Mini Album Review: Rosalia “El Mal Querer”
El Mal Querer one of the best albums of 2018 and “Pienso En Tu Mira” might end up being my favorite song this year too.

Album Review: The War & Treaty “Healing Tide”
Country fans, blues fans, gospel fans, southern rock fans: stop what you’re doing and listen to this album. This is the space on the Venn Diagram where all those genres meet, where you can hear the soul roots of Americana.

If you’re the highest paid female rapper in history with more chart entries than Aretha Franklin and co-signs from every influential rapper, producer, entertainer across the industry, you don’t need to get into a Twitter beef with a casual listener or collaborate with a disgusting joke of a rapper no one will even remember in five years. Just be a legend and let your talent speak for itself.
