This is your usual punchline-heavy aggressive Chino XL music. The Canibus collab, 'We just Spit Bars' is fun, and as a seven track project should, it doesn't drag on, but there is nothing to save for later here and there are a couple of weak moments.

Musically/Instrumentally, Kae has continued to progress, as this offers more to enjoy than much of Kae's earlier work. Tracks like 'Know Yourself' and 'Prayers to Whisper' have strong, memorable moments, and the overall structure leans more towards traditional songcraft rather than the spoken word style of previous releases. That said, I preferred Kae’s vocals pre-transition, and the lyrical content here doesn't quite reach the depth of earlier material. A track like 'Europe Is Lost' still hits harder than much of an album focused on identity, which feels less relatable and less compelling by comparison. Best Tracks: I Stand on the Line, Know Yourself, Prayers to Whisper, Hyperdistillation

At times this score is colossal, dark, and emotionally charged that perfectly captured the weight of the film. Hans Zimmer brings the brooding orchestral depth, while Junkie XL adds aggression and darkness. Highlights include the heroic, cello-driven 'Is She with You?, the mournful 'Beautiful Lie,' and the devastating 'This Is My World'. Batman’s themes are grim and punishing; Superman’s are noble but tinged with tragedy. The movie has been unfairly hated on, and I think a reason I enjoyed it as much as I did was the soundtrack. Not every track begs for a replay, but the standout moments are so good they elevate the whole experience, especially for a film score. Best Tracks: Beautiful Lie, Their War Here, Day of the Dead, Is She with You?, This Is My World

Her best project so far! The first album has her best couple of songs, but a number of weak ones. I wasn't feeling her second much, minus the great single, 'I Believe in You'. But here, we have a fantastic album, almost from front to back. I was walking around the city with this playing in my ears and it created some great vibes with album art to match. Best Tracks: Seasons Bloom, The Right Time, Simple Sweet and Smiling, Walking at Midnight, Caterpillars, Easy Going, The Stars, Another You

This is straight gangsta rap with a mobb music flavour where laid-back, atmospheric beats are paired with gritty, no-frills street bars. It’s a solid listen all the way through, but don’t expect anything you haven’t really heard before. Beats: ★★★ Rapping/Bars: ★★★ Hooks: ★★☆ Best Tracks: On the Grind, Gangsta's Cry, Do or Die
