Bandana? Bandana. And a couple other things.
Here’s a link to the Week #3 Playlist for y’all
-----PROJECTS-----
Freddie Gibbs & Madlib – Bandana
Is it better than Pinata? No. But is it an outstanding sequel to an already classic album? You fucking bet your ass; get on this album people. Gangsta Gibbs. The Beat Konducta. This is all you need to know.

G-Eazy – B-Sides
Short EP, couple bops in there for fans of Gerald. A little disappointing coming off of the West Coast single, but we’ll see what the album brings.

DJ Mustard – Perfect Ten
An excellent producer album, a rarity on it’s own. Great beats, and Mustard really brings out the best in his guests, including YG, A$AP Ferg and Rocky, Future, Playboi Carti, Young Thug, & Gunna.

Statik Selektah & Anoyd – Yuck!
Never heard of Anoyd before, kinda sounds like Willie the Kid, backpacker for sure. Statik on the other hand should be known, as he’s already had 3-4 collab albums this year alone. This one isn’t amazing, but it’s got some good cuts.

-----SINGLES-----
Rich Brian (Feat. Bēkon) – Yellow
Strange and angsty cut from the dude who once was famous for microwaving bread. This is simply the timeline we are in folks. Not quite feeling it lyrically, but the extended outro with the strings is beautiful.
Here’s the Spotify/YouTube link to listen to Yellow:

Fat Joe (Feat. Dre & Lil Wayne) – Pullin
A dated cut from some old dudes. Good verses from Joey and Weezy, but the Marvin Gaye sample is just so badly incorporated. It doesn’t really fit into the track, it just sort of randomly breaks into Let’s Get It On; I love that song so I guess it’s not that big of a deal.
Here’s the Spotify/YouTube link to listen to Pullin:

Bhad Bhabie (Feat. NLE Choppa) – Get Like Me
I’m not going to even try to explain my standom for Bhad Bhabie, this is some good Three Six Mafia inspired shit right here. Ya’ll gonna skip over this cause it’s the cash me ousside girl, but this track and frankly every track she’s dropped this year has been fire.

Joyner Lucas – Broke and Stupid
Direct sample of Jay-Z’s “Dear Summer” used here, and Joyner does well on the beat… that is whenever it’s just the sample. The middle part of the track adds tacky trap drums and sub bass that I would love to just forget hearing.

Big K.R.I.T. (Feat. Saweetie & Lil Wayne) – Addiction
Great bassline, mainstream banger from upcoming album. Good verses from Krizzle and Wayne, Saweetie did her thing.

Hodgy Beats – No Brainer
Kind of awkward cut from Odd Future alum, it’s just good to finally hear from him again. Trap-inspired.

City Morgue & Pouya – Bulletproof Shower Cap
Fucking manic cut, south florida noise-trap. City Morgue is bloodthirsty as always, and Pouya is pretty good on here.

DJ Carnage (Feat. G-Eazy & Wiz Khalifa) – Wait For Me
EDM/Hip-Hop cut with a minimal hook and sudden drop. Wiz Khalifa is ok, but I really like G-Eazy’s work here. Carnage makes a pretty good beat.
