21 Savage - X

Artist: 21 Savage feat. Future
Song: X
Album: Savage Mode (2016)
Genre: Rap, Hip Hop
Language: Strong

Well here I am, falling back into my heavy Hip Hop rotation from 2016 and 17.  I had managed to put "hood Noah" to bed for a while just cause I wasn't around people that gave a crap about this music, but I've been listening to it again recently and it's just been so fun.

I love the beats, the good ones that just smoothly flow are great to have on in the background when I'm working on stuff, and some of them have some heavy emotions behind them.

Like this one, 21 is clearly shook up about some breakup in his past, and I feel like this is a cool window into his coping with it by just showing off what's he's attained from his Rap career up to this point.  Giving context, this album is when he really took off.  It had a couple strong hits on it, and he partnered with Metro Boomin', one of the bigger producers in the Trap community.

I dunno, it's just kinda cool, ya know?

Post Malone - Rockstar

Artist:  Post Malone feat. 21 Savage
Song:  Rockstar
Album:  Rockstar (Single, 2017)
Genre:  R&B, Hip Hop
Language:  Strong

An artist I wasn't really ready to get into would probably be Post Malone.  I couldn't really think of an actual good reason to avoid him, but the couple songs I came across I just wasn't a huge fan of.

Honestly though, the dude is amazingly good at his job.  We listen to the radio at school a lot and as such I've managed to hear a lot of the dude's music.  His vocal work, while not something I'd usually listen to much of, is solid for the genre.  Plus on this track he teams up with one of my favorite rappers, so that's doubly good for me.

Check it out even if you don't think you'll like it, I've found him to be really smooth and easy to listen to.

21 Savage - Bank Account

Artist:  21 Savage
Song:  Bank Account
Album:  Issa Album (2017)
Genre:  Rap, Hip Hop
Language:  Strong

Honestly, I like a lot of stuff about 21 Savage.  Firstly the dude looks freaking miserable and thug like and this just makes me want to love his music.  Secondly he works a lot with Metro Boomin' and I love that dude's beats.  He's just fantastic.

I wasn't sure how I was feeling about his new album for a bit though, but I finally gave it a solid listen and I think I like it.  It's not great, but it's got some solid tracks to it.

21 Savage - No Heart

Artist:  21 Savage feat. Metro Boomin'
Genre:  Trap
Language:  Strong

I've tried to listen to this dude for a little while and I just couldn't get into his music.  This song for example isn't too bad, but for the most part I just can't.  I don't know, I guess I draw the line at super ghetto stuff or really Trapy stuff.

But for real, this dude has a freaking knife tattooed between his eyes, there is nothing about him that screams good choices.

Solid beat though and it flows nice, so I like it enough to post it, eh?
