A few recent rap releases that are much more than worth your time. First, Conway the Machine’s new EP, “No One Mourns the Wicked.” created by huge Ghost LTD, who Conway has dealt with before, this EP has much more excellent tunes than many overstuffed albums.
Conway doesn’t requirement a great deal of guests. He has the flexibility as well as capability to tell stories with grit as well as humor all by himself. This EP is even more evidence that Conway is one of the very best rappers working today.

And speaking of the very best rappers around, Polo G just dropped his second album, as well as the title stakes a insurance claim as the biggest Of All Time.
GOAT isn’t a huge departure from G’s last album, a debut that instantaneously put the Chicago rapper in the forefront of the rap world. It’s street tales, brags, as well as tunes for the fallen. however a modification isn’t truly required when you’re this good.
Polo G is so good, in fact, that he overcomes a huge crutch: He utilizes heavy overproduction on his vocals. I typically dislike this, as well as I’m still not a fan, however at least G’s not utilizing it as a substitute for lyricism.
Conway as well as Polo G are two sides of the exact same coin: Both have hardcore content, however where Conway comes out with force as well as aggression, Polo G has a much much more laid back, contemporary vibe. however unlike Conway, Polo G has released 15 songs–and that’s just as well many, as well soon after his last album, as well as the filler tunes (like Chinatown as well as 33) just noise as well much like other tunes on the exact same album that are much much more interesting. Still, there are lots of bangers here.
Is Polo G’s album going to make my end-of-year list? uncertain at this point. however for now, it’s certainly a extremely strong record.
Runner Ups:
First Yves Tumor’s heaven to a tortured Mind. There’s a great deal of imagination here, however your mileage will vary based on your tolerance for experimental hip hop. Pitchfork went very high, providing it an 8.5. So intellectual movie critics like it. I delighted in it, however I’m not sure exactly how commonly I’ll requirement to hear it again.
