on his crimes of the past as an unfaithful husband and absent father.
(•)> This one made me fall in love with hip-hop. "Kids See Ghosts" is a groundbreaking and rejuvenating experience that deserves its genre. Art rap. Kanye and Kid Cudi fall into a new dimension and team up on the search for their ghosts in this colorful and psychedelic world which energy source comes from obscure vintage samples.

Arctic Monkeys - Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino (2018)
(•)> "Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino" really shines with minimal glamorous production and lust, but it's a tedious listen and Alex Turner's pen sounds more pretentious than ever.
Twenty One Pilots - Trench (2018)
(•)> "Trench" is a surprisingly outstanding outlier on Twenty One Pilots' discography. Twenty One Pilots was essential for me to dive into the world of hip-hop (the average experience of a white suburban kid born between 1997 and 2003 ) and this record did most of the heavy lifting.

BROCKHAMPTON - iridescence (2018)
(•)> After saturating the fans with an awesome trilogy the group goes for a more experimental and abrasive approach resulting in some raw highlights giving birth to BROCKHAMPTON's weird bastard child.

Gorillaz - The Now Now (2018)
(•)> Moody 2-D returns to basics.
21 Savage - i am > i was (2018)
(•)> I just love the way that glorious and emotional sample contrasts perfectly with 21 Savage's cut-and-dry delivery on "a lot". I guess I'm starting to become a casual fan of 21 Savage. At least for now, I think I can't name any highlights besides that excellent opener, but this release was surprisingly listenable from front to back and I would probably put it on the same level as "Without Warning".
Metro Boomin' - NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES (2018)
(•)> Can you believe that a friend of mine tricked me into listening to this average mixtape saying that was an album from 21 Savage?! But it only features 21 Savage three times... I feel robbed!!! "Not All Heroes Wear Capes" has a great casting featuring big names like Travis Scott, Young Thug, Drake, 21 Savage, etc., but it feels as clunky and rushed as the DC Universe felt on the big screen. The only thing consistent here gluing all these stars together with spit is Metro Boomin''s average skeletal production that usually doesn't stand out here like on "Savage Mode II" or Without Warning".
Death Grips - Year Of The Snitch (2018)
